Probably size 36 in the one wash version. Thanks for the reply!

Fresh out of a warm wash w/ air dry, these are my XX-019-WID in 33.  Roughly 16-18 months wear with 6 or so washes.

These have always been a bit big - especially in the waist and top block - hence the waistband fading along the back where my belt bunches the fabric.

I purchased these raw, and initially only cold soaked to preserve the thigh dimensions.  After losing some weight, I hot washed which caused the combs to shift a bit.  That, combined with washing relatively frequently, desk worker life, and the lightweight and soft nature of the fabric has resulted in relatively lackluster combs for a double indigo pair.

Patch is looking great.

Cat tax.

More shots in the complete album, if you want.  These have been back-burnered for the TCB contest, but I'm looking forward to putting another year and a half into them.

Beautiful work on the XX-019 WID Double indigo jeans, RunMountainDrew!

The result of washing my PBJ XX-003 at the highest temperature for more shrinkage. The patch is all hard en small now :), going to get it removed.

Incase anyone is interested I have a pair of AI-002 natural indigo version for sell, hardly worn as it is too hot for the tropical weather in Thailand.

If that's a short coat, I wonder what the long version looks like.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Anyone interested in the upcoming ODPBJ003 ?

I've got the SRKS-019 in size 34 on pre-order but I really don't need/want new jeans. These jeans should be shipped out soon so maybe OD accepts to change the delivery address. Pre-order price was 315$ but I used some points so they came down to 295$ which is the price I would pass them along for.

XX-019, 2.5 years, 0 washes, 1 initial cold soak, 1 crotch repair. About to give them their first soak wash, thought I'd post some before pics. Excuse the dirt, had to go out to Mojave for work. Pics taken with iphone 12 pm with indirect sunlight thru a window.

Which PBJ cut is similar to Iron Heart’s 777’s? I’ve always wanted to try PBJ jeans but seems like every pair I come across is an extreme slim taper with a narrow 7” to 7.25” hem. I’m looking for something with a 7.75” to 8” hem with some room in the thighs and knees. Maybe the XX-011?

I had a pair of xx-009s that was a great cut, nice and loose in the top block and only slightly tapered the rest of the way down. I’m not sure if it’s still in production, even five years ago it was kind of tough to find, but might be worth checking out. I also remember seeing some xx-007s back in the day that had pretty similar silhouettes to the 777s, maybe more so when sized down a bit!

Anyone else happen to see these on Pronto’s Instagram? Looks like they’re only available at a couple of physical brick & mortar locations. Been waiting for PBJ to do more with the 003 cut! Too bad I likely won’t be able to land these without a proxy.

Has anyone noticed that the fabric used on the xx-019 WID (double indigo) is different than the fabric on the older xx-012 and xx-007? They’re supposed to share the same fabric. The 019 fabric appears and feels less slubby/more smooth (obvious to the touch) and the indigo is dyed more evenly. Looking at the 012 and 007 fabric, it’s easy to to see spots of white peeking out from the fabric, whereas the dyeing on the 019 is very consistent. Was able to observe this as I have both the 019 WID and an older relatively unworn 012 (both one wash versions).

I want to say this is the same with the newest production of the xx-013 (from blueingreen) and the ones produced Circa early 2010s. The newer jeans just don’t feel the same.

I haven’t seen anyone or any source talk about PBJ possibly using either different fabric or changes to the fabric production. Just wondering if I’m alone here or if anyone else has also noticed/has any insights.

Got some weird ones off eBay today... cut off blue tab, lighter not very slubby denim, loose fit, and solid red selvedge. Pics soon.

Edit: as far as I can tell they are pre 2007 xx-006

Was going to say they look really old, great find. 

[Bobbo]

Great find @cheapmuthafukr!

[An Oxymoron]

Relaxed taper fam! Anyone have suggestions for something from PBJ they've liked that won't be too bad as temps warm up here in hot/dry Utah?

Considering the  NP-019 17OZ or XX-18OZ-019

Edited March 17, 2021 by An Oxymoron

[Geeman]

If the X019 is a good fit for you take it in the 14oz? ?

[beautiful_FrEaK]

...and there is a 12oz version, the  PBJ 1143
