Thanks but I was wondering about measurements from personal experience as opposed to these one washed pairs.

These are posted on behalf of Adam Kerchman, whom I met while in BiG a few days back wearing this baaaaad ass pair of PBJ xx-005s, worn since october 2007:

Now BiG got 30 tagged xx-007s restock for one who's been looking for it.

Thanks but I was wondering about measurements from personal experience as opposed to these one washed pairs.

I just hot-washed my size 33's last night and got the following measurements:

Pre-wash:

Waist: 35.5

Rise: 10.5

Thigh: 12.75

Knee: 9

Hem: 9

Post-wash:

Waist: 34

Rise: 9.75

Thigh: 12.25

Knee: 8.5

Hem: 8.5

After about 10 minutes wear when damp:

Waist: 35

Rise: 9.75

Thigh: 12.5

Knee: 8.5

Hem: 8.5

By the way, I'd highly suggest doing a hot-wash over a hot-soak. It assures that you get all the shrinking out of the way. Also, like PandaDenim said earlier, PBJ's retain their color very well. After I hung my pair to dry, I noticed that they didn't really lose much indigo at all. They still looked practically black.

Hope that helps.

Big help. How'd they measure after a hot wash, if you did one?

I did a hot-wash. The post-wash measurements are after a hot wash.

^those 005's are amazing.

[beatle]

lol**I have that same shirt...

I called BiG to ask about the Eternal 811's and some PBJ's. To my surprise, I was told that the 811's are a tight jean (surprised because I compared the actual measurements on my Levi's 505's with the measurements posted on BiG's website, and they weren't much different).

My question is: how tight are the 811's? I'm a pretty skinny guy (5'10", 135, 20" thighs, size 30 Levi's 505's that have an actual waist of 32" and a 32" inseam), but I'm not interested in wearing either tight or baggy jeans. If I want to achieve a fit like I get with Levi's 501's or 505's what would you recommend? I've been thinking about the Eternal 811's, the PBJ XX003's (although I'd prefer a one-wash pair of jeans), PBJ XX005's, PBJ XX008's and Samurai S5000VX's. The problem with the PBJ 005's and 008's is that they seem to be low-rise, something I want to avoid (they're just not comfortable for me). I'd like to avoid any pocket detailing if possible and just let the denim speak for itself.

Do any PBJ's fit the bill (regular fit, medium front rise (10" or more), great dyeing and no back pocket detailing)?

Thanks.

How does the fit of the xx005/007/010 fit to APCNS? I'm a 30 in new standards but would like something just slightly more relaxed in the thighs, how does this cut compare?

[stukovx]

[PandaDenim]

Ho ho.

Close ups of the crotch.

YEE THAT'S HOW REAL MEN DO IT.

[echau]

how long have you been working on those stukovx?

+rep.

[soulsoi]

intense slub !

fffuuuudge mann those are nasty

[opethrapture]

That 007 denim is really amazing.

Anyone have any remotely faded 010's??

[Elo]

If I wanted to get pbjs Which style to get if i wear Mij 19cm sz 28. What I'm actually looking at right now are 007s. What size should i get for those?

[Stylish Pilot]

probably 29's. 28's if you're a skeleton. pbj's stretch probably as much as dior, if not more in the waist

[PandaDenim]

They don't make cuts like the 19cm...

But if you want that type of cut I suggest you just size down two(?) on the 005/007/010 cuts.

So maybe one down from your Diors? so like 27?

[Elo]

my 28s are sorta tight on the thighs. I mean i can always hem or alter them. How do we hem/ alter. Is it before soak or after soak. And are size 27/28 being conservative or do I gotta have twig legs?

[gonegonegone]

i'd say size up one or even two for the 005/007/010 cut from your mij 19cm size if you are not very skinny. i owned the 19cm mij in size 29 and i ordered the same size for the 007s. they were tighter than the diors pre-soak.

[PandaDenim]

If you order from BIG they have a pretty good return policy so you might as well try a size and return if it doesn't fit(trade).

[Elo]

Dang.. Crazy fast replies. Man.. Im soo unsure! Should i measure my thighs and someone gimme an estimate? At the biggest I have 20 inch thighs. What to do? Oh yeah, I wear 28 in slim jims and 28 in apc ns. Thanks so far guys

[dfaus]

I wear a 28 in the 007s and wear size 28 apc ns (but should have gone with a 27). i'd say go 29

[Elo]

Im just curious.. Why is that you would go down more and I would go up and not stay 28? Thanks

[dfaus]

I was referring to my APCs when stating that I should have gone with a 27. hope that clears up the confusion.

[Elo]

hmm.. Can you measure the biggest part of your thigh and your where you would measure your waist/hip? This is very helpful !

Thinking of picking up a pair of PBJ-003 one wash. Thing is I already have a pair of Oni. I heard Pure Blues are pretty slubby, second to only Oni. Wondering if they will fade the same? I just want to get a pair of jeans that will fade the same as my Oni. Thanks.

Why not just keep rockin the Oni's then, and wait for retirement and when you feel like a change is in order to purchase a new pair?

Though I can see why you chose PBJ's.

[irbe78]

^My Onis are pretty worn out. Been a year. I can still wear them but I have to get the crotch fixed. Currently on FH3003. I only wear one pair of jeans at a time - I just always want a new pair on the FLY.
