sm2s, that taper job is proper.

thank you, sir.

I'm not digging the post-taper fit. Looks more like you spliced a skinny and normal fit at the knee.

dunno why it looks like that in the pictures, but it looks a lot better. looks flare-y in the pics.

How much were those tapered? About 2in?

1 in. 7.5"->6.5"

[A Beard of Stars]

I'm thinking the opposite. They just look too big above the knee for how close they seem to fit below the knee, but it could be lack of detail and bad pose.

Take some picture outsides while you're like sitting on a motorcycle or fighting a bear. I need to see this fit in action.

I'm going to post my PBJs at 7 months wear in a couple days. But as I sit here mending endless threads, inside and outside pockets falling off, splits in the seam, and crotch holes I can't help but say this: they are beautiful looking jeans, matched with horrible quality construction. Really frustrating to be mending threads from three separate pockets and a totally collapsed hem after only 7 months of semi-light/casual wear.

[salaami]

^^^have you washed/soak yet?

[Gavroche]

Not sure if you're talking to me Salaami, but if you are, yes I've soaked once.

Weird, my PBJs have endured a lot and they hold up great! Except for the back pocket, my wallet made several holes on it...and it's not even a wallet with like metal buttons or anything.

[lenn]

i have the same experience as panda, mine hold up perfectly too, except for the wallet issue. threads are still intact, as are the pockets. the hidden rivets are breaking through my back pockets though, and i don't know if i'm going to fix that. also, it looks like all my beltloops are breaking in a month or two. not really a quality issue though, i think my ALD belt is just a little too big for the pbj's.

@ linwe: it doesn't really matter, but i had mine tapered on the inseam because i didn't want them to fuck with the selvage as i like a small cuff.

worn in pair of AI-001 from the pbj site! almost a year of wear

[opethrapture]

That's one nasty fit..

[Stacks]

haha those dont even look worn.

[lenn]

that's not me, at least try to read my post before commenting. i got the pics from the pbj site.

are you serious?

are you f+cking with everyone?

are you high?

[lenn]

not high yet. will take a couple more hours.

i am serious though. i think that everybody's forgetting this pair is dyed to the core with natural indigo and doesn't fade like the average pair of 005's. think of them like 45rpm jomons, which take years and years of construction work before showing even the slightest hint of indigo loss.

[chambo2008]

looks good bro thanks for the pic

[shaftoe]

That doesn't change the fact that the fit is heinous. Hey, first post. Hi!

[Stacks]

hyperbole much?

No doubt that denim material is stubborn as fuck, but I bet you'd see visible wear if they actually were sized correctly and not worn like denim potato sacks.

shit, there aren't even any substantial creases in them and it looks like he's only got lap creases on his right lap...

If those were worn for a year, then they musta been worn as pajamas.

edit: no hate on you lenn, not your jeans - don't kill the messenger ;P

[vanfragmeter]

How should I size for 007's in raw?

Im a true 32 waist and 6 feet tall, 150 lb.

[salaami]

ive heard of the top-notch momotaros and how they only get darker as they fade, but c'mon even of dudes fit wasn't so damn baggy they would show other signs of wear, like the stitching on the back of the jean, and on the pockets. something's up here. no signs of abrasion/crocking whatsoever...

I'm 6'0 160 true 32 and got 32s. They fit me perfectly. You could probably go to a 31 if you think you've got the thighs for it.

He doesn't.

To OP: you don't.

[premiumsqueezed]

My PBJ xx-005 after about 7-8 months? 4-5 soaks, the last one being in the ocean searching for grunions at midnight.

[vanfragmeter]

To OP: you don't.

And you are who? Youve probably never seen a single picture of me...

Our_benefactors - thanks.

[Junksen]

[baldy]

[Stylish Pilot]

PBJ XX005 almost 8 months. 3 washes 2 soaks. bought 1 wash.

train tracks coming along

chapstick busted through

just did some repairs to the crotch, leather patch, and front pocket.

[premiumsqueezed]

They've all been hot soaks. I've always started them up with some boiling water straight from the kettle, and then fill the rest with my shower head, on the hottest setting.

I hope doing crotch repairs is easy...Mine are about to blow out any minute now.

[morse9443]

Anyone have progress pics of the xx010 purple face?

[A Beard of Stars]

http://www.superfuture.com/supertalk/showpost.php?p=1729118&postcount=872 has pics of a distressed model.

I kind of want to see jeans that bright in an outfit, almost seems too much.
