@panda

that's a perfect fit for a super slim cut jeans, very well done panda, must spread before giving it to panda again...

@stukovx

nice evo, will rep for sure...

[redX]

i think panda has a pretty dope fit for a slim jean, that's how it's supposed to look imo.

though i would get them hemmed for sure, too much stacking going on

also i would contact Hide-san from Sharp service. they seem to have very good prices

Do 007's shrink the same as the 005bk? BiG says they all (007, 005, 005bk) start off as 35.5 (on a sz 33), but while the 007 and 005 shrink to 34, the bk shrinks an extra inch to 33. Is this right?

[everyinchofgod]

Very nice, Panda and Stukovx. Don't forget, Panda, that PBJ's stretch quite a bit. I think you'll be fine after a week or two.

jeans look great

[PandaDenim]

what's the shrinkage panda? did you just do a hot soak?

I did a hot soak, and it shrunk about an inch everywhere, I didn't actually measure it because as people have stated, PBJs stretch a lot. My first pair[xx-005s] stretched a lot so I didn't bother taking measurements...but after the first day of wear the waist stretched like an inch already.

The weft is awesome on the jeans, and the yellow stitching is awesome, a little bright, but awesome.

Too bad I won't be wearing them till April/May.

Dam stukovx, those get better every time I see them! +rep.

[mrphrog]

Keep in mind the PBJs stretch like a mofo, so go with the tightest size your nuts can handle

[A Beard of Stars]

Nah, go TTS and get a belt.

[Satya]

mrphrog

you should at least size down 1 from your TTS on PBJ, they stretch like hell especially in the waist area...

[Guest Midnite8]

I'm about to order some 007s, one-wash or just hot-soak myself and buy Raw? Down 1 from TTS right?

[Satya]

^^

I prefer Raw and a hot soak if I were you midnite, I am a fan of those stiff jeans, and 007 yes you should at least down 1 from your TTS

[Aries]

Someone decided to vomit too close to my PBJ 005s a few days ago, so had to give them a cold wash (their first) after approx 3 months of wear.

Sorry for shitty iphone pics, not got a better camera.

[justuhgeek]

for the most part, ive heard that BiG measurements are a bit off

so could anyone tell me if the measurements for the xx-009 (or any other STF model for that matter) on http://www.purebluejapan.jp/archives/485 are for the raw or one wash denim?

someone experienced in the japanese tongue would be nice

thanks.

How much do they shrink if I hot soak, specifically in the waist and leg opening?

[CUTUP]

How much do they shrink if I hot soak, specifically in the waist and leg opening?

I hot shrunk my pair ( 30 minutes in a tub with hot tap water) follwed by another 10-15 minutes in room temp water, and this was the difference

After soaking, the measurements I got ( I am a 32) were as follows

Waist 16.5

Inseam 34.5

Thigh 11.5

Leg opening 8

They were as follows before I soaked them

Waist 17 1/4

Inseam 36.5

Thigh 12.25

Leg opening 8.75

Many people here have tried to spot soak with hot water after the initial soak, and even with boiling water it doesn't seem to do any good as far as extra shrinkage goes. It seems to make a very small difference, but if your looking for a major change, I dont think it will help

jus relax man it doesn't even matter because these jeans will stretch out a lot in the waist and thigh area after a couple of wears

also the jeans will shrink to the tagged size and not from it

and if you aren't satisfied with the leg opening post soak you can still get them tapered

Oooh, hmm, thanks!!

[Satya]

midnite

as redx said, don't worry about the shrinkage, just do think about the stretch, this jeans stretch a bunch, especially in the waist and thigh part, based on personal experience...

[appfaff]

my xx 005s when they were at 1 month
