Pure Blue Japan

[jyoni]

Those are some serious kneefades.

 

They go quickly on these.  My newer pair is already graying out on the knees and I've hardly worn them.

[Goominim]

If they still made them without the leaf I'd buy 3 pairs. Designs are so distracting. That's why I like the Sugar Cane 1947. No arcs. No tabs. Minimalism.

@autobot_tom would love to see some fit pics of these. Great looking pair. 

[playgfordisabled]

Here's my update for my xx-013s at roughly 4 months of mild wear, aka walking & sitting in them. I'm pleased with the way they fit on me but my OCD kicks in and the left leg opening looks/feels wider & less fitted because my right calve is half an inch bigger than the left. sz 28 length 32. triple cuffed

 

 

Fade progress:

 

 

 

(I wish I could achieve a symmetrical whisker pattern, but my left thigh has been inflamed with mild bursitis for about a year so the jeans cannot form the whiskers seen on the left of the photo)

@playgfordisabled

love the jeans, but not the fit.. I think it's too tight for you.. especially at top block.. 

[Zenshiro]

nutcracker. too tight.

[playgfordisabled]

you guys think so? when I wear them i have a decent amount of space in the thighs & crotch.. hmm..

[Idcue]

I'm thinking of picking up some XX-017s from Rakuten. How should i size? they're one wash.

I guess you think like that because you are used to wear a very skinny jeans..

 

Take a look again at your fit picture and please compare it to other guys', they're wearing the jeans in good way, which results not only good looking fit but also a comfortable fit for you..

 

but at then end, that's your decision, your jeans, your rules..

You could rip it out with a seam ripper or utility knife.  I don't know how easy it would be.  I de-embroidered a pair of those outlandish Macau-made Evisu No 1 and it sucked.  And the stitching was big, not small.

 

*the smaller pockets of later lots are quite nice imo and it would be worth your time

On Tuesday night the 14th of January around 3 to 5 AM, DC4 has been robbed. Most of the items in our store at the Torstrasse have been taken. The police are currently investigating the case.

 

Important: DC4 stamp 

All the jeans from our store have been stamped 'DC4 Berlin' on one of the inner pockets. If you come across a brand new pair of jeans with this stamp, get in contact with us as soon as possible! Please keep an eye out for any of the goods that might come from our store. Many brands are hardly available outside of Japan, like Toys McCoy and Samurai Jeans.

 

 

Help us find stolen items and get a reward!

Do you spot a stolen product on websites like eBay or on a forum? Send the link to contact[at]dc4.de and you'll receive a FREE pair of jeans, and a discount on your next 3 orders.

 

Don't place online orders until further notice

Naturally, this means that orders placed online cannot be processed right now, we hope for your understanding. The shop will be closed until further notice. We're shocked and outraged about the whole event and can't wait for the criminals to be put to justice.

 

 

Please share guys! You can address me with any info, also DC4 contact or direct with Daniel. Thanks!

 

DC4 team.

[P_K]

Fuck- sorry to hear this news. Will keep an eye out.

[SuperJackle]

Shit that's awful.

[Davil]

That really sucks.  Hopefully the popo or a helpful citizen can help you guys.  Last year someone broke into my brothers storage shed, and stole all his equipment for his company.  He and his employees had to go without work.  He went to a local news station who did a short bit on it.  In two days, someone from the neighborhood turned the thieves in, and he got all of his equipment back.  Anything is possible.

[SuperJackle]

You guys should post this somewhere other than the pbj thread so it's gets around easier.

Edit: sorry I just realized you posted it in the IH thread.

My first/favorite pair of Japanese denim that I got back in 2008.

 

Pure Blue Japan XX-005

Multiple washes.

Notice the leg twist.

 

 

[lance]

^ nice work, man!

[M1stral]

[B-Sandy]

Took a quick fit pic of my XX-011s. About 4 months of wear or so. 

 

 

[M1stral]

Those are XX-012's? Guess it's a typo though.

Atleast I was thinking you own a pair. Might be that you also own the 11's but that I hadn't seen those yet.

If so... Forget what I said then.

Edited January 28, 2014 by M1stral

[B-Sandy]

Those are 11s. I also own the 13s. Plan on picking up the 12s sometime next month when they're restocked in my size

[M1stral]

LOL. All those numbers got me confused. Nice looking pair though.

[DhaDha]

Here's my ProntoxPBJ collab, PBJDEC05. They are essentially XX-012 with different patch and pink leaf. 

 

exactly 5 Months of effective wear, 3 soaks.

Leaf's starting to fall off

 

 

Crotch about to blow. I should get these reinforced soon before that happen. 

[Cold Summer]

Stunning.  This is what raw denim's all about.

[Broark]

Wow, those are fantastic.

Just another reason why I need a pair of PBJ denim at some point.

[noirwest]

5 months!    Holy shit dude, those are seriously amazing.

[Max Power]

Still thinking of getting me some PBJ this year. As denimio doesn't stock raw ones anymore - does anybody know a japanese store that does?

[DhaDha]

Stunning.  This is what raw denim's all about.

thank you!

ah thank you! I think it's mainly due to the humidity and temperature here in Thailand, plus i have a mild form of ocd so i tend to rub my thighs obsessively at times   (actually, i also do go cycling, work out and conduct field work in them)
