about 5 years ago when i was still in the army, i persuaded one of my best mates to get a pair of pbj. after i moved to australia, i've never seen how the jeans developed. recently, when he asked me about repairing some holes, i got to see how well they were. i think this was a pair of 011 if i remember correctly...

I just got my hands on probably the most beautiful shirt I own; the Kasuri indigo dyed shirt. Real nice 6oz fabric with off white mother of pearl snap buttons and the top button is metal cats eye.

My first PBJ shirt. I've been tempted before, because they really do make some amazing indigo dyed shirts, but this one really is something special. My pics do not do it justice (sorry especially for the crappy lighting).

Does anyone own a PBJ Type II denim jacket? If so, is there plenty of room in the sleeves or are they tight (especially in the elbows and forearms)? I'm looking at one of their Ai dyed Type II jackets and it's muy expensive with only exchange or store credit available upon return. Thanks

Honestly the fit is quite narrow everywhere including the sleeves and chest. I only wear in the summer over a t shirt cause I can't really layer anything under it.

Thanks, foxy2, everything else about the PBJ Double Ai dyed Type 2 Jacket (except the price!j, including shoulder, chest and even overall length dimensions are fine. Especially the denim which has a beautiful shuttle loomed texture and Ai color, almost justify the price. I’ve been looking for a denim jacket for years and thought I’d finally found my grail. Ah well, I’ll keep on the hunt.

Thanks for the photos, Foxy2 - the sleeves do look slim! I have been communicating with Merv @ Okayama Denim and here are his measurements for the size 6 XXXL. Shoulder to shoulder 22”, pit to pit 24 1/2”, overall length 29”, sleeve width @ shoulder 11.6”, sleeve width midway along sleeve 7.3” and sleeve width @ cuff 5.6”. These dimensions are O/W since this latest run is O/W compared to the original run which was raw. I’m going to measure two jackets with similar cuts and fabric, try them on and  compare them to this one. I very much want the jacket because of the texture and Ai dye but I want to wear it comfortably rather than leave it sitting in my closet.

edit  by the way, beautiful floor!

not sure about the grading in the bigger sizes and new iterations of this jacket, but the dimensions for the more regular sizes of the old cut (probably at least up to size 4) are very tight fitting in the back, shoulder and upper arms - compared to vintage type 1 and type 2 (or cuts based on vintage models) you will experience serious restrictions when moving your entire arms forwards and upwards.
the shoulders sleeve cap/scythe is cut like for a tailored jacket.
