Whiskers are coming in okay in mine, maybe a little slowly, but the honeycomb fades are almost nonexistent. Mine are getting a bit thin in the crotch, I'm thinking about sending them to Denim Therapy soon for a bit of preemptive darning...

Well mine are going on 7.5 months now and I do see honeycomb fades but the front whiskers are hard to develop, lap fading is visible alot but it's just the whiskers --___--

hey guys.

sorry for another question about sizing >_<. its just that i dont have any jeans that fit me well because the last time i bought jeans i was about 20 pounds heavier than i am now and cant really measure a pair to find perfect sizing.

I am looking to purchase the xx-007s in raw and i was just a bit sketchy on sizing. i measured my waist and its 32" i was wondering if i should get a size 30 or 31. i did also take into account the shrinkage post-soak..but im worried that if i get 31s they will stretch way too much and fit too loosely.

thanks for your help! i really appreciate it :D

Just received a pair of PBJ indigo chinos from Gordon in record time; ordered Sat afternoon, in FL Mon afternoon USPS Priority. They are beautiful - as close to raw as non denim indigo stuff gets.

how did you size on them? are they shrink to fit like the BiG chinos?

Hey the_ming - I ordered size 4 which measures 17 1/2 waist (Blue in Green style), 12 1/4 FR, 14 1/2 BR, 12 1/2 thigh, 10 knee, 9 LO and 34 1/2 inseam. They are O/W so should not be much if any shrinkage according to Gordon. If you like saturated indigo stuff, don't hesitate. Reminds me of 45RPM at a reduced price; they are beautiful.

so I had my 005BK jeans tapered a bit a while back, and the tailor did an excellent job of tapering. However when it came down to the hem she used a weird combination of black threading on the inside and golden threading on the outside that clashed greatly with the original chainstitch. The area was only like 3 inches on the outseam, but considering I wear all my jeans cuffed a little bit, it was bothering me greatly. I considered going to BiG to get them re-hemmed but instead I took some time and found some methods to chain stitch by hand, here are the results:

the method I used was a simple chainstitch using a single thread, I could not replicate the machine chainstitch exactly as it consisted of two separate threads and was far more intricate and beyond my skils. However I am pretty happy with the results and if I had before pictures to show you, I think you'd agree that they look much better. I just wanted to show this so that if any of you had simple repairs to be made, you don't have to settle for machine hem.

hey guys i got my size 30 xx-007s in the mail from blue in green.

i was worried that i sized down too many at first but i really like the fit. my waist is 32" and i have 20" thighs..i got a size 30. Thanks gordon and the BiG team for helping me through this process!

I soaked the jeans for 40 minutes in hot water and 10 minutes in warm water. Was this enough soak?

Presoak fit..sorry for the crappy pic
