Would you say that the xx-013 or xx-011 has more room in the seat and thighs than the older skulls 5010, prior to them changing the denim around last year? I like the fit of the skulls but the seat and thighs are way too tight.

[Nigma]

Are you asking prior to the skull's changing or when the pbjs? Because now the 013s and 011s are the same cut (so same thighs) but the 013s are made with the same as 005s where as the 011s are made with a different left hand twill denim. Hope that helps.

[whatjones911]

Yeah I was asking in comparison to the skulls. I know the 013 and 011 are the same now, just want to know if they are more roomy than the skulls.

[blackfuture]

Hey, the seat of the x011 is probably quite close to the seat/rise of the old skull 5010xx when sized the same. The x011 has more thigh room, though.

[noirwest]

lamooood: are those 011's the same left hand twil available on BiG right now? How much did they stretch?

[roeyroeyy]

yeah too tight.

agree with these, good jeans tho.. but i don't really dig the fit. Could have upsize 1 for more comfortable fit. the thigh look squeezed. imo

Not the same on BIG sir.

I feel more comfortable to wear than first day

[Nigma]

lamooood: those are super gorgeous. can't wait to see how they turn out.

Every time I see macro shots of PBJs denim, it makes me want to buy a pair...

[itylerstewart]

Does anyone else want the 24oz purple face?? =O so beautiful. pics of a faded pair would be greatly appreciated.

[nism]

i love love love the slub. for some reason my right thigh is slubbier than the left. is it just the material irregularity or because of more friction in one leg than the other?

[Nigma]

I'd guess that it's just because of the irregularity, but for all I know it could very well be because of the friction.

@tyler the purple faces look amazing, def wish I the money to drop on a pair, but I'll stick with 005s for the moment. I've got a friend with a pair of the 14oz purple face, and the fades on her's look beautiful.

as a color blind person, i'd be very curious to know exactly how the purple shows up in the fading. I can see it on the inside of the jeans but does it peak through with the fading? How? blue to purple to white? Need pics!

I'll try and see if I can get some pic's from her in the near future. From what I remember, you get a bit of purple mixed with the indigo at the beginning of the fades, but I do think they eventually fade to white. Either way, they look sick when you have them cuffed. The purple/indigo combo is beautiful.

[tvshooter]

shinobi, you in NYC? go down to BiG and ask Yuji to see his pair. really nice fades and yes it does fade to white, but it still has a purple hue to it. very neat looking in person.

***oh wait, your colorblind? nvm

[shinobi2000]

Ait's weird, not entirely -- i can see the purple on the underside of the denim when I look i inside it. But if that's supposed to creep through on the indigo side in the front though...that's where it will be a problem for me because it will be a mix of blue indigo fibers and purple ones. And I'm not sure I'll be able to see the purple mixed in with the blue.

Pulled the trigger on some xx-013 a little bit ago. Will post pics.

Hey there, im finally picking up a pair of pbj 007.. my only concern

is whether to get a 30 or 29. looking at the one wash measurements,

the waist is 30.5 and thigh is 11 for size 30.

while for size 29, the waist and thigh is at 29.5 and 10.5 respectively.

i can fit into any denim with thigh of 10.25 and above comfortably but

the catch is my waist is about 30.5-31.. i was wondering can i get

size 29 for raw model? im hoping a 40 minute hot soak should not

shrink it that much to measurements that true of BIG.

ps: once i get the denim, the first step would be hot soaking it in

tub for half an hour? can i opt to just leave it soaked or must i wear

it? i dont understand how people can stand lying in the tub with the

hot water. and after done soaking, do i just hang dry it?

sorry for so many questions. thanks!

[shinobi2000]

If you're a true 30-31, do you really need it that tight to go down to a 29? What's wrong with just getting a 30? If you want to get the 29s I would say don't hot soak it, just cool or cold and stretch them out first before subsequent soaks. I usually let it dry to damp and then wear it damp.

[juhan]

thanks for the reply.

i prefer my jeans to fit slim in the thigh thats all

just hope the measurements are quite true so i can get a 29. like i said, no problem fitting into jeans with 10.25 inch(thigh). i guess im ok with 29 cause the waist stretch out a lot right?

[nism]

it'll stretch back quite close to the raw measurements.

[liannesmiles]

officially 17 months with my XX-011's,

getting new jeans at BiG tomorrow.

[TheNorthern]

wow...that feather is still close to mint

they look great

[BrownMetallic]

outstanding job, lianne! still tea-soaking? i've started on my Momo 701s__ x2 in Oolong, super concentrated. effect was subtle to sublime, but becomes more apparent [on naked eys] as it develops patina from a bit of wear.

i'm looking into some potent black tea for my next soak/s.

My jeans look more green than yellow in real life, I think you saw when we met in person at BiG earlier this year. You have to use natural tea with no sugars, remember!

[BrownMetallic]

oh, i'm going for ambercast

[Nigma]

Must spread Lianne. But those are absolutely phenomenal, and so gorgeous.

[ulysses?]

i know youre supposed to go TTS with the xx05s but with the xx011s should i size down one?

[anthonyoj]

liannesmiles - I must spread but those are beautiful.

[latterdue]

I sized down 1 for my 011 and they fit perfectly. Bear in mind that they are very tight in the thighs, though.
