agreed, those look fantastic as they are now. after shrinking they will looking like girlfriend jeans.

[kenzie]

decided to stick with them and this is what i got. im pretty happy with it

[beautiful_FrEaK]

looking good. sometimes I wish I had such thin legs

[kenzie]

thanks b_f. haha thin legs are a pain man, its kinda tough to find proper fitting slim/skinny jeans without overdoing it. theyre either too skinny or too lose, never the happy medium. pbjs feel nice though, and the texture of the 011 denim is great. im really looking forward to how these turn out ten months down the line

One Wash XX011's @ 11 months (no soaks/washes)

most natural light was outside, but the wind wasn't really helping ....

[sweapea]

They look great!

[grand_theft_auto]

these XX-005's confuse me. i take 32 in sams, skulls, ironhearts, whatever. i hate the sizing thing so i just buy a 32 in everything and hope for the best. i got these in 32 and they felt snug raw but threw 'em in the machine anyway. they came out like a vile denim tourniquet and i thought fuck it, sell 'em. but after a few hours of wear they kind of stretched out to what you you see here. i dunno, they don't look all that bad, but they feel weird. is it just the cut of them or what. i don't know. should they stay or should they go?

long time no update sufu, happy thanksgiving.

PBJ XX-11's ( 17M retired) compared to PBJ XX-13's (2M)

[grand_theft_auto]

don't really know what to make of these. wear a 32 in sam 5000vx, skull 5507, ironhearts etc. scored these xx-005's in a 32 as well. after first soak looked like i'd fucked up, resembling as they did, a denim tourniquet. after a week of wear and biking to work they stretched out to this. not really convinced. i dunno, keep or sell?

these jawns confuse me a tad. i'm not sure what to think of them. for reference, i take a 32 in sam 5000vx, skull 5507, ironhearts etc. so i copped these 005s in a 32 as well. after soaking my reaction was that i'd fucked up. they were like a girl-jeans or a vile denim tourniquet. anyway i decided to give them a week before putting em up for sale. so a week later they're like this. i don't think they look that bad, but the cut is certainly on the odd side. i dunno, sell or keep?

Possibly keep and taper? Idk they look huge from the knee down.

i hear what you're saying. like they have a gnarly little 'kick-flare' or something. in fairness they look straight-ish legged from the side:

Exactly my problem. I tapered mine which is what I recommend you do. Denim is too good to waste on selling.

sounds like a plan. thanks man

Just ordered myself a pair of xx-005 one wash. Should be here next week, I'm looking forward to the slubbiness.

I missed this post but had to say that i'm so glad you stuck with it. Sometimes sizing up doesn't always get you the perfect fit the way that a careful washing of a TTS pair can.

My PBJ's xx0013 after about a year. 1 presoak + 2 washes. iPhone picture doesn't quite do them justice...

[poop]

got a pair of xx-013's soaked and drying right now. hopefully it comes out gooood

[everyinchofgod]

This denim is on a whole different level. Awesome.

[shinobi2000]

true dat! but oh so hard to fade though :-( My pair is the only pair of jeans I've ever owned where a tear formed before a fade.

[Virtue Effects]

Got my xx-005's today. Man they are really slubby, but I love it. The fit is awesome so far, the thighs are a little tight but I knew that they were going to be, the straight leg will take a little to get used to because i've been wearing my IH 301's for some time. I'll post some fit pics later tonight, but I don't have my camera with me so my iPhone will have to do.

My PBJ XX-013 at 1 year 6mo.

Two Soaks, and one hand-wash at 1year with help from my man Dr. Bronner.

These are the older model 13s and are a little bigger than the current model at the leg opening.

Really close to current color; you can probably see all the dust these have collected working shipment.

bonus pic: The reason they got that hole in the knee, and need to be washed. I'm not sure if I want to patch the knee before I wash it because I'm not a huge fan of patches on the front (I've made plenty on my crotch).

I just don't want the hole to fray more in the wash.

^^ ouch... at least they look good

is it just me or do these almost look like herringbone/broken twill? i know they're rht, but the uneven yarns make it look like it isn't to me.
