Seconded on fit pictures if the 009. I like te 003 cut but love the double indigo denim.

[Guest Midnite8]

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 --___--

3 day old PBJ XX-007

what do you guys think?

[Stacks]

BIG restocked purple face ladies, if anyone is like me and has been promising their gf a pair for the past 6 months

[Guest Midnite8]

thomas, i think you need to take proper pictures.

also, does anyone know whether BiG does hemming, I bought my 007s there about 7 months ago.

[not too tight]

Yes BiG does do hemming but it may take a few weeks. I would suggest you email Gordon and find out how long the wait may be.

and Thomas you can't really tell much from those pics, the first one looks like black jeans!

[redX]

yeah well in poor lighting the 007s look like black jeans anyway

[not too tight]

I love how the buttons are wearing.

if you are wondering what that smudge in that picture is, here she is.

Anyone know when a restock of the xx-013 is due?

[kalpa1103]

^email big? sigh...

[denim4dayss]

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

[redX]

31 for slim fit, if you've got an ass then going down 2 will just straight kill your balls

[laughter95]

i asked this probably five months ago and they said soon, as of now i haven't seen a restock.

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.

if u have big thighs, go TTS, i have 20 inch thigh and got sz 29 007 raw, tight as fuk for the first week. down 2 is impossible for ppl who dont abuse drugs.

[Guest Midnite8]

007s thighs are slimmer than a lot of models, if your afraid of your thunder thighs, size up 1. I went TTS, 29 waist

[kalpa1103]

^same here, the thigh was still pretty tight for the first week.

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

[lance]

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.

due to stepping on my pbjs the chainstitching became undone:

should i just hem them a bit to avoid stepping on it or should i just continue to wear em like that?

[MiniW]

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.

Some fit pics of my 005BK sz 28, had them for a little while now but not too long.

[thedoad]

Awesome Home chainstitch. +Rep

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

post-soak fit.
