God Damn. Those Fucking Rule. I love the 007's. I need to really kick mine into overdrive but the crotch is getting thin, so I've been taking it easy on them until I can get them reinforced.

[redX]

yeah my crotchal area is starting to wear thin too but i'ma wear these suckers till they give out.

i washed em like every other month back when i was wearing them every day. during the summer i obviously couldn't do that, i get really sweaty but now that autumn is slowly rolling around they'll get some decent wear

[nism]

okay i read through at least 80% of this thread so but i don't think there was a question exactly the same as mine.

i tried on a pair of 007 RAW size 31 and they fit very nicely, not skin tight, all the buttons can button up with relative ease (i've never had button fly before..)

will the ONE WASH in the same size stretch out to the same dimensions? or should I go a size up?

[Guest Midnite8]

One Washes will most likely not stretch or shrink, even if, it will be very minimal

[nism]

that's what I thought, but if the raws shrink to the one-wash same tagged size, there has been some comments here saying that the raws stretch back to their unsanforized size. so confusing..

damn my local store not stocking one-wash PBJs

[the_ming]

i bought the one wash 008 model and they stretched out a lot.

[redX]

yeah i mean why the fuck would they not stretch? doesn't make any sense. if you wash em they won't shrink any further prior to wearing them

accomodate for stretching when copping one wash, buy the same size you would buy raw

[PandaDenim]

It's been discussed before...

One wash just means they do the first soak for you.

They will stretch the same as raws, because they are still RAW. They just got soaked by the factory for you.

30 RAW = 30 One Wash.

Chill.

[desertfox]

alas my prayers have been answered. I've always wanted a pair of slim tapered black selvage jeans that resists fading. Can't wait to purchase a pair of the NC XX-011BKs

[echau]

any updates on the xx-012s?

[oliverisfiction]

I just got a pair of 007, my true waist is 34 and I bought size 33. They have been soaked for a couple of hours but didnt seem to shrink all that much. I am wondering if size 33 might have been too big for a true waist 34?

I could put them on a hot wash so I know exactly what they are doing?

[2long]

PBJ-005 SZ34 but I believe my true size was 33, but maybe I grew

Post-Intial Soak:

About 6.5 months in with one wash sometime between:

Needed a wash right after that.

NOW: (12 months, 3 cold washes, initial soak):

[Wu_Tun]

just true to size on choosing 005 and 007?

and i dont really know how to measure my waist.

is it like this?

74cm is 29 inches. so my 007 and 005 size are both 29?

thanks!!!!

[anthonyoj]

Go about an inch below your belly button is always what I've been told. To get your true waist.

[Wu_Tun]

ouch, this time its 70cm equals 27.5 inches.

so buy some sz 28 007s?

[anthonyoj]

That looks about right. I'm not sure what the sizing is like on the 007s so you'll have to wait for someone else to come through that does.

[denim4dayss]

my waist is like inbetween 32 and 33 and i went with a size 30 on the xx-007s

i was able to button everything up, but the thighs were a bit tight.

overall i like the fit

[not too tight]

hmm i thought you were supposed to measure where you want the jeans to sit. so then once you know that measurement you find the jean size that has a waist sized similar.

so i would actually measure where the jeans are on your waist now so you know how they would sit. or perhaps measure a pair of jeans you have that you like and compare measurements that way.

[dfaus]

^ yeah. that has always been my impression.

I am 29 when measuring an inch below my belly button, but am around 30 where I wear my 007s. I bought a size 28 and they have stretched to ~30.25

Hope this helps.

I've been told by many people to measure about an inch below my belly button to get my "true" waist size. To each their own I guess.

[denim4dayss]

i measured about 2 inches below my bellybutton which was pretty much where i wore my jeans.

if that helps at all

PBJ 007 One Wash size 31

I got these on a recent trip to NYC at BIG. I'm hoping that the thighs are going to stretch out a little more and I definitely want to hem them soon.
