Looks like BiG restocked their 005's.

Except for size 29 in raw.

Is it worth it to go One Wash or should I go try to figure out what's going on?

EDIT: Just got some mail.

I think the one wash is fine. I bought them because they were out of the raw at the time and they're fine.

ummm, you're going to be sorry.

sorry to bring this up but can you tell me why you think this? any new boots of late as well?

[Florian.FloC]

That post was made referring to my not wanting to soak my 005s until a few months in...the reason why I shouldn't (and didn't) being because fades will develop in certain spots and then, with shrinkage, might move.

Also, when I finally wash, I don't want to have to worry about not being able to wear these anymore

Well, looks like after five months, I'll finally be getting my jeans soon.

yayyyyyyyyyy

Nice to see another 14 year old with some pbjs.

By the way you might as well start saving for some 007's. You'll want them after you get your 005's.

Also, what should I do here? How do I re-enforce this?

those look exactly like my 008's minus the fraying on the stitching. mine are starting to show some fuzz on the worn parts. are those gonna turn into holes in near future?

[rockon99]

^ my sams look like that too... is it time to reinforce? or just go with it for a while..

[grouse_allergy]

My friend is re-enforcing them as I write this. They were definitely starting to wear through and become legit holes.

[rockon99]

hows he doin it? just standard denim patch? or is he like, weaving it into the worn denim lol

[grouse_allergy]

She... is doing a very nice standard denim patch, with double stitching. Should she stitch the patch over the part that's wearing through?

[Florian.FloC]

I'm going through the same thing, still haven't had time to make it down to the tailor.

Bonus

[midnight]

That chapstick fade is so 3d it scares me.

BiG is not a good bet--I was in there last week and the entire back shelf was full from floor to top with repair jobs they're waiting to finish...

They essentially told me that it was unlikely they would even get to fixing mine if I left them there...your best bet is to go to a good tailor (if you're in NY, Ramon's on Mott St is quite good)

I vouch for Ramon's. Very professional, quick, and resonably priced.

She.. sorry lol

and i basically have the same question, unfortunately..

Just got my jeans today.

The waist is a bit tight at the moment, that doesn't worry me.

Button fly is pretty tricky too, but that's probably just because I'm too used to zippers.

I'll go get fit pictures in a bit.

[↓ Is The New ↑]

^holy crap, 5 years in the making and he at last has his jeans!

[.max]

Yeah, I pinched myself when the DHL truck came.

[Florian.FloC]

Repair photos coming soon, pretty boring but it should do the trick for now...

[.max]

Hmm... well, looks like I'll wait for these to stretch a bit more.

Got the top button after some wrestling and I have the middle two buttons buttoned too. The bottom one is pretty impossible at the moment and the second to top on is as well.

Edit: Picture time!

I really hope that is not a baby hip flare I see.

[who8mahrice]

Get used to hip flare.

Why is your bottom button not buttoning o.O? That should be like the easiest...

[.max]

I finally got it after some struggling. It's not bad anymore. That second to the top button though... damn.

Did anyone else find the backpocket leaf ugly and just took it off? After a while IMO it just looked kinda stupid and I took it off.

I like how pbj keeps everything at a minimal already. I like how they draw attention away from the detailing (no wierd arcs[i personally dont want arcs on any of my jeans]) and towards the quality like the dyeing and the tight weaving to produce the slubby texture.That leaf is just sentimental to where the tab used to be. Remove it if you must. I love it tho. Was about to neg rep but ill let u slide. It doesn't look stupid imo.

^Yeah I guess its all personal preference. I'm sure I'm not alone however. Same thing as people removing Nudies back pocket stitching.

which is by far one of the ugliest back pocket stitching you can present yourself with ... - the leaf is not even the same game!

[arcanum]

who has got the 010 ? it is available now on pbj website

[midnight]

Congrats on finally getting them max. Fit looks good.

[.max]

Thanks midnight.

A brilliant idea came to me in my sleep: A PBJ XX-010 world tour!

[grouse_allergy]

.max, your fit looks great. Is that post soak? I wouldn't worry about the hip flare.

RobotPunk... you were really about to give him neg rep for that? Give me a break.
