XX-012

 

 

is it exactly the same as the 007 in terms of material, color, fading?

[jameslow23]

@jpark, do check out BiG's description of both the xx-012 and xx-007. They have the same description. They're done the same way, just different fit. xx-012 is the slim tapered fit while xx-007 is the slim straight fit.

Do you think this cuff is too much?

 

 

[playgfordisabled]

that cuff is pretty long.. maybe try a double? 

[rockon99]

It would help if we had a full fit pic as it helps display the proportions. A big cuff looks better on a really tall person as opposed to a shorter person. But also that looks perdyy big.

Anybody received the contest pair yet ?!

No contest pair and no shipping info! I'm getting a little disappointed with how the contest is being organized actually.

[Analoog]

I've recieved the tracking number, but Mahoto told me my pair could be stuck at the FedEx office as the're hit by a typhoon currently, as the shipping info wasn't updated since thursday.

If you haven't recieved a tracking number, I suggest you mailing Mahoto, as he mostly replies pretty quickly.

Yes, double cuff is the way is the way to go

I'd give them a little benefit of the doubt. Denimio is a small outfit and PBJ has never really done a contest like this. Considering it's just one or two people shipping out 200 pairs of jeans to different addresses, not to mention some needing to be hemmed, that's a lot to ask.

[Chubacca]

Thanks guys. Decided to take them back to the tailor to get another inch and some taken off. Sick of the double cuff because my current pair of flatheads are tripled cuffed

[thebottomclef]

I recommend the tailor measure out the jeans to the length they would be without any cuff and then add an inch, inch and a half to the length before cutting. That's what works for me anyways

[midnite9]

Is it too late to sign up for the contest 012s?

[jameslow23]

Try emailing Mahoto to ask. [email protected]

Is it too late to sign up for the contest 012s?

 

IIRC, Mahoto said jeans that were not paid for by the 10th would be put up for sale.

[stukovx]

w00t, got shipping confirmation. Perfect timing too, I just ate it on my motorcycle and scuffed up my 007s and made a hole on the outseam 

[JammySTB]

Likewise - mine are en route and should be here on Tuesday.

 

Also, a bunch of us on /r/rawdenim have decided we're going to tag all Instagram pictures of our contest jeans with #PBJGreenLeaf so we can all keep track of each other's progress there.  Those of you here who use Instagram should do the same!

[BukkakeKing]

Same here, will get them Tuesday if everything is alright !

In the Instagram stuff, that's pretty cool.

Take 5 X PBJ

 

2 years or maybe 3. I forget. Few washes in the beginning but then I just didn't care later on and washed when I felt like it.

Gotta get crotch fixed but man the slubbiness of PBJ is unreal.

[jpark]

does the denim shrink when its in the water or when its drying?

[playgfordisabled]

^both, but for the most part in (hot) water

[jpark]

 

 

Here's my new xx012. Sz. 31. Gave them a hot soak for about an hour.

 

Pretty satisfied but I wish the leg opening was a bit more tapered. Still too big for my liking even with the hot soak.

Pretty nice - get them fixed, they need more wear!

Got the same pair. It took 3 pairs for me figure out the right sizing.

I have put in some wear, but I have to get them hemmed now to a perfect length - the current length is annoying me and some retailers refuse to hem jeans to cm measurements or 1/2 inches...

[Analoog]

PBJ xx-012 contest is delivered! What a beauty of a pair! Did a quick soak, now waiting for them to dry. They did fit quite good pre-soak, hopefully they will stretch back to pre-soak measurements, as the knee was already a bit tight.

[JammySTB]

My contest pair is in!  As I worried, they are pretty damn tight in the legs pre-soak - in the knees, calf and some of the thigh.  The waist is a tad large, but I'm not worried since I can always wear a belt with them.  I'm giving them a fairly cold soak now and will have to only wash cold from here on in.  I think I'm gonna have some massive knee bags on this pair!

 

Here's some pictures(I put them under a spoiler in case you are waiting to see the details yourself in person before seeing pictures on the internet):

 

 

 

^ The patch has a faded pair of jeans instead of a normal pair and also includes the words "From Syoaiya with love" at the bottom.

 

^ I am contestant number 37!

 

 

 

I didn't take any pictures of the crazy slub - you all know what it looks like already!

[C100]

Does it look like a faded pair on the patch to everyone?

I think the man is dipping a pair in indigo inside out.

[B-Sandy]

That's what they were going for with the patch, just slight changes to the logo. They wanted to keep the same one but still make it a bit different. 

[C100]

Just read on reddit, it is a pair of faded jeans on the patch.

It's here it's here!

oh man, I miss dealing with PBJ's stretching. Just did a test fit and they are stupid tight/snug. This should be fun =)
