Pure Blue Japan

[djatone]

Does anyone here have any experience with these [NC-011](http://www.denimio.com/pure-blue-japan-nc-011bk-slim-tapered-black.html)? Not seeing a whole lot of talk on this forum about PBJ's black denim, would really love to see some fit or fade pictures before I pull the trigger on these. My 007 were my favorite denim, but the cut was too tight for my legs to keep them in rotation. Looking for my first pair of black and the 011 sounds like a better cut for me, just wanna have feed back on how they look and wear.

The 007 cut is slim straight while the 011 cut is slim tapered. The 011 cut is suppose to be tighter than the 007 cut.

The NC denim means no change. They don't fade so it might not be what you're looking for.

Got this sweet package this morning from Danny at Rivet and Hide. Only two days shipped from London to the U.S. so insane! Pure Blue Japan Deep Indigo Jacket in a Medium. Fit is spot on! A little snug across the back, but that'll break in a bit.

[Danny @ Rivet & Hide]

Glad you're happy with the jacket, Ecsong.

 

We just restocked this jacket, the long sleeve indigo tees, and X012 jeans from PBJ.

[Geeman]

Still no news on the X013 Danny?

[shredwin_206]

Fit pic for anyone interested. Definitely a slimmer cut denim jacket which is what I was looking for. Very happy with how it fits.

I have a pair, if you want something to fade this is not for you. they don't fade, at least not in the way indigo or black sulphur dyestuff do. Also, if 007 cut is too tight for you then  011 cut also isn't for you. Maybe try samurai for good fading black denim?

Wanted to share my 2.5 year old XX0013's. Unsure of how many washes or soaks. 

 

 

 

They have been hemmed and a slight taper has been added. 

[B-Sandy]

Took a few progress pics of my contest pair. 2 weeks of wear. These things fade stupidly fast.

 

 

And a couple more fit pics

Jesus what are you doing in those suckers. Mine are only just starting to show color. Although I agree they are fading quick.

[Ceffyl]

Just ordered a pair of XX-012 contest jeans, size 29. Do I need another pair of jeans? No. But that green leaf... I couldn't help myself.

[DhaDha]

here's my xx-012 equiv. after 210 wears (7 months). just gave them second wash. this will be my last update in a while as i have few other pairs to work on and so i relegate these to secondary rotation. 

excuse the quality of photographs as i only have iPhone at the moment. 

 

too bad i already have these, otherwise i would have been tempted to enter the Denimio competition. anyway good luck to all contestants, and may the best fade win!

Hey guys, I've been looking at sizing charts for PBJ, it seems theyre all different depending on websites like BiG, rakuten, dutildenim and Denimio... Which size charts do you guys use when ordering from online?

Blue In Green. Always.

[SuperJackle]

^this.

[Artisandenim]

Bigs measurements are reliable, rivet & hides measurements are reliable.

More reliable still is to contact the store you intend to order from and ask them to measure the jeans they will send you - after all each pair is different.

Any good retailer will happily do this.

Anyone here who has experience with both put xx012 and samurai 710xx. I wear sz32 in samurai but I want something with smaller knee and legopening. Do you think I can buy sz32 in the pbj?

I wear both, have a size 36 in the 12s and a 34 in the 710 OG. Went TTS with the 12s and sized down 1 with the 710s. Doing this the 12s were a fair bit slimmer than the 710s. But for you, unless your 710s are on the looser side, getting the same size in the 12s might give you some trouble. I tried wearing a sz 34 in the 12s but they were way too small.

Thank you for the help! Sounds like I need to go up a size of two. My 710s are a little loose though.

If they're a little loose I might only size up 1. My 710s are on the slim side. Best thing to do is just compare size charts to a pair you already have. With the pbjs, the waist will stretch back out up to 1 inch past raw measurements. And the thigh will stretch back close to the raw measurements. Everything else won't stretch. 

 

I actually have a pair of sz 34 for sale in my marketplace thread. If you want to take a look at those you can see just how far they can possibly stretch.

Progress shots on my XX-005s. Had worn them for about a month then stopped because the contest jeans came in. I've sized them both in the same size (Size 33) but evidently, the contest pair is much slimmer.

 

 

 

 

Progress shots on the contest jeans. about 2 weeks of wear. (First pic is more true to actual colour)

They're sized pretty tight hence the crotch fading more than everywhere else. Crotch rip is imminent.

Quick Q.

 

I'm looking for a mid rise pair of jeans that will accommodate my fat thighs but still have a fairly narrow leg opening. Narrower than my Momo 0201s. 

 

Would the XX-013 be an option? Thanks in advance. 

[Max Power]

Just checked out the cut...Looks like what you're after. I'd fit in those, looking at the R&H measurements. might be a good Option for the DWC.

[Crat]

DWC?

[tigerstrom]

DWC?
