Gave my contest pair their first real wash a couple days back. About 100 days of wear so far.

how are you guys sizing in the 009 compared to other brands?

Where'd you find stock of the XX-009?

Been on the hunt for awhile now.

I'm planning on going TTS most likely.

I think I read denimio is getting a restock soon

[Broark]

They were originally scheduled for a restock at the beginning of January but now I think it got pushed back to May.

So I realized I need my 007's because I can't spread my legs wide enough to ride my motorcycle with my skinny 012s. Just gave them a wash because the front leg area was literally turning black/brown from all the dirt/grease/oil/food/jizz/etc. This is the first time I threw them into a washing machine and just let it rip (had been hand washing/soaking before). So clean! Taking them to Denim Doctors this week to have to reinforce the crotch and an inseam rip from falling off my bike a while back. Looks like these are seeing a couple more years =)

I've never understood soaks. When I first was into raw denim I tried it and once they dried I put them on and it felt just as dirty, but now also crunchy. Washing machine from there on out.

 

Looks great though dude!

A soak is a way for the jeans to see water without affecting the indigo as much. Ive found it keeps the cotton stronger while also stiffening the denim a little, which helps with the creasing/whiskering etc

My new long sleve t-shirt.

Love the texture in this shirt.

Just wanted to post an update of my 007s before a wash & repairs.

 

 

 

 

[louisbosco]

last few updates. this might be the second last update for this comp i guess.

so here goes nothing. PBJ 007-24oz approx. 20-21 months of wear.

 

[Wörn75]

^ Nice Louisbosco!   I dig how gnarly the texture is on those monster 24oz'ers.

[louisbosco]

thanks worm. cheers!

[Noirkw]

anyone with the 020s could chime in on the texture/ fades?

[forget it]

does anyone have any info on this?

Just what I need. Another mind-blowing denim to lust after.

Amazing fades and I think one of the best in the competition

[waxedandriveted]

that stretch is going to be crucial for those who want a skinny cut and PBJ. the XX-013 and its variations have a narrow leg opening, but also are tight in the thighs. people realize quickly they are pretty straight in-the-denim, and it disappoints some who come from APC and nudie and want a super skinny cut. Now, one can size down a bit and it won't hurt, risk excessive shrinkage, or put undue stress on the front pocket bags.

[chantheman]

anyone know where you can buy PBJ's in Osaka?

[JammySTB]

Small update on my contest 012s at 5 months & 5 washes:

 

[iamsuperflush]

Does anyone know if PBJ will restock or produce more of the Type II Deep Indigo Jacket in medium? I only found Rivet and hide, which has every size except for medium.

As I answered in our thread no plans right now.

http://www.denimio.com/pure-blue-japan-xx-18oz-015-18oz-cigarette-slim-4448.html anyone have the measurements of these? Seriously so tempting

[cool_hand]

Anyone here care to comment on the AI-001's?

 

Do the jeans justify their price ($685)?

[Sigur Rós]

Imo yes. If you can commit to one pair for atleast a year and not buy anything else. But really it's just bells and whistles past the $300 mark.

[Foxy2]

You get the workmanship from PJB and a truly unique denim (very similar to equally high priced Oni and some older KMW's) dyed in natural indigo. It doesn't get much better...

But, you have to figure out which cut and size works best for you.
