Agree with the other's. And yes, if PBJ ever came out with a decent cut (enough rise, thigh space without enormous leg opening) I'll get one.

[Chubacca]

Thanks so much guys

I think I've been in that exact boot store when I was in Nashville in 2013

Looks like a great fit, all they need is a hem!  Nice job getting your hands on that Pronto collab.

^If you're planning to keep them 'til their very end, XX007 denim has residual shrinkage waaaay down the line. Take5 dint have my size, so i ended up SU1. 'Thought the waist was a bit loose, as well, but after 7yrs, i'm glad i dint go TTS.

XX007 @7 y/o= around 20mos of effective wear

Taken inside= available light

Taken outside ***indirect light= in the shade

I remember picking up an almost new pair of xx007 from you on styleforum years ago. Unfortunately i sold them off to a buddy but i do miss them!

Hand-darned a hole in my crotch last night!

Recent repair job from Detroit Denim on my PBJ Western shirt.  This shirt is starting to really develop a year in and will probably do a wash and pictures soon.

Some images from my Contest PBJ xx-012's. 8 months, 2 cold soaks, 0 washes.

Anybody know which of the fits has the lower rise: xx-005 or xx-013? Most websites give measurements that indicate that the 005 OW has a lower rise than the 013 OW, but Blue In Green say they designed the 013 to have a lower rise than 005...

PBJ contest jeans at ~9ish months. Two hot soaks and one machine wash. I haven't been wearing super consistently lately - I made the mistake of buying some Momotaro 0305-18s so I'm struggling to keep these as my everyday jeans. They're also deteriorating pretty rapidly, so I may call them done before the full year is up. Images were taken in very bright sunlight, color is pretty accurate. I'm going to repair all of the crotch damage today. 

 

 

I've blown a pretty sizable hole in the knee in the last couple weeks

If they were 30's, they probably wouldn't be for sale!

 

I'm selling them because I started really lifting and I joined my school's crew team, so my quads have grown passed the point of fitting into these. It's such a shame.

you mind posting up some pics of that momo's in the momo thread?  interested in grabbing those too but i haven't seen pictures online..

[Wörn75]

^ Damn those are some really nice PBJ's @MDSsmith

 

I really dig how that shadow selvedge wears.

[MDSsmith]

Sure! They've only seen a couple days of solid wear at the moment but I can put up some fit pics.

[DvsForest]

005

 

4++ years

uncountable soaks, washes, and loves.

 

 

 

[Jonaz]

Not much PBJ love these days.

 

XX-005 with around 6 months of effective wear. The sun makes the contrast more pronounced.

^ Those look great Jonaz!

 

What belt is that? Really nice.

It was a kickstarter project from Kendall & Hyde.

[DhaDha]

yeah you'd think with all the new fabric and cut coming out, they'd enjoy more limelight. maybe it's just here though, what's with a more vintage denim enjoying a resurgence in popularity again. 

 

here's my pbjxpronto dec05 (xx-012). i wore them to 240 wears/8 months a few months back but been putting off posting them. since we are now doing the DWC thing they are now retired. they have had 3 soaks and 3 washes. i foresee some days though when i will wear them again. can't stand to just retire them and not wear them to shred.

I saw while back on the Japanese site of PBJ a new release of a pair of black-coated denim that fades differently from the traditional black denim. Long story short, I did not buy any pair at the time and they seem to be sold out in Japan but does anyone knows a stockist where one might buy a pair outside of Japan?

Are you referring to the NC-011 slim tapered jean that is dyed with indantherene? It will fade showing up different tones of black without fading out to grey: http://rivetandhide.com/brands/pure-blue-japan/pbj-nc-011-slim-tapered-black-jean.html

^ would you have evo photos of this? Never get tired of seeing documented wear on black pairs.

 

I'm still waiting on a run of those NCs in the 05 (or even 07) cut. Something later this year was the feedback from PBJ.

[DhaDha]

I do have a pair of nc-11bk with a few months and washes in. If you want to see I'll post them tomorrow. Never thought anyone'd be interested in seeing them worn in since like the name implies, they don't fade.

[mikkadehachikai]

Thanks for the info but I think it might a different product. They called it BCKT-13. Or is it the same?

Evo pictures were posted on the PBJ website at the launch of the product. I could not believe a year has passed since it appeared. I was thinking it was like 3 or 4 months ago.

012 Contest Jeans:

Yes this is a different jean. Not heard of any plans to remake this one yet

[tion4->]

Probably an ignorant question, but can someone breakdown the difference between 011, 012, 013? Are they simply denim variations or cut as well? More or less a tapered version of 005/007?
