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?

 

The 011 , 012 and 013 are all slim tapered fits in the following denim respectively: indigo warp/grey weft and left hand twill/indigo warp and indigo weft/signature indigo denim with un-dyed weft.

 

The X005 and X007 are slim straight fits with a wider leg opening to the slim tapered fit. The former uses the same denim as the X013, the latter the same as the X012.

Thanks mate, appreciate it. I noticed some variation in measurements on BiG, thought there might be a subtle cut difference too.

There will always be some slight variation when different fabrics are used in the same pattern but they are all basically the slim tapered fit.

Just washed my contest 012 after a weekend of camping and riding logs down the river....

Just got photoshop elements recently and wanted to do pre wash/post wash photos. ENJOY!

So when is there like an official check in for the contest pairs? I'm the type where I don't like to show off my work unless I myself think its up to par. 

[MDSsmith]

Contest Jeans have been officially relegated to "Workshop and Bike ride" Jeans, so I'm expecting much more damage and a higher frequency of washes. Here they are after the last shop day:

 

 

 

I had to machine wash them twice to get all of the grease out!

[Mackness]

Those are soooo cool

Looks like Rivet and Hide have got another collaboration incoming, PBJ 24OZ grey weft in the X013 / 11 cut. Looking forward to seeing these

wow. has  24oz in the 011 fabric ever been done?  any chance other (say, US) stockiest like BiG see some of this action?

[Geeman]

I've never seen the 24 in this cut anywhere else. It's a collaboration exclusive to Rivet and Hide so won't be available elsewhere. They ship international.

Leaf is still discernible.

Opting on a "stealth leaf" = pull threads, once it gets too degraded.

[Geeman]

Anyone have advice on the shrinkage for the  24oz denim?

[louisbosco]

in hottest tap, about 1.5 to 2 inches

[Geeman]

I knew LB would know!How's the stretch and what can I expect in the leg length and width?

[louisbosco]

for my 24oz pbjs it was about 2%-4% overall shrinkage. even for my other 24ozers in other brands as well. i dont really have leg measurements though. but stretch wise, probably about 1-1.5in back out.

[Geeman]

Cheers dude

Back pocket evo on fades to come with Pronto X PBJ Collab.  2 months

 

 

[Geeman]

^^ You got the gold/brown weft one? Saw it whilst in Pronto earlier this year. You there for the denim carnival in November? 

Preordered ordered my 24oz PBJ today.

[Chubacca]

I have the orange/rust weft.  Nice job on the 24oz, LouisBoscos were my favorite of HWDC2

I don't know if it helps you out at all but here are my pictures of before and then after soak.  I didn't take actual measurements, though.  It basically went from everything feeling about 1 size too big to perfect.

PBJ 012 Contest pair. 1 wash. I got them 1 month after the contest started, so progress isn't as great as others

^Still looking great midnite9, and it looks like they've held up pretty well, so you can enjoy them for a long time to come. IMO the XX-012 react amazingly to washing and get better each time they come out of the machine.

[Raoul Duke]

Got the XX-013-18 in today.  Nice looking denim, but too small in the thigh for me.  If anyone is interested in a size 34 [sold out from OD], let me know.
