You all rule. I love these xx012 updates.

[Jonaz]

PBJ-012 contest pair...final wash. 4 washes maybe? 

 

[Artisandenim]

Thought those who appreciate PBJ would like to see some before and after pics of the indigo dyed polo. Purchased from Rivet & Hide a year or so ago and worn and washed one a week (approx) since.

 

Before:

 

 

Now:

 

 

 

 

Amazing quality garment. No loss of shape or damage of any kind. Still fits the same today as when new...

The polo is awesome (as is everything else on this page). Stopped by this thread to check out how well the indigo dyed tops age - that just answered my question. Time to add a long sleeved henley to the wish list.

even better in person fantastic polo.

My elbows on my PBJ Western shirt are about to have a massive blowout.  Everything else seems to be in pretty good condition and the shirt is still a deep indigo color.  I'm debating if I should repair the elbows before it becomes an issue. I'm kind of playing with the idea of beating the crap out of that shirt and rocking out any holes I get.

PBJ Western shirt

 

I purchased this from Foxy around May 2014.  7 washes.  Sized down and it fits very snug on me.  I did a repair darn and there is a hole forming at the elbow, but besides that the shirt is still in good condition.  I'm surprised that it's a slow fader because I wear it weekly with pretty good wears.  Anyways, I still like the shirt. I probably won't be repairing it and go for the more "worn-in/rocker" look.

Man, now I want a PBJ shirt. Both the polo and the western look pretty amazing.

 

Chubacca: Maybe patching the elbows with a different denim could look cool? Dunno though.

Any updates on the voting for finalists of the contest?

[cmboland]

Yeah check @denimio on Instagram. Mr MDsmith is a finalist.

After the 24oz last year it was expected

[Broark]

Well guys, I finally bit the bullet after a few years of swooning after a pair of XX-009's. Took advantage of BiG's sale today since I've struck out multiple times trying to find them in Japan.

Looking forward to something different as it'll be my first pair of indigo/indigo denim!

[Frost]

^I'm sure you'll love them Broark. The fabric is really something else, and Indigo/Indigo looks great. Hell, I've been wearing mine non-stop for a whole year and it's still a tough decision every morning whether I'll put on the PBJ or my new Denime...

[xchen]

judging by this page, I don't think you went wrong...

 

seriously one of the best pages for fades in recent memory.

[Broark]

I've been lusting after then for a good year at least, just couldn't convince myself that I really needed them (which I still know I don't...haha). I think the double indigo fabric will be a nice change of pace from all the normal denim I have.

I think the 009 cut was really the only one for me, everything else is a tad too slim.

[M3RK]

that western looks to small shouldn't have sized down & I bet the 5 would have looked to small on you also.

I'm 6"1 185 & I couldn't even lift my arms in the 4 but the 5 which is the largest size fits perfectly..

why would u size down in pbj is beyond me..

Hello! i want a pair of PBJ from Denimio but how does it work? do i get hit with customs or do i request soemthing specific?

[Geeman]

Getting hit by customs is hit and miss, just luck of the draw. I've ordered 3 times and not copped any extra.

[tigerstrom]

I've ordered 2 or 3 times from denimio and never got any extra charges. All the times they had marked the package as sample.

[Geeman]

On the flip side I just ordered something from rakuten for 28GBP and copped 20GBP customs..

[louisbosco]

YOU PAY 20QUID OF CUSTOM FEES FOR A PRODUCT THAT'S 28QUID?!?! that's like 70% if the product itself!!

[Geeman]

Yep 

Paid 28 for a Buzz Rickson watch cap plus shipping. UK customs charge me 20 for handling. ....

[Bobbo]

That's nuts mate. In Sweden there's no charge for stuff under 40 quid. 

[Geeman]

I actually get the package tomorrow so will be interesting to see if they have written anything on the package that may have bumped up the custom charge. 

[YouthPattern]

damn thats sad to hear man , thanks for your information!! will place my order later tonight.

[louisbosco]

that is such a rip off. in both places, i've lived in australia and singapore, there's no taxes or charges whatsoever for anything under 1k..

i feel sorry for your wallet and shopping overseas.

[Geeman]

It's luck of the draw mate. Ordered before and never got hit. They seem to be more alert around Christmas, must be trying to make more money from taxes. 

[M3RK]

I'm in the u.s no customs have ordered like 8 times from Denimio never a hitch.

got pbj indigo sweater on the way actually should be tomorrow:)

I did get an inquiry to pay like 40$ once from Rakuten on iron heart chambray but no one ask for any $ when I received package it was attached to it.

but my post office sees my face alot so they was prolly like forget about its the dude who buys everything from Japan lol:$
