Pure Blue Japan

[Kathrynnaomi]

Just ordered a PBJ indigo sweatshirt from Okayama denim. Anyone got any experience ordering from them? It's a beautiful looking sweat!

[Geeman]

Okayama can be a bit slow to respond to emails but you should have no issues with shipping etc. Their prices are higher than denimio.

I have the long sleeve tshirt and Henley from PBJ, great texture and wash well

[Kathrynnaomi]

Nice one Geeman, I'm looking forward to wearing a full PBJ suit!!

Get the xx-005 18oz this week from Okayama Denim (very fast delivery). I don't want to wait until a xx-003 18oz version so I decided to buy the xx-005 18oz and sized up one (to size 36) to have enough room in thigh and knee (I normaly wear regular cut). The fit is very comftable. They stretched out a lot after first day of wear. The denim is really awesome!! Very very slubby :-)

 

 

 

after initial soak (wash):

Very nice Oliverstone! This 18oz denim is ace, slubfest!

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Very good fit! And they still look slim for an up sized pair. Usually the 005 has some boot cut feel it...yours look perfectly straight

Cool belt I dig it

[skier]

Do you guys have any examples of good stacks on PBJs? I just got a pair of XX-013 but I can't seem to get them to stack neatly, they always seem to stick out to the side.

[Geeman]

It's their way of telling you to hem and cuff.. 

[tigerstrom]

What Geeman said!

[Niro]

double cuff for the win!

[Kathrynnaomi]

I have to say that the PBJ indigo sweatshirt is the NICEST sweatshirt I have ever owned! The indigo is just beautiful and the cut is really flattering! So happy with this ðŸ˜. Also ordering from Okayama was a breeze to the UK. Very impressed!

[Geeman]

 Yeah mines bang on as well

anyone can advise on pbj xx-012

my true waist is 31inches im comparing on okayama denim webstore, big & denimio

it seems like denimio tag size 30 one washed is 31.1

but okayama & big tag size 30 one washed = 30

anyone can advise me thanks

[Frost]

Here are the measurements of my pair of PBJ XX-012 (measurements taken after ~10 months, 5 washes or so) in a size 31:

 

W: 78cm / 30.7"

FR: 24.5cm / 9.6"

T: 26.5cm / 10.6"

K: 19cm / 7.5"

H: 17.5 / 6.9"

 

The front rise in this cut is low and the thighs are slim, so I would argue that you shouldn't buy a size 30 if your true waist is 31". My true waist is between a 29 and a 30, my legs are skinny, and my size 31 fit me perfectly (waist a little bit loose). I don't think I could wear a size 30 without tearing them to shreds in a week.

 

EDIT: Yes, the denim on the XX-012 stretches fairly easily, but still, I wouldn't size down.

Anyone know where I can snag a pair of size 30 Pure Blue Japan NC-011BK (preferably one wash) for close to the ¥23000 retail price ($200USD)? They're sold out on denimio. I emailed them and they said they have no scheduled date for a restock. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the find! I think those come out to $254 total. So, I don't mind that they're raw. Does anyone have any experience ordering from Cultizm? I don't want to incur any unforeseen duty fees or taxes.

[Geeman]

Where are you based, you would have risked import charges ordering from japan anyway?

[Frost]

Also, you can switch their website to US (I'm going to assume you are based there, since you want the price in USD), and the price is actually $281.64 PLUS delivery charges. You'll have to pay taxes/duties as well if you're not ordering from the EU unless you get lucky, I would think (since you always have to pay them and it has nothing to do with the shop itself).

[beautiful_FrEaK]

But usually they deduct the 19% VAT when you buy from outside the EU

[Oktobr]

I'm currently living in Okinawa, but I'll be back in California in a few weeks. How much do the duty fees usually come to? My girlfriend lives in London. I may just take the VAT tax with the free shipping to her and lick my wounds later...

 

Edit: I'm just going to order a 31 from okayama and hot soak them. NC should be able to handle a borderline scolding soak.

Patch has held up well over the years

[M1stral]

I decided to promote my PBJ's to work jeans, just a minute ago. Have these hanging in my closet for way to long. Like the overdye look a lot, but it just it hard to combine with my wardrobe. Guess when it had faded a bit, these babies are easier to combine.

Some love for the pbj xx-013 18oz. One-washed 1 month old

Does anyone have experience with AI-001? I did a quick search here but didn't find much. I certainly could have missed it... 

 

I'm interested because the denim and details look amazing, but the measurements are what really appeal to me - straight fit, slight taper, medium rise. My one concern is the warp cotton is dyed to the core, so it doesn't produce high contrast fades; rather it fades slowly and evenly.
