Pure Blue Japan

Thats your call, but they do need a hem. Hem them then you adjust the cuff to suit whatever footwear you have on

[renindra]

@atchong enak mz... lol, definitely keep it, totally suits your figure, looks fine on you

imo it needs hem, stack or cuff is personal preference, but I do prefer a few tidy-looking stacks, which never appeared on my jeans unfortunately...

[BrownMetallic]

@atchong: imo, u need to chose between stacking vs folding. Having both looks messy & leaves unsightly random creases, post multiple washes.

Personally, I go for a hem w/a slight break, ... & that, maybe, u can alternate w/ cuffing__ not only is it cleaner-looking, it also prevents premature fraying @creasefold ... ie, if u care for small deets like that

Thank you guys for the input!. One more thing, is it better to stack it, small cuff but hem first until there's no stack left, or small cuff and stack? 

i think a hem that allows a .5" cuff with little to no break on a low-top Converse would look good with those jeans.

is it me or did pbj measurements went slimmer? i recently bought another pair on my trip to japan and got the same size 29 in their 005 18pz cut, which iirc is wider than the 007 slightly, but they do fit a little more snug than my 007..

[cmboland]

Now i want a pair of xx012 badly.

[M3RK]

I got a feeling they will be releasing the deep indigo 15.5 oz I believe in near future..

that I'm assuming will be the name ks-012 same fabric as ks-013(aka variegated;) possibly only an oz. less or very similar fabric will have a much tougher feel to it & vertical fades but isn't part of the normal xx series.

[Chubacca]

I asked Denimio when PBJ will release the 18oz in different cuts and they said there is no time table at the moment.

[vgadjo]

Type: XX-005

Worn for: almost 6 years, probably 16-18 months of actual wear

Washes: 10-11, first one around 6 months

 

Spring update.

 

Performed a few other repairs in the crotch area. The creases begin ripping, the thighs area shows some fabrics weaknesses, the pocket threads have been unraveling for a while. But I really like the texture of this denim.

one question, will pbj stretch a lot?

[Chubacca]

I've had the x15, which didn't seem to stretch at all at the thigh or knee.  I have the PBJXPronto 18oz collab and it seems to have stretch at the thigh and knee by half an inch.  

[chicote]

The waist on my xx-009 stretches about 1.5 inches out of the wash. Knee bags get big quickly as well. I'd say it's a stretchy denim relative to the other jeans I have.

Does Pure Blue Japan made Purple Face in their regular fit?  I love Purple Face, but would prefer to not have a slim jean. Relaxed straight tends to work best for me.

Not to date. The only variance from the 14 oz signature indigo denim in a the x003 regular fit is the x009 which is double indigo.

Danny, what about the AI -003?

Maybe check out the measurements on the XX-010 Purple Face.  I personally do not think these are very slim.  It may depend on your size.  For example the hem measurement on the size 36 is 8.9 to 9 inches.  I wouldn't consider that slim.  I have the raw slim taper XX-014 in a size 36 and the denim is awesome.

 Good point. I was just thinking of other options with a dyed weft

AI-003 is slim tapered like xx-011/12/13, believe you're thinking of the AI-001 for regular straight or AI-002 for slim straight.

[thebottomclef]

I had a feeling that was the case. Either way though

[Chubacca]

Update from PBJ Double Indigo workshirt purchased from Foxy.  I'm finally getting some evo's, but it's always been a 1/2 too small.  This guy has been on some adventures and taking some beatings.

 

Repair, retire, or rock out?

Don't think I could ever manage to wear a shirt that was that tight around my arms!

I think the XX-010 might end up working out.  I might give it a shot. Thanks.

Yeah, cut off the sleeves at the armholes and wear it open over a wifebeater.

[Foxy2]

Keep going - as long as you don't blame me...

[M3RK]

damn u did a number on that mine still look pristine & have worn it a lot.

wonder if it is the same material as they used in the fake pullover style as the western. mine seems thinner & brighter shade of blue than this.

[edmond]

Pbj ai oo1 for sale old model hit me up raw brand new

[thebottomclef]

Chubacca, get that shit patched and keep going for sure man looks good

[louisbosco]

picked up another pair of pbj in japan in jan. 18oz 005 cut. felt that they slimmed their cuts a little compared to the old 005. love the slubbiness of pbj's denim. really reminded me of my old 007-24oz. although that wasn't too slubby. well these go into storage for now..
