Panda I have a pair of xx005 which I've worn maybe 6 months - a year but pretty lightly and the same is happening, holes everywhere, stitching breaking all over etc.

In fact I just washed them gently today (pics to follow) as they were a bit too dirty for my liking and they seem to have a tar/oil/bike grease (probably the latter) stain, anyone got a recommendation of how to get this out or lessen it a bit without losing too much indigo at the same time?

So on my last trip to NY I finally decided to grab a pair of PBJ xx007's (W32). I have been lusting after them for some time and made the decision to grab them while I could try them on in person. Thanks to Gordon and the BIG staff, I was able to do so right before they closed so I could avoid the crowded nature of the store.

Wrapped and ready to take home...

The Measurements...

Pre-Soak:

Waist - 34.5"

Inseam - 37"

Front Rise - 10.5"

Back Rise - 14"

Thigh - 11.75"

Knee - 8.75"

Leg Opening - 8.75"

Post-Soak:

Waist - 33.5"

Inseam - 35.5"

Front Rise - 9.75"

Back Rise - 13.5"

Thigh - 10.75"

Knee - 8.5"

Leg Opening - 8.5"

I am looking to do another soak to get the waist down another 1 or 1.5 inches... I am just afraid of the thighs, they are tight.

On the topic of shrinking raw PBJs, how much can you realistically shrink a pair of XX-005s? I got some tagged size 30s today which were listed as raw and hot-washed once, but the waist was over 2 inches bigger than listed, just over 33". I need to lose at least an inch, preferably pretty permanently. Will this be possible if they've already been soaked once?

They're just over 33" AFTER a hot wash? Odd.

Hot soaked, or so I'm told, because they're the raw version. I don't know any more details than that, no idea how long or hot etc. I should probably ask the seller, but I think he might have bought them after another original owner had done the soak.

anyone else excited for the xx-12s? I just got a pair of 11's and love the fit but want the denim from my old 007's. Now I can have both!

Any update on the xx-12s? I'm really hoping these get made/released soon.
