Pure Blue Jeans XX-005

[Guest winq]

Winq-

Can't speak to your comfort level of course, but they don't look outrageously tight.

After a bit of stretch how do you think you'll feel?

I can barely walk in them fully buttoned up. As much as I want to keep them, I don't think they'll stretch to the point of them being comfortable or flattering.

Out of curiosity, how much shrinking is expected in the thighs on the XX-005? The prewash rating on the size 34 is 26" raw in the upper thigh. I'm looking for around 24" on a size 32 or 33, post wash. You guys think thats doable, or not gonna happen? Unfortunately, BiG doesn't have prewash measurements for size 32 or 33.

Size 32 Raw:

Waist – 34”

Front Rise – 10”

Back Rise – 14”

Upper Thigh – 24”

Knee – 17.5”

Hem – 17.5”

Inseam – 36”

Size 32 POST-soak:

Waist – 32”

Front Rise – 9.5”

Back Rise – 13.5”

Upper Thigh – 22”

Knee – 17”

Hem – 17”

Inseam – 33”

Thanks. Don't think I'll be trying

question about sizing again, i'm 5"7 and 121 pound. i think XX-005 quite similar to Nudie SSK with a bit higher rise than SSK. i'm wearing 29 SSK so what size should i go for One Wash XX-005?

[Guest engteach]

I don't think they 005s are very similar to the SSK; I'd say they are more like Slim JIm.

Does anybody have the XX-003? How do they fit compared to Nudie Straight Sven's? I'm looking to get some nice Japanese denim and I think I either want PBJ or Samurai. I currently wear APC rescues and the Nudie SS. The rescues are waaay to big for me now, and the SS are a 36 and fit really nice. I was looking for something that fit like the SS or in between the rescues and the SS. Obviously I'm too big to pull off "skinny" jeans (like the 005), so any recommendations? would 003s work?

[bitsquid]

curious.. i was just about to ask the very same question (svens or sda 103s)

This is the third time you asked this question about a line and requesting more info. Use the damn search button or check the sticky at the top of the page. TIP put a lot of effort into that; don't dumb down the site with your laziness.

[tweeds]

unless you have contacts in the japanese denim industry, and you can already speak japanese, and you are in japan and can go down to their offices, getting a hold of a company like Pure-Blue Japan is quite impossible.

i mean, they don't even have an official website do they?

[Chicken]

I think their official company name is Syouaiya (正藍屋). It might help you with your search. It might not.

[tweeds]

although that should be pure-blue house rather than pure-blue japan. i would buy jeans from a pure-blue house.

[Chicken]

knowledge, tip.

foreign language is complicating.

[tweeds]

yeah, definitely. i just read the kanji like i would read chinese, haha.

on a related note, anyone know if their offices are in tokyo or osaka? coldrice?

[Chicken]

i think it's a small shop in harajuku, or somewhere very close to it. but i'm sure coldrice can confirm.

[poly800rock]

yeah, its a shop up some stairs on a a street in harajuku. i was lost trying to find the visvim shop when i stumbled upon it...

[Carl]

A small tease for mikey...

Not quite 4 months, worn everyday, bought on the same day as Pacioli. Hell, we even shared a dressing room (straight no homo!).

[beatle]

Man, these really are coming along fast...Congrats, all of u..

[M.O.A]

oh my god, that is amazing. cant wait to see in dec

[wild_whiskey]

fuck, I just creamed my pants. you can apologize to my disappointed girl for me, Carl. your fault for posting those pictures.

[pennyoka]

anybody want to answer my question of page 14?...please?

[PG2G]

You wearing those xx-003 at all, or have they gotten shelved?

And Carl, those looks great.

[Chicken]

they should work for you if all the other standard cuts work for you. however, if you're going xx-003, you might also consider the onis. you should be able to find these info around here if you search. but let's try to keep this thread about xx-005s.

nice fade, carl. nice fade.

[pacioli]

Great progress Carl. Don't you love how the slubs are popping up and fading differently from the surrounding threads.

Ah so that Carl was you! Were you rocking imperials? for the record at no point were we in the dressing room at the same time...sorry wild whisky

[Carl]

No, i was the guy in shorts.

I don't think the guy with the imperials posts much.

[pacioli]

The area behind my knees aren't very abraided like yrs. Do you bike-ride a lot? in fact the honeycomb area on mine are much less faded than the whiskers/knee area. Whatever you're doing it's working.

If anyone's interested here's an updated pic on this hole formation on left inseam near ankle. That smaller scrape to the left is turning into a hole too.

Im not doing anything special. I think its just wearing them everyday for 12 hours plus.

My job also involves lots of walking, running, moving around, and the like.

[wild style]

Carl, is the crotch on yours starting to rip?

[Carl]

Carl, is the crotch on yours starting to rip?

Beggining to, yeah.

Which sucks. Ill probably have to get it repaired at some point. Its not so bad right now but i can for see a major blow out if i dont wash them within the next few months.
