Pure Blue Jeans XX-005

[horriblyjollyjinx]

you get the slight bootcut look because there is more slack around the ankle than around the knee and thighs, thus the denim takes a different shape that is less of a circle shape, seen from above. the jeans will look different from different angles because of this, from some they will look like bootcut, from another angle they can look like they taper.

not a very good explanation, and certainly not optimal wording but I can't find the right words :eek:

anyway, this is a big part of the reason why I like a tapered fit.

all this would be solved if we wore rubber tubes around our legs.

Thanks for clearing that up TIP, considering a new pair of jeans and was actually debating Skulls over NS, but with this information NS seems to be the choice!

[tweeds]

you should pop over to the skull thread and have a read...you might reconsider that

miz - what were you saying about the shrinking leg opening, in that case? i think i misunderstood you...

[viv1984viv]

TIP- I think miz was saying how the combs "pinch" the sillouette in and because the hem just flops about or flattens itself on ones shoes the slight bootcut effect is created and this is more apparent on slimmer cuts. Its ironic that to achieve the look of a straight leg you actually need a tapered leg cut.

my sc40500 look slimmer than my s5000bk even though the latter is actually a slimmer cut, the sammies tend to flatten themselves against my shins and what with the stack of fabric this can look less than slim, however my canes legs follow the profile of my foot creating a slimmer sillouette when stood square in front of a mirror.

I remember, albeit vaguely, synthi mentioned to me about how union special chainstitch would use a non shiny unsanforised thread that would get tighter when washed, I guess this might have a ever so slight effect on the hem, however im unsure about this so dont take it too seriously, just a half educated guess at what miz was saying.

on the BiG website, they say a size 28 PBJ measures 30.5 inches in the waist, so if my natural waist is size 29, and i like a size 30 jeans (wear 30 in nudies) would a 28 be right in these? cause from what i've read it sounds like i should get my true size, which is a 30...so confusing :/

^^^ forgot to mention, i'm talking about the xx-005 model

If i remember correctly, the sizes on BiG are pre-wash. They will shrink to tag size eg 28 will shrink to 28.

hrm, do most people soak these jeans when they get them? would you recommend soaking? i like to avoid it to get the best fades etc...

False. Soak them, because eventually you ARE going to wash them and it would suck to have all the wear shift and look crooked when you're wearing them. Absolutely soak them in hot water. It won't adversely affect future fading.

awesome, thnx for the info...now just to figure out where/how to buy these :/ oh how i want my friend to return from japan to help me through rakuten!

I just HAD to post these.. probably the nicest pair of PBJs (or jeans!) Ive ever seen... beautiful... XX-006

[headtowall]

Posting these here because I didn't want to clutter up Evolution.

XX-005 washed once at around 7 months.

[headtowall]

Haha, yes. Not as many as my New Standards, which have seen Gorilla Biscuits and Cro-mags, but some.

[mizanation]

nice head2wall!

[ninjapie]

Perhaps I've misread, but there aren't any stores around Osaka whom carry these jeans?

[headtowall]

nice head2wall!

Thanks. You still haven't posted pics of yours. Three washes, right?

[M.O.A]

yeah, you really should.

[hollaforadolla]

phew. just went through all 26 pages. there was one mention of pbj waist fit vs dior 19cm but no answer. i guess this one is for you kixself.

how is the fit of the 005 vs the diors? I wear 27 in diors as they stretched out to about a 30inch waist now. which fits fine. does that mean i should get 30 in the 005s? or is that too drastic?

i was thinking 28s until i realized they would be 14 across which is a tad bit tight. should i go with 29s then?

thanks.

[M.O.A]

i bought the same size for both. PBJ's run true to size

[hollaforadolla]

did you get alot of stretching on the pbjs post soak?

[zehero]

my 28s are at 30 after a week of wear.

[hollaforadolla]

30 inch? right on. looks like 28 is the right size for me.

i believe pure-blue is based in osaka, in fact...this is either right or wrong. this statement has got more truth than it sounds like it does.

i just got my pair of 31's in the mail today from a fellow supertalker and i chilled with them in the tub in hot/warm water and it shrank quite a bit, the fellow supertalker really stretched them out. my question is should i just wear them as they are "fitted, ok at the waist, perfect everywhere else" or should i resoak them in hot water for alonger time to shrink them like crazy then wear them for months on end
