Pure Blue Jeans XX-005

[theetruscan]

does anyone know if bears offers a soaking service?

I believe Bears sells everything one wash. And the guy just above this should get his jeans hemmed a touch.

i love the tiny thing in the back pocket. is it one-wash or unwashed ?

[Franklin]

[Jujuland]

I have read through this thread a few times and I am still not too sure as to what size PBJ xx005 I should look into getting. I have a pair of SSDS in a 32 waist which have stretched to be too big and my friend let me try on his RRDS in a 31 which were a year old and never washed or soaked and they fit comfortable. I am torn between getting a 32 or even sizing up again to 33 due to hearing about how small the thigh areas are. I am looking for a slim fit to sag a little bit and be the perfect pair of jeans for Vans eras or authentics. Any help would be great thanks.

well, they are a slim/straight cut, so yeah, they will have a narrow upper-thigh. look at the BiG chart and buy whichever size will fit your thigh. they will stretch about .25 inch or so in the thigh area and +/- 1.5 inch in the waist.

Size up 1 or 2 from what you think you wear.

that is way to much, they will be too loose. imo, find the size that fits well in the upper-thigh area and work around that. i buy true to size in pbj (except for my 008's, which had some weird sizing issues), because i like a loose fit in the pbj's. so if you don't have a problem in the upper-thigh area in your true waist size measurement, get that one. it sounds like your a 32 so that would be what i would recommend.

Just wear em. I thought the inseam in mine was done shrinking for the most part after the one wash but now after two more washes they've shrank quite a bit more.

[ianpalermo]

These are the ones that started this thread. A year and half old. They haven't been worn for about 6 months, but I thought I would post a pic. The color is a little off, they are actually a little lighter. Will update with an outdoor picture once the weather breaks a little.

[beatle]

Sweet....what's the back look like ?

[sweetmofo]

nice ianpalermo, i'm curious about the back too.

[ianpalermo]

[jonle714]

how many soaks does it take to shrink them all the way?

[beatle]

1 good soak....really hot....

[SAY CAR RAMROD.]

quick question...i just got a pair off another member here, he said he did a overnight soak and everything has shrunk down to the BIG post-wash measurement chart (I mean almost exactly), except the waist. after wash, etc. do these usually shrink down to the post-wash measurement in the waist too?

oh yeah, and I assume that they won't shrink past the one-wash measurements, correct?

[bonjin]

Been reading this thread through now and although a lot of ppl obviously wear these (or at least have them in their possesion), there are unreasonably few pics w/ fades and wear. My pair have been shelved for a while since I wasn't too happy with the fit. My hip-to-thigh ratio is moderately fucked so even though the waist is good, they're not very skinny/slim on me. At the moment though, I'm starting to appreciate a more relaxed fit (which incidentally I think works better with my build) so I'm thinking about busting these out. The few pics w/ wear have been beautiful though.

[napoleon]

do these usually shrink down to the post-wash measurement in the waist too?

oh yeah, and I assume that they won't shrink past the one-wash measurements, correct?

Yes to both. The reason the waist ins't post wash anymore is because they were most likely worn after the soak/wash or at least tried on.

I like mine and wear them regularly but it's usually somewhere where I'm not doing much so they have zero wear and except for the creasing they still look like new. I spend most of my time in suits so outside of that I picked a pair of jeans to wear down long before I though of buying these and I'm not about to switch now. It has taken a year to see any fades on just one pair. I wouldn't be able to do two. But once they are nicely worn in I'll switch to the 005s.

yeh just pulled the trigger on these bad boys (lol)

first pair of japanese denim

My new black xx-005s. Thought I'd post fit pics because there aren't a whole lot in larger sizes.

size 33, I usually wear a 32 in most brands, 33 in skulls. I'm 6'1" and 185lbs

[champion666]

just got my first pair of xx-005 from BIG. so stoked on the way these look and feel. tried them on for like half an hour before I soaked them and totally forgot to take out my cellphone. so my phone was along for the ride in the first soak. good thing its time for another 2 year agreement from verizon. woops.

[tourstage_bapesta]

anyone know if the ones from Hinoya are raw or one-wash?

besides BiG which are all sold out, where could i get a pair of raw pbj xx-005?

[loste]

[braid]
