Pure Blue Jeans XX-005

[holeinthewall]

jeans without inseam choices are annoying.

[PG2G]

Only when they are too short.

[jooky]

I'm thinking about picking up a pair of PBJs, but I'm a bit torn - I don't know whether I should get the 003s or the 005s. Right now I have a pair of Calis and Slim Jims, both 30x34, and was looking for something that was maybe a bit fuller cut.

I was originally thinking about getting a pair of 003s in a sz30, but now I am considering getting a pair of 005s and sizing up to a 31. I'm just a bit worried that the 005s might have a similar silhouette to my other jeans. Opinions?

[braid]

For documentation, here are my XX-005's. For reference I'm 6', 160 lbs, jeans are size 30 soaked once in cold water for 30 minutes. I really like them, they're a little lower rise then I'm used to but offer nice variety to my collection. I can't really see breaking these in from constant wear since they look almost distressed from the extreme slubby texture.

[PG2G]

they look great

[poly800rock]

yeah, you could be a run way model for pbj. i really think those are the perfect description of how jeans in general should be worn by everyone.

Hey braidkid, very nice fit.

They actually fade very nicely. When the sunlight hits the jeans at the right angles those highs and lows really pop out. Contrast between the unfaded portions and the faded portions is stunning. The extreme slubs make for some very interesting vertical fade.

I believe it is Miz who says, You won't be disappointed.

Edit: Scanned the whole thread and he said nothing of the sort. I'll say it: You won't be disappointed.

[mizanation]

cosign, you won't be disappointed.

i'm wearing my 005's right now for the first time in a couple weeks. the fit is just unbeatable. the duckdiggers are nice, but i have to say my pbj's are still my favorite...at least in terms of fit.

I retract my "traitor" accusation.

[wild_whiskey]

1 soak and 0 washes

4 months (and counting)

3 rainstorms

1 camping trip

2 lap dances (and counting?)

1 spilled beer

1 bar fight

hard wear

These are my PBJ xx005’s.

This NEEDS to be quoted. Holy mother of denim boners.

thanks, headtowall.

[pacioli]

For a while I thought nobody cared.

[xcoldricex]

haha so that's how you get lap fades.....

"honey, it's for the denim not me"

[PG2G]

not entirely relevant to this thread, but i figured the same people reading this would be interested. I've been wearing my AI more recently, but not enough to get much fading (there are color differences, but the camera didn't really pick them up). What I have noticed is an obvious visible difference in texture between worn and unworn areas. See the pic. I think these things will look freaking crazy (not sure if it'll be in a good or bad way though, haha) once they get really broken in.

Anyway, thinking of picking up a pair of XX-005 to go along with these bad boys, since i'm getting the feeling the two will fade completely differently.

[wild_whiskey]

PG2G, your denim has the chicken pox

[pacioli]

"honey, it's for the denim not me"

lol.

Don't want to know what you think about my back pocket fades.

@PG2G- dude how come your jeans have those pock mark/craters?

[PG2G]

Now you guys know why the ai-001 is the undisputed champion of slub. the lighting in the pic does accentuate it though.

[mizanation]

yeah, the ai-001 is a monster.

[sidneylo]

Wowwy mcwowwy. I really am starting to like these pbjs

If there was ever a time for a drool smiley, this would be it.

[andrewfuncrew]

does anyone know where i could find these online aside from BiG? im looking for a 32, and they only have a 31. do you think that theyd be too small? i wear a 32x32 usually

nick, you know my build

im sure a 31 would fit fine in your legs i dont know where your waist is at these days

Keep it up, PG2G. You're miles away as to distressing the Ai's compared to mine. I'm on my Oni's and the PBJ's don't get much time. They're really hard to break in.

[cord]

are the leg openings of the xx-005's larger than the new standards?

[tweeds]

unfortunately this is too true :s

the next time someone tells me to measure my waist i shall hit them over the head with a pair of (hypothetical) rock hard sammies

[386]

are the leg openings of the xx-005's larger than the new standards?

yes, maybe an inch or so when comparing a NS size 27 to XX-005 in 30.

[eddy8]

Hey 386, how much did your size 30's stretch out in the waist and thigh?? Size 31 sounds perfect for me post soak but I don't know how much stretching to anticipate for. I wear a 27 in NS also and the thighs are right around 10" and waist 15.5". That's wearing them pretty antifit though and I figure the rise will be shorter....Thanks

[386]

I'd say the waist doesn't stretch so much and the thighs a little bit, maybe a half inch or so.

[Guest winq]

Here are some shameless pics of me in sz 28 xx-005s, sized down from 30. Definitely need a 29.

[viv1984viv]

i have the new standards (worn and washed) and pbj-005 one wash both in a 31, the leg opening is exactly the same on both, thats where the similarity ends tho.

[ardeetee]

looking great pac, still want to get a pair myself

[sam113]

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?
