i like them very much, that whole slubby denim thing from pbj hasn't convinced me yet judging from the photos i have seen, but i like these a lot

[Klaas]

Yes, this one is very nice. Will be the next jeans I'm gonna buy when I'm finished with my canes and lvc.

I really like the fading.

well, the 006 is not really slubby. they're designed to give you the most beautiful wear--as seen in those pics. those pics, btw, are a pair that was actually worn by someone for one year--no washing. they have that pair in the store, and they are amazing!

yeah, i tried these on at BIG and was very impressed. i ended up with sammies, but came very close to getting these also. not slubby at all. i really like the texture of the denim. they fit very similar to the xx-003s. so, they aren't as slim as the xx005's.

i know, i think you didn't understand clearly what i said.

since the slubby denim from PBJ never convinced me, i like these a lot cuz they are not slubby denim at all

do they taper a bit at the end or are they a straight leg?

also, how much are they supposed to shrink?

judging from the measurements, everything looks fine except the leg opening that seems to be huge. 9" is way too much, i like more around 8/8.5

[horriblyjollyjinx]

I like them more than the 003 and 005 actually, so tired of slubby denim.

actually, they are the same cut as the AI-001 and the XX-003, so they are a somewhat loose straight leg.

what about those $550 Oni "pre order only" jeans? I read about those $600 Kicking Mule jeans that would only be available at Odin. Are these like them? I touched them at the Odin store, very nice feel but it makes me wonder when is it overboard? I feel that the $700 price tag for the Jomons may be somewhat justified but now so many $600+ pairs claiming superior quality status.

The 006 has one of the nicest indigo color I've ever seen. It's almost like a royal blue. Its lighter than most of the other denim out there, but thats definitely what makes it special. The fit is a bit relaxed. I threw mine in the dryer to shrink it down a bit.

I think there is a thread on those Oni's already starting on page 5:

http://www.superfuture.com/supertalk/showthread.php?t=11747&page=5

They are 19 oz. supadupa slubby denim with the streaks. Definitely a statement piece. I've tried on the Jomons before, and I have to admit, I was a bit underwhelmed. 45rpm quality is always there, but there was something lacking for a pair of $800 cotton jeans. I think the Sorahikos are just as nice if only due to the price tag. But there are so much nicer denim you can get for under 3 beans, that I find it hard to justify my hard earned paper on the Jomons.

[polishmike]

I didn't see the Kicking Mules but the Onis looked better to me than the Jamons. Onis might be a little on the lighter side but they are beautiful. Anyone who can appreciate jeans will love them. They have the looks and the great feel on top of the amazing manufacturing process.

Coleslawyum, did you get any progress on them? I would love to see some pics of you wearing them. I still look at them in BiG and just try not to take my wallet out

they were dyed by hand by the same dudes.Oni's are more unique than Kicking Mule IMO and I think the quality should be the same as Jomon's. The thing about the Onis is that BIG put an order of buying the roll of denim, already dyed, etc. The pre-order is basically cut to order.

[polishmike]

I tried the 006 today and they are a little too wide for me. They feel very nice and if the leg would be slimmer I would buy them today.

I was also told that BiG is getting Somet and Skulls very soon. I saw the Somet samples and they might be my next purchase.

[poly800rock]

yeah, he had somet and loopwheeler stuff as samples last time i was in there. i'm very interested in the somet upperwear. jeans i already have

[erbs]

does anybody know what the sizing is like on the xx-006? Based on the BIG measurements, it would seem like you would have to size down at least one.

[poly800rock]

if you're looking for a real slim fit and PBJ's don't consider the 006 or 003. they're not tight fits. you should buy your normal size for the standard fit. they have the 005 for the slim fit

I would get true size. They were just a little too big for me so after a hot soak they would be perfect.

[Aramyr]

PBJs, in my experience with size 28 AIs, actually fit true to size. I'm a 28 waist, and they are pretty tight. Granted, the AIs are one wash, so they have probably shrunk more than just soaking would get you with raws to start, but if you intend to wash ever, sizing down may result in an uncomfortable amount of shrinkage.

[mizanation]

i wonder if they are gonna make a jean with the XX-005 fit but the XX-006 denim? seems like the natural thing to do.

That would be great. I want a pair that I can wear in the summer and the 006 have perfect denim.

[shinobi2000]

the Somet denim is smooth like the APCs? not slubby right? Are the samples on display or do you have to ask Gordon to show them to you?

[nettiemoore]

damn, i really like how those look. might have to consider getting them.

Just curious, but any progress on those AI?

yes. no idea about the somet fades though. the black somet's are pretty fucking impossible..

[chipopo]

A question regarding xx-006:

Has anyone bought them?

They look like a very good summer jeans.

The fading is really nice and the xx-003 style works for me.

Thanks,

Chipopo

[horriblyjollyjinx]

can we see pics of the fit please? I wonder about the rise, if it's high enough for that cut.

[justinbaily21]

Please post how they fit! The color, weight and cut are all exactly what I am looking for in a Summer pair, I just want to see how they look on somebody besides the Bear's model. What is the inseam length after shrinkage?

[nettiemoore]

that would be great if they did. it would also be my first pbj purchase if they made a pair like that.

[mizanation]

i still really like the xx-005 fit. after like 4 or 5 washes, it really becomes a nice fitting jean. it takes a few washes for the leg opening to shrink.

my xx-005s are coming along pretty well, but would like something built for fading like the xx-006. it's got a beautiful color.
