new pbj model

[B-Dawg]

So they're not actually sold out? Or are they?

[LaiShin]

It reads 'NEW' and sold out. Pre-order must be hot.

[High Monika]

cool, not the first time someone tapers this model...i dunno im pretty happy with the leg opening on mine

definitely post pictures/fit-pics once they're tailored.

Wish to fuck I hadn't hemmed but I wasn't converted to stacking until after. Pleased as punch with the 7" taper. Click to enlarge.

Its not sold out. Big's xx-009 page is working now.

Measurements are up and you can actually buy them!

I wonder why the smallest size they have is a 34? Maybe they figure only the biggin's that couldn't fit into the xx-007's will buy them. Hmm.

[aaronmetcalf]

my first sign of fading

[B-Dawg]

I can't order those XX-009s yet cause some limey bastard stole my credit card and donated money to oxfam.co.uk with it. Now I have to wait for my new card to get here.

[edmond]

how come big just got those now? i got my 009 3 months ago

[B-Dawg]

Fit pics please?

[Quills]

My 007s should be here tomorrow. So excited.BiG was a little slow sending them out, then DHL held on to them all day Friday. I guess their courier never bothered coming, the tracking number still says with courier/scheduled for delivery. I called and bitched and the operator said they should be here first thing tomorrow.

[Warren G.]

Damnit, I guess I'm a few months behind xD.

def would pick up a pair ;[

[Quills]

Just got mine. I really hope they don't stretch out much because the fit is pretty much spot on right now.

anyone ordered the xx007 in one-wash?

i wonder if the one-wash would effect the special dying done on that model if any.

No, it won't effect the "special" dying.

It just removes any excess indigo and gets all the shrinkage out of the way.

Oh, and PBJ's look beautiful when they get a wash! The slub really shows through.

someone posted these on t5-forum. 6months worn, 3 washes.

very nice outcome, imo. thought that posting these up here wasn´t a bad idea...

heads up to the original poster and owner of these babies, patrick731.

Wow.

I never knew the fade would be so similar to normal Indigo dyed denim.

I will now throw my xx-007's into my rotation.

Awesome.

[cabl3]

6 months? wow thats amazing.

Ive got all of about 3.5 months of wear on mine, and I still havent washed...am I holding out too long for the first wash?

(Mind you, Im not making it a point to avoid washing them...it just hasnt come across to me that its time yet...because you know..indigo loss is the LAST thing Im worried about with these.)

[Quills]

Just got mine back from the tailors. Tapered to 6.5 at the hem, stack great now.

I have the one wash and it isn't affecting anything. If your holding out on getting them because you want the raws, just get the one wash.

I think you'd be safe to do a soak or wash if you wanted. I wore mine for about 3 months before i had a bowl of melted butter spilled on my lap at a lobster cook out. I did a soak and now they look even better than before. The slub and vertical falling really starts to show, not to mention the infinite shades of blue that are visible. But if you wanted to hold out for another 3 months, i doubt it would hurt. Just pray against crotch rips.

[cabl3]

i was actually only gonna hold out for another month or so.

and i'll do a cold soak

[Quills]

Damn these stretch fast. Slept one night in them and now I can pull them down all buttoned up.

[technicolor]

I was in Mitsuwa yesterday reading the lastest Lighting and I saw a Pure Blue Japan advertisement next to a preview about a new pair of denim coming out.

At first I thought they were just xx-007, but then I realized that they were much more purple.

New model, dyed in the same fashion as xx-007 (dyed warp and weft), and the only name it had for them was "Purple Face".

Can anyone dig deeper into this?

[salaami]

these jeans represent an ingenious idea come to life. some of the most intriguing denim ive never seen. gotta get to BIG to see it up close and personal.

"Purple Face"? Or xx-007's?

I would say both are wonderful.

So beautiful.

[Vanquish Gold]

I want this. Badly.

[aaronmetcalf]

Found on nappy head jenkins' flickr 1 year and 2 months.

[midnight]

[aaronmetcalf]

[grouse_allergy]

Um, no... I think "Wowwwwww" is quite enough. Those are pretty sensational.
