PBJ 005 crotch giving out at 2 months?

[Mr. M]

hey dawgs.

so i've got a 2 month old pair of pbj xx-005s that ive been wearing. the stitching has come out in some spots and now theres like a little hole just giving way in the corner. i got them from BiG so i've inqured there but i was wondering if this means i have crotch AC or if i'm eligable for some kind of repair or something. my ola's never even split like this even though they're made of tissue paper.

How many times do I have to tell you people to stop clawing at your crotch!

jeez

The crotch started to go on my 003s in about 5 months, BiG did some repairs and it's holding, for the most part. I always rip out the crotch of my jeans though so it didn't surprise me at all.

hey Mr M. , got the same problem here.

mine went off at two months too and i've been wearing them for a month with the hole in the crotch.

i got my pair straight from Japan and its not convenient at all to send them back there for repairs.

Anybody with such experience and went on without repairs?

[enojy]

that's a lot of stitch failure for 2 months, god damn

[alex_844]

the reason these and not ur olas developed a hole is beacuse the stiffness of this denim. stiffer denim can lead to more abrasion alot of the time. plus i imagine the slubbiness of the pbjs it means the denim is rougher than the olas.

^eh... its still not good for just two months of wear. I've been hearing a lot of issues with PBJ 005 crotch breaks recently.

Repair them now or it will spread and be hard to stop.

That cut is also very shallow in the crotch area, so I wouldn't be surprised if it was subject to high stress

[sweetmofo]

alex_844, not so sure if its due to the stiffness cos i got mine one wash and they didnt come that stiff. besides, the dukes i own used to be rock hard when but after 6 months the crotch still holds.

i think it's due to the rise being low and maybe inferior stitching?

repairing seems like the right thing to do but doing it at 3 months in sounds nearly insane. damn..

[cheep]

shit... i get those stitches broken the first time i skate in a pair of jeans. the fabric tho is a bit different, but youre probably putting ALOT of stress there.

my pbj's blew out after like 1 month. Just rocked em with holes like that forever. Recenetly got them ghetto repaired.....looks like shit but works.

i have too many jeans now...all with ripped crotches lol

[enojy]

but youre probably putting ALOT of stress there.

[language hurts]

my pbjs lasted 6 months before a small crotch hole formed... i ride a bike everyday as well... i didn't size downnn

[Corbin Law]

ive never once ripped a crotch

averaged sized penis i swear.

[prufrock]

doesnt self edge do crotch repairs, or only chainstitched hems?

[rome1]

email gordon over at BiG and he should be able to help you out with a repair. Its a little hectic over there from him shipping out all of the contest jeans at the moment, but I'm sure he won't leave you stranded. Esp since you bought them there.

[munkyballz]

Not quite as bad/noticeable as yours, but my pbjs have started to fray a bit at the crotch. Although, it didn't happen until around the 7-8 month-ish mark though.

Haven't really gotten around to repairing it either, been wearing it like this for ~ a month or so and it hasn't really gotten to be a bigger problem, either. Probably will get it repaired after I wash them a few weeks, but who knows.

[bones.]

I think it's time you learn how to sew. It's really not that hard.
