Pure Blue Japan (PBJ)

really like the texture of the AI-002

The first of 2 24oz models came in today at BIG, it is the XX-013 24oz. Gordon told me he'd post a pic today, so go check it out. It is raw, so I wonder how much it will weigh when washed and shrunk. PBJ makes awesome pants, (almost) on a par with IH. In the pipeline is a 24oz version of the truly fantastic XX-007 deep indigo model. That one, I'm getting most definitely.

I am thankful they only did the 24oz denim in their skinny cuts because I would be heavily tempted by the 003 cut!

Man those 007s at 24 oz. look good…

[jimmy]

I am impressed they manage to get that leaf embroidered so nicely over that seam in such thick denim

[gbougard]

Just received the 013 24oz model. It is a fucking beauty. The blue is amazing, the stiffness is out of this world. I could barely flezx my legs when I rode my motorcycle back home!

the fit is great, although I think I should have taken the straight rather than the slim model because I have thighs and ass of a former rugby player… But man, I can tell the fade is going to be fantastic like the 007.

[Seul]

Can you please take fit pics?.. I'd go for the 007 model though, but would love to see some real pics nonetheless…

[jimmy]

2nd on the pics please

[gbougard]

Dear Seul + Jimmy:

I am sorry to inform you I will not post fit pix of another brand on IH's forum. I hardly ever post fit pix of IH stuff, and I think it would be impolite to use IH's site to big up another brand by posting their pix. I hope you understand.

Trust me, the pants are very nice. Maybe Gordon at BIG has fit pix or maybe PBJ directly (very nice people, btw).

May Jah bless you and kill your enemies.

[Seul]

Ok… PM me some pics then, perhaps?.. It's not as if I will suddenly stop buying IH goods, lad...

[rocket]

actual I think that the chances are way below zero, that after posting a fit pic of PBJ's or any other brand, will stop fellows here around from buying IH stuff….

[Seul]

Just want a replacement for my darktone Prescotts - these are darkened in the same way… Not overdyed...

[jimmy]

No decent brand would care of been compared as it would only make them either look better or step up their game. win win IMO

your decision after all and i respect that.

[gbougard]

The 005 24oz model is out. See the PBJ website. Yummy.

[riffblaster general]

i don't see how fit pics would be impolite to ironheart considering it would be posted in a section titled "other denim & garment brands" or "fit pics of other brands".  if it is impolite then what would be the point of even having an other denim section at all?  i can't imagine anyone at IH would be offended.

[kit99bar]

definitely would love to see fit pics.  I just hate how they choose 3 cuts for this new denim and all three, for a size 32, have smaller than 8.5 knees. 

[gollotti]

I see PBJ has come out with a 24-010-Purple Face 24oz.

Anyone have any of the older purple face jeans that PBJ came out with previously to see what the evo looks like?

[Chris]

Saw someone over on Super Future with a pair that looked so inspiring I wanted to buy a pair, but PBJs are all so damn skinny through the thighs.  A pair that would fit my legs would be a couple inches too big in the waist.  Oh well- saved me a few hundred bucks…

Are the 24007 as slubby as regular 007? Slubbier then 634SR?

I have a pair of 007. They are beautiful, yeah, I loved them. Great cut, indeed, the deep indigo idea is great too.
but they are to much slubby, for my taste.
One pair are OK, two are to much, for me. I think that 634SR has the maximum of acceptable slubbiness …
