I'm actually not sure if I prefer my PBJ's vs the BOM005's I picked up from Jay. Both are excellent, just almost complete opposites in terms of denim characteristics.. Is. Slubbiness, weave density, drape, etc.

What was wrong with your Momo fit?


I like my jeans to be fitted. The 0702's where a bit too loose for my liking.

Also, dusttruffle you are right. Pink inseam doesn't bother me at the 0701. It's quite neat actually. But the deep indigo's, it just stands out to much, IMO.

I'm out too, just don't fit anymore, can't do anything about that. Got a pair of PBJ 12s instead.

Getting ready to give my 0702s their first wash. Had them since mid January and wear them a few times a week on average. They're starting to get a bit of an odor though, so I'm guessing that means it's time.

Always good to have another 702 wearer. However, if you're entering the formal contest, pm CalTex for the buy-in.

That would do it. Good call.

Such dark denim but man that pink pops.

A tad self conscious about it

Cat hair everywhere

Nah I wasn't too concerned on chainstitch vs lock stitch. I have a great Italian tailor who is a fit fiend so I prefer him to size it appropriately and he's local

Before my first wash (bought in January - wore 2-7x per week for 8 months). Not the most spectacular fades yet. I work a desk job.
