Post pics of your denim - denim fades and evolution

Morgan: Those Eternals are definitely too big, and those PBJ are god damn amazing.

They appear to be skin-tight from the crotch to just above the knee. Looks fine in still photos, but I suspect they look not-so-good when moving around in real life. Anyone know how much PBJs stretch in the thigh?

the waist stretches quite a bit, but tighs, not much. 005 should be TTS, unless you're on the skinny-ish side ... 007 you can go -1 for a slim fit. of course, taste is subjective.

007 tts @W33

Not much. The loose-weave slubby denim is very elastic, but I didn't find mine to permanently stretch as much as some claim.

Thanks for the feedback guys. For reference, I'm 5'11" and 160 lb, and I wear 32x32 in j.crew, Banana, and other non-vanity sized mens pants, though such pants tend to be baggy ********** and thigh except for the new j.crew urban slim fit.

I wore the PBJs through the long weekend and they loosened up a bit through the thighs. I did size down one and counted on a bit of a stretch, and now I'm really pleased with them. They are what I'd hoped my SFx5EP would have been. Those are good slim-fitting jeans, but I was counting on an extra half-inch of stretch in the waist on the 5EP that never happened. I still love my APCs although they're pretty busted by this point, and the Iron Heart 634S are a roomier, alternative fit that I pair with heavier boots or Alden longwings. As much as I love the denim on the Eternals, the sizing is whacked and the stretch is such that I literally could not get into a tagged 32 waist, which probably would have been the correct size, post-stretch.

your apc's are busted? I was impressed with how much wear and fading you got out of them without any noticeable blowouts. My phone and wallet are bout to bust through my pockets at 5 months. the NS and pbj's were my favs of your collection

Just wanted to chime in: have no interest in wearing raw denim but I enjoy looking through this thread. Cool stuff.
