how much is the average stretch on the o/w? if any? does this apply to all pbj o/w jeans or do they somewhat vary by model?

IME, they stretch out really easily in the waist, I got about 2" of stretch there within a few weeks with my last pair of O/W PBJ (they were XX-007s). They don't stretch that much in the hips and thighs, though, at least not through normal wear.

Hey all... Interested in purchasing a pair of xx-013's and was wondering about sizing... I'm a 33 in the NC-011 one wash... How should I size on the blue 013's?

Any help would be greatly appreciated...

There's a disclaimer on BiG that the 13 and 11 are the same cut. I'd just go with the same 33.

@Malaujai

Those are pretty amazing. I wish I could fit the 11 cut.

I'm amazed that people can get fades that high contrast and widespread without any exposure to water. My denim just doesn't want to.

Too tight after putting on some weight. I know, right? Wimped out and got the wider thigh 009

I'm enjoying my squats and dl's for the time being, so probably won't have use for the denim. I'd shelved them in May for months, and tried them again in August after getting home from SA, but to no avail. So they were shelved again, and have since been lounging in the B/S for almost a month.

Giving my 8-month-old 009s their first wash today. Excited for them to tighten back up and highlight some wear. Pics shall come.

Wow - not just tighten back up - these are smaller than when I hot soaked them the first time. Length came up another inch-and-a-half too. They fit like a slim-straight now. Great change. (Pics still to come)

Just out of curiosity, did you buy the O/W or raw? I have O/W 009 that have yet to see water from me, curious if there will be shrinkage like you say. looking forward to pics!
