The leg opening on the smaller sizes don't eat shoes :)

I am a premium denim neophyte. Decided to buy some "nice" denim.

I now have two pair of PBJ jeans, both purchased in the last few weeks from the good folks at Blue in Green:

First is the AI 001. Very heavy, yet still comfortable. Fabric has an interesting hand. Yarns are hand dyed with some wonderful ancient Japanese secret process that dyes the yarn to the core. Not sure why this is important, but I paid extra for it anyway because I'm sort of a sucker for anything old school and "crafty."

Second pair is the X 009 Slightly less heavy. Fabric is very very dark blue. Apparently woven completely of dark threads in both weft and warp.

Fit on both pair is good on me. I was worried because I have a big butt and big thighs, but the cut on these is just about perfect. Wearing them cuffed.

I can tell it's going to be a long process of breaking in and fading on these jeans, but I'm very much looking forward to the results.

Will post some pics when I get the chance.


I love my Pbjs too!

I've got the Purple Face, which I've had since 2012, fading nicely, but the denim isn't as good as my 21oz custom Kurabos

I think they'll go on the knees when they rotate to become my principle pair though:)

All pictures here courtesy of PBJ. XX-005 one wash - their most popular slim fit jean (slim through the thigh to the knee, but then remains straight fit from the knee to the hem, made of slubby denim) XX-010 purple face, one wash - same cut as the XX-005 Pics of the XX-010 (left) next to the XX-005 (right). Currently no PBJ jeans have acruates, instead only a single embroidered leaf on the top left of the back right pocket. Atsui is officially carrying PBJ and both these models will arrive in Atsui's first shipment, ETA Friday 10-31-2008.
Purple face is really cool, and I love the cute indigo leaf as well.:)

Forgot how well these stretch, got a somewhat loose one-wash, stretched out to a point where even braces barely hold them up right. Can fit a whole palm in the waist. :(
