I think its ok, and to be honest, from a distance, the white leaf of the PBJ, looks like there's a piece of gum on your ass, although I'll most likely get a pair eventually. Back pocket design isn't a big deal.

its not a white leaf, its an indigo leaf.

the sg design you can tell was very well thought out. i guess it can always be removed though.

Been about a week and a half of proper wear in my PBJ 007s.. holy **** these stretched a lot in the waist.

I remember the first time I wore them there was so much pressure on my belly that my stomach actually got upset after eating some food.

The thighs are still a bit tight but they've definitely stretched a little.

P.S. the rise on these is so low that I'm definitely flashing my boxers and the skin of my back when I'm sitting down and leaning forward on a table. Makes me a bit self conscious.

yeah, most pbjs are low-rise. they are not for everyone. bitches like them because they make you look like you have a huge winky. one of the nice things about pbjs is they look great fitted and worn a little lower.

As can probably be gathered, I recently had issues with my 007s; size issues esp. in conjunction with workout results beginning to show in my thighs. Beyond that little adventure, I gave the jeans a wash, and then took a ton of time stretching the thighs out by hand. Managed to get maybe .3 inches out of each.

But in relation to GreenFrog - the knees and lower leg came in and shrunk up even more than they had been. Maybe try getting them wet again and see if it will reset the uneven knee bulge. After 4 months and now three submersions in water (principal soak and two washes since) I've continued to get shrinkage each time.

I thought the only PBJ model with an indigo leaf is the XX-013? All of the others that I've had had the white leaf.

they might use different color threads on different models ... my point was that the design is an indigo leaf. i was being sarcastic.

after a wash your 007 shrinks in the lower leg. might be interesting.

Looking for sizing help on the xx-011. Looking at BiG, it looks like most people size down 1? Is that the general consensus?

That makes sense, the leaf is from the indigo plant. I didn't even think of that, I always thought it was just a random leaf.
