Yes that was what I was recommended. I sized down one from my true waist (33) to a 32 and the fit is great.

They've dropped at BiG. Anyone picking them up? They look beautiful, but $438 is too much for my wallet... I don't know why I thought that I'd be able to afford them.

I didn't understand that either. BiG has only 21 pairs? Or only 21 total in the world? Or PBJ only did 21 of each size?

they are on the pbj site: http://www.purebluejapan.jp/pages/whats-new im sure big got the first run since they helped with the design. i have not looked to see if they are available anywhere else as of yet, but i doubt it. $450 for an original heavy weight design? who else can do that for their customers ... thats a ******* incredible deal.

where did it say that BiG helped with the design? I know the cut is a collab, but other than that it seems to be PBJ's
