Pure Blue Japan (Denim) - Official Thread

[whodini]

It smoothes out to a degree on parts that get the most contact, yes.

They resemble dark blue burlap sacks more than the pictures i saw in the post your denim thread

 

[aaronxxx]

they will smooth out and fade as you wear them

Fool! Embrace the slub, love the slub

the jeans go through an "ugly duckling" stage [specially the 007]. the bumps and knots around the high traffic areas become more pronounced/conspicuous due to the gradual loss of indigo [fading] ... and somewhat hairy and unkempt like a mangy dog.

after a few months of wear and a couple of washes the stubbles fall off, the color evens out a bit [less contrasty] and the bumpy texture will still be there [but smoother]... the "swan" slowly emerges. man, you need at least a pair of PBJ in your life. all that's left to say is, just keep wearing them.

Hey,

I have a question, I am in the search of a pair of jeans with a relaxed fit, and am looking at the xx-003's. How much does this brand stretch/shrink? if my true waist size is 33, should I go for them in size 32?

Looking at the back rise, its quite large. If ****** is on the smaller side, should I skip this pair?

I need about an extra inch in the thighs to my pair of 3sixteen straights.

Heheh. Ain't denim great? Kinda like that pimply-faced girl with braces who turns into the school hottie.

That's poetry, IIIrd, and I'm not even high. Better words have never been spoken.

So I'm set on a pair of 005bk jeans, but unfortunately blue in green doesn't have a size 32 in stock. Is there anywhere else to get these, either in the states or via proxy? Should i just wait until BIG gets them back in?

 

[KitAkira]

You could try to e-mail Jay at Atsui. He doesn't have a storefront/website at the moment but he may/should still have stock, not sure if he had 005bks though

im not just saying this because i have a xx007 32 on sale, but i dont like raw black jeans they dont fade too lovely. rather a deep indigo faded is much more aesthetically pleasing. especially xx007 with its dyed on both warp and weft. you can get mine for about 40 bux cheaper than elsewhere . bnwt .
