PBJ are known for having slim thighs - if they're tight you should exchange them and size up one

Just some evo pics with a better camera than last time. Wow, that pair are looking supercool!

The thighs are barely going to stretch, you can give em a try and wear them and see if they will give a little, but they won't stretch like the waist for example. You may be best selling this pair while they're still new and buying a pair that fit in the thighs.

Do the xx12s run smaller than xx11 and 13s? The BiG website says they're the same but the measurements are different.

Looking to buy the 013s, how do these babies stretch?

I agree- sell them while new

PBJ jeans always have small thighs so you shouldn't size down unless you're a bag of bones like me - here are my size 0 purple face 1069-2-PPs and I'm even thinner now:

You should get about an inch or so out of the waist, but not much anywhere else. Can't wait for the 013s to come in at Blue in Green, love that purple leaf.

Haven't posted in ages... Been working on a pair of FH's for over a year now, but its time to start looking at another pair of PBJ's!

Looks like there's tons of new models now... Does anyone have a breakdown of how the XX-015 Cigarette Slim fits similar to previous models (is it a rehash of an older fit + new material)? Is it similar to the 011's?

Finally got the 011 sz34s, still has that hip flare but I guess that's just the way my body is. Hopefully they'll stretch out at the waist so the flaring becomes less prominent. These were raw but I asked BiG to soak them, they came out about one washed sized except the inseam was too long so I got them hemmed; but also the leg opening turned into the same size as the knee, so they became a slim straight instead of slim tapered. I guess this means after I wash them they'll become tapered again?

Current fades on purple face - bought from BiG in 2012

the waist in mine fit fine now after a week of wear. the thighs have also stretched but very very minimally. i decided to keep them bc they are pretty comfortable now and fit nicey. my gf however says that they r very skinny on me and that my package shows.. lol
im hesitant to sell them bc ill be taking a lost and also the whole lazy factor..

You know that often slim tapered jeans taper from the knee to the leg opening, do you? What do you think happens, when you shorten the leg from knee to hem? The hem gets wider... So, no, they aren't going to magically taper again after a wash.
