Wearing my PBJ 1069-2-PP jeans today - heading towards 2 years old, no repairs done (although zip broken!).....

Getting lots of love so don't think they'll do 3 years sadly, but still going strong atm

debating ditching my 012s for something new entirely or maybe just 007)scared of getting that dumb leg flare though).
More and more I am getting irritated with them because I Think the issue is that the thighs are too slim to allow me to wear them where i want(for example, pull them high enough, before they get stuck on my upper thighs and then they really start to pull on my leg hair and irritate the back of my legs ) and with the waist being loose, they start to fall off. There is NO way i could try to manipulate the fit with going to a 30 from the 31 to get the smaller waist, because then there is no way i could deal with the smaller areas everywhere else. The fit "looks" good and feels good for a few minutes until things move too much, if that makes sense. Id hate to lose funds on another half worn pair, but what can you do?!!?

"Looks" fine, but I moved on my 007s for the same reasons you describe. It's why sizing down and jamming yourself in there is never worth it; you can't own them long enough to get them to look awesome because you're so darn uncomfortable all the time.

This is why any denim I buy from here on out will be "large" on me. Enough with this skinny crap.

Try wearing 21oz denim that's both shrunk and repaired by taking in the hip..

That's Uncomfortable!!!:)

I'll probably post them later today after i get some good pics.
If I have this problem now, should i avoid the brand entirely?? I know the slim thigh and knee is an issue with these, and I am a small guy!!! or so i thought, 5'11 and 150 or maybe my legs are just beeeeeefy! doubtful though.
Ill probably go with blue owl x japan blue collab with the next if pbj seems to be a lost cause.

I'd go with the Japan Blues!

Their denim is great and all PBJ jeans have narrow thighs...:)

They almost look black due to the circumstances the pictures have been taken in.

Good luck selling those :)

My favourite PBJ 1069-2-PP purple face (bought from BiG December 2012 , washed regularly because they're 5% stretch! to stop them sagging are showing signs of wear..

Zip busted - not a problem as I wear my shirts over them

They've started shrinking at every wash - if they get much smaller I won't get into them, although they do stretch out with wear.,also the rise has shrunk so I have to keep pulling them up!

I'll wear these babies until I honestly can't get them on at all..won't be washing them for a bit now!
