Pure Blue Japan (PBJ)

@Cskarev how’s the neck collar on these holding up? Have checked out the Tanuki indigo t-shirt?

[Cskarev]

@bluemantra the t-shirts are very well made and I haven’t noticed any issues with the neck collar. Even more (maybe I have to share some more detailed photos) - the neck collar is maybe my favourite “zone” of these tees as the best fades till now can be noticed in the zones around the neck, the shoulders and the lower end.

I also have the Tanuki indigo tee. It is not very easy to compare it with the PBJ tees because the Tanuki tee is much heavier. I wear it less than the PBJ tees but it is also quite good in terms of quality and texture.

I have to say the collar on these PBJs holds up very well! Starts off a bit tight, but relaxes over time for a comfortable head entry and stays in that shape going onwards.

The sun’s out and I’m putting away laundry so here’s a gratuitous shot of my black indigo and regular tees (approx 9 months/3 years occasional wear). My phone doesn’t quite capture the colours right, but no editing except cropping.

@ARNC they’re looking fantastic! Waiting patiently for some re-stocks of these now

[ARNC]

@DeeDee85 thanks. No special knowledge, but I expect R&H will have them back in stock before long.

they really look fantastic @ARNC

[ARNC]

@weftyarn thanks! I think yours have gone a way further, but I love them.

Found one of the indigo tees on Grailed for super cheap. Size 3…bit small for my preference but the deal made it worth checking out this fabric. Def gonna grab a larger size when they come back around.

FWIW, while going with a size up would undoubtedly fit you better in the overall length, I think the fit of this particular size doesn't look off and fits you well too all things considered.

[Mizmazzle]

@cityofdelusion thanks man! I agree it’s not bad at all!! When I go to shows with the cool indie kids I’ll fit right in!!

[FlavourFade]

@Mizmazzle I think it looks very good and sizing up would just be another look for another day and both are cool. I dig that shirt and really work to lose weight because it's my girlfriends favorite and I want to wear it again. It ages great and holds up better than some of the heavier shirts I have or had. It's in my top3.

[bluemantra]

@FlavourFade I got a size 3(L) on the way from self edge. Had to size up from medium. I like the sunburned one as well.

[FlavourFade]

@bluemantra you will enjoy it! The sunburned is a cool variant also

They are lovely t shirts. I have a few and really like them. Here some pics. They need ironing lol and the colors are not accurate on the pictures but you get the idea

[bluemantra]

@FlavourFade Did yours shrink at all?

[yannis]

I washed them on cold water aand hung dry no dryer. Shinkage was marginal. The dark blue one is indigo died so i wash that one by hand. The rest on the washing machine cold no spin

[FlavourFade]

@bluemantra with only washing cold there was little to no shrinkage, I just noticed that the measurements are not the same for every color, I ordered a black one that was about a size smaller with the same tag as my indigo one
