Pure Blue Japan (PBJ)

down the line, the 005 denim will soften up & become more pliant. the waistband will stretch out even past raw measurement if needed. sizing down 1 is common_ even 2 for slim/skinnier built [ie, w/o thigh issues].
just make sure you're good at the thighs. thigh shrinkage is about 0.25" measured flat or 0.5" all-round_ 3/4" should be max.
***on O/W, shrinkage is almost max, so tendency/behavior of the denim is to stretch out.
i take the tightest pair i can squeeze into & button up. -

Pretty insane

Woah, they look lovely!

My thighs measure the same as the one wash so tts is risky, let alone sizing down one.
Here are my 007's (tts/up half an inch) after a measly few weeks of wear:Witness the slub!

Picked up a pair at BIG while in NYC last week and the pants are very very nice. Lovely color. One thing: PBJ sizes are weird. My IH are 33 or 34 waist, and I need to size up to 36 or even 38 for a loose fit with PBJ's.

He said he needed to size up to get a loose fit; I think that's where the problem lies. PBJ doesn't really make loose fitting jeans, just slim and slimmer. I've wanted to try a pair for years, but I can't fit my thighs in anything close to my correct size. And as Injun Jack always tells us, if a pair of jeans in your correct size doesn't fit right, then you're wearing the wrong style.:)

Some pics would be great, when you get the time GB.
I don't want to post pix on non IH stuff on the IH forum, sorry.

isnt that what this forum is for though? Other brands?

The xx003 are pretty loose/traditional fitting. My 007's fit pretty good as a 32 (tts) but the xx003's were way too roomy at the same size.
