[weftyarn]

Thanks guys! @tody hope you’ll be lucky to find one soon. always got my eyes open for you

@ARNC yup the black one takes a bit more time. wearing it right now actually

@weftyarn Hey Emil…thinking of snagging one of the indigo PBJ tees. How do you size them? I wear a large in IH tees…but also have a medium IH tee that fits nice too on the slimmer side.

[Mizmazzle]

Also wondering if these get much shrink with a cold wash/ hang dry?

[ARNC]

@Mizmazzle if this is a general question, I have found the sizing to be pretty stable with cold machine washing and air drying. There’s always the potential for a bit of reshaping while damp if you’re concerned about a particular measurement.

[Mizmazzle]

@ARNC I’m conflicted between a size 3 and 4. Think 4 is what I’d need. 18” shoulder is my preference with a 26” length.

[ARNC]

@Mizmazzle no way could I do a 3! I don’t have any IH tees yet as I’m usually caught in between sizes (I don’t have the body for very slim tees but don’t like them baggy either). I’m usually L, occasionally XL in IH work shirts and a solid 4 in the PBJ tees if that helps.

I have the dark indigo one in Sz 5 and it's a pretty nice fitting shirt, great material. One comment is that the sleeves are pretty damn snug. Not like a dealbreaker or anything but I feel like it's a notable quirk.

@Mizmazzle if I recall correctly you're usually a size down from me, so I'd guess 4 is your size here.

I got these a couple of years ago Pure Blue Japan AIBK-019 Natural Indigo x Sumi Ink Relaxed Tapered Jeans-33

[Mizmazzle]

@popvulture oh thanks for the heads up on the sleeves. I don’t like my tees to be hipster tight. I like a comfy fit but not sloppy. Is that how the 5 fits you? Wish IH would make a 1610L in indigo. Love the fit of those.

@gazza61 Got the Type 3 jacket with this fabric, this thing is unbelievably amazing...

Hope you like these jeans

[gazza61]

@gouki74 yes indeed the fabric is truly amazing.

[weftyarn]

@Mizmazzle Hey Mark, sorry for the late reply but there’s not much to add to the everyone’s recommendations
I think 4 would be your best bet.

[Mizmazzle]

@weftyarn no worries at all homie. Thanks for the deets. Your tee looks so sick I just have to have one now!!

[gouki74]

@Mizmazzle If i can help you also, I'm 6"0 for 180lbs and size 4 is my size for all of my pbj stuff.
I wear size L with my IH Shirt and Large with the 11oz t-shirts also. If you want pics with my pbj t-shirts I can send you some for you to be sure.

[Mizmazzle]

@gouki74 thanks dude!! That helps a ton. I’m a large in IH too so sounds like this will be the right call.

[gouki74]

@Mizmazzle Glad i could help mate

@weftyarn a bit late but I am sharing couple of photos of my PBJ tees. Both of them showing some beautiful fades.

[weftyarn]

excellent! is that lighter one the “sunburnt” version? looks great!

[Cskarev]

I think the colour of this version is called “middle indigo” by PBJ. I have seen the “sunburnt” version but this one is different.

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