Pure Blue Japan has spent decades perfecting slub-heavy denim, and the XX-003 is a testament to that obsession. Built from a 14oz unsanforized selvedge denim, these jeans have an unmistakable texture—irregular, highly neppy, and packed with fading potential. The straight-leg fit gives it a timeless, versatile shape, while PBJ’s signature details, like the indigo leaf embroidery and deerskin leather patch, make it clear who’s behind this masterpiece. With every wear, the denim softens up and takes on a life of its own, forming high-contrast fades that are as personal as they are striking.

Fit Notes: Shop owner Tommy popped up to a 34 in these. That tends to be his standard starting point from PBJ. Even at a regular straight, with more room in the leg, he needed that 33.5" waist. We recommend you start at least one size bigger than you normally wear. Tommy is 5'10,' 165lbs with a 33-34" waist.
