Pure Blue Japan’s XX-003-IDBK jeans exemplify the brand’s devotion to artisanal denim craftsmanship. Woven on vintage shuttle looms from proprietary slub yarns, the 14oz Japanese selvedge fabric pairs an indigo-dyed warp with a sulfur-black weft — a striking combination that produces PBJ’s distinctive “shadow selvedge” character and deep, evolving tones over time.
Part of the brand’s iconic XX Series — a line that has built a global cult following since the early 2000s — this model showcases the signature PBJ texture and irregular surface feel that only true shuttle loom weaving can deliver. Every pair reflects the brand’s mastery of controlled imperfection: rich in slub, depth, and personality.
The regular straight fit offers a medium-high rise and balanced proportions through the leg with a subtle taper toward the hem, delivering a timeless silhouette that complements a range of body types. Details are pure PBJ — from the custom nickel buttons and hidden copper rivets to the natural deerskin leather patch and indigo leaf embroidery on the back pocket. The blue selvedge ID and chain-stitched hems underscore the brand’s meticulous finishing.
Pre-washed once for immediate comfort, the XX-003-IDBK arrives ready to wear with no further shrinkage expected. This model runs true to size, unlike some other PBJ fits that require sizing up — though checking the size chart is still recommended for the perfect fit.
Blending traditional Japanese weaving with innovative design, these jeans embody the essence of Pure Blue Japan: thoughtful construction, distinctive texture, and a timeless silhouette that rewards years of wear.
