Pure Blue Japan 008 3.5 Years (13 months effectively ) In Use

This is a pair of my favourite PBJ denims , I started to wear them on November of 2010, so till now , they are almost 3.5 years old but however I only wear them in the summer time with my other chinos and old denims , so they are exactly 13 months effectively in use 

I was aiming to find one pair of comfy denims which are made of light weight fabric ,silky smooth  and slim straight silhouette   then  I communicated with Kozue, the manager of PBJ she did suggest me maybe I could try out PBJ 008 in these reasons ...

I still remember that when I touched down the 008 in a second I just realized THIS IS THE PAIR I LIKE  . 

And here are the photos how they age to as below:





 I washed them very frequently ( after every 2 ~ 4 weeks effectively wears )  so the denims do not have big contrast but more natural , the colors turn to be light sky blue which is similar tone as vintage denims
 I always wear rings so the front pockets are worn out a little bit ...
 The Cat's whiskers fading is kind of the thing I am really into
 Everyday I need to knee down to help customers to lace up their boots so it is pretty easier for me to wear out the knee part
 So I ask Cindy if she could help me to repair this area then she patched it with a piece of beautiful japanese Camo twill from Rampuya Company , I do really appreciate it and love it so much!
 I did sweat a lot in summer time so you can see the fabric itself turns to be a little be brownish
 the left back pocket is worn out a little bit , if i remember correctly , this issue is affected by my very old Nokia N95 ^..^!~
 The vegetable tanned sheepskin leather patch turns to be darker brown color and the roped belt loops are aged in the middle
 sometimes you can identified the age of the PBJ denims from the lovely leaf logo stitching -..-~~~~ 
 I love the honeycombs fading and if you close to see , you will find some lightning fades as well like the real vintage Levi's denims ...
and here are the aged one compare to brand new ~
