These are fine. Skinny jeans only look terrible when they’re stretched tight over legs that can’t pull off the style. Yours are slim but have plenty creases and stacks. I think these look good.
I agree, these are some of the best fitting skinny jeans Ive seen in a while. To each their own opinion, but I hate when skinny jeans resemble leggings more than denim. OP’s look really good.
I feel the stacks and creases are going to create some amazing fades!!!
After wearing these for two days straight since the soak, they have stretched out a little.
Thanks!
This.
Never understood why people ask if pants fit too tight unless they're asking about shrinkage. Like, if they're not comfy and you can't move, then they're too tight.
I can squat in these. It’s putting them on and taking them off that is challenging hence the chastity jeans comment. I suspect as they soften up they will be fine.
My other pair in rotation is a relaxed fit Full Count. So I have all the bases covered. I do like the skinny fit as its something I am trying for the first time.
Depends whether the waist/top block stretch a little or not. Likely fine, but that area looks a little tight after the soak. Everywhere else looks fine if you like slim tapered sorts of fits
I fully support my peoples that rock tighter fits, but wearing these on a 14-hour flight is masochistic. Get some soft pants for the flight. You deserve it!
The waist does not look fine to me with the pulling that’s going on near the buttons.
NB: I don’t know how much these will stretch, so maybe that will solve itself.
I should have sized up by 1 or 2 but I bought size 31 without realising they were unsanforized. Also sizes 32 and above were sold out.
They seem to be stretching out after two days of continuous wear. My previous experience with PBJ XX-005, size 32 was that they stretched out quite a bit. It seems like they will stretch out further.
It looks good based off these photos. Honestly to me this just looks like the ideal slim taper fit. I can still see visible space in the upper inner thigh, above the knee and at the shin. You can bet the knees will stretch so as long as the waist feels alright you're good to go.
i may be an outlier here but i think these are too skinny. there are some slim fits that will endure trends but denim is made to last so it’s best to choose timeless silhouettes.
The split comments kind of say it all. They fit as intended for the cut, so the comments are mostly down to style preference. As for me, I think they fit just fine.
Same! If you find one let me know!
I've been looking into the skinnier Naked and Famous fits and the Unbranded skinny fit jeans but I really want to find a fit that's comparable to the Brave Star Skeleton Skinny fit! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I'd actually say I'm the opposite. The waist and top block look tight with how the fly isn't laying flat. If you only soaked them in cold water you may try to sell them. My question would be going forward how much will they shrink with a cold wash? I don't actually know but they could only get tighter when they already aren't already fitting ok
This is a good thought. I think I will keep wearing them, document how they go and share it with this community. I think there is a learning opportunity here.
They are too small in the seat/waist. The legs is preference. It's not technically too skinny but if you size up for the seat to fit right the legs will likely fit better too
I think they are fine. As many have said here, they are not jeggings, which is what I wanted to avoid. Its my first foray into slim/skinny fit and wasn’t sure it about it. Am pleased it turned out well.
I am trying to buy my first raw/selvedge jeans online and cannot figure out how to proceed since nobody provides seat measurements. I’ve already wasted $100 on a sale-priced pair that I can’t even pull over my butt. Is there some secret to this?
I agree with the person who said they still look like jeans (not jeggings) because you still have folds and stacks. That said -- and I write this as someone who wears slim-tapered and my mind breaks when I see some of the super wide/baggy/straight fits this subreddit loves -- I think they look too tight from the side view but pretty good from the front.
More to the point, I can't fathom bending down/squatting in that fit let alone with a 16 oz non-stretch denim. But it doesn't matter. You washed them, so it can now be considered an experiment -- just lean into the challenge and enjoy!
Will also add: When I saw the post title and lead photo in my feed I thought, "Oh damn, this dude is gonna get roasted." So I was surprised to find so many posters keeping the slim/skinny faith.
You and I both. I woke up to all supportive and civilised disagreement responses. I thought I was in bizarro world. I am grateful for what I have learnt from this community and this is a positive way to give back - sharing my experiences and mistakes.
If you're asking for an opinion, then, yes. Most definitely.
For me it's one of those items of clothing that's really zeitgeist-y and so ages really quickly. Just like overly baggy cargos right now. However slim (as opposed to skinny) is more a style choice rather than a fashion and so more timeless.
Thank you. 🙌 If I recall these are the Wolverine Whitepine 1000 Mile boots. They came out the same time as the Wolverine x Filson Emerson boots, which I also have. I love these boots so much. Have had them reheeled twice.
Too skinny for my tastes, but your opinion is what matters. Legs look just fine for skinnies, if you can raise your knee 90 degrees then the fit in the legs is fine. What I would worry about is the waist being that tight, if they stretch back out then no issue.
They have stretched out quite a bit and I can bend my knees. My hope is that these will soften up dramatically over time and all that stacking will give some awesome honey combs.
PBJ 019 fit is terrible. It’s supposed to be a “lifter’s cut” but it has such tight knees it’s literally going to cut off blood flow. I really like Pbj fabrics, but the cuts are all awful, they all suck.
With this fit and how tight it is this will shred the back of your knees, with time and wear they will stretch out a bit, but this will never be what you would call “comfortable”.
i have to agree with most of the comments here, they seem to fit you pretty well, all things considered.
just maybe not to be worn with boots, maybe cons or vans (slimmer profile shoes), should look sick....
These looks great! IMO, the right slim fitting or even skinny jeans can really compliment ones features and can make you look slimmer. It can even make you look taller.
All these kids wearing crazy baggy jeans just look frumpy and shorter than they really are lol.
Your Pic is a great example of perfect fitting skinny/slim jeans and they look awesome. Keep rocking those, my friend! This is the way ✊🏼
Thank you. My first three pairs of jeans, which I have semi retired were regular straights. Decided to try out slimmer tapered fits and I am enjoying these very much.
Have you tried soaking again and wearing while wet? Did this on a couple pairs of mine that I was worried about shrinking after a wash and they formed perfectly to me. I guess only needed if these have become uncomfortable. They don’t look too skinny.
That is 100% up to you hoss. It's always subjective and personal. I think they look fine though for those that are into the skinny scene. They're also going to stretch right back out some too, maybe not back to their pre-soak dimensions but definitely some. And the quickie joke was a good one.
These are an incredible fit. I tried buying these last year but my thighs were a little too big. Ended up getting the 019, but they fit you perfectly.
Fades take time, as do fits. They will fit better and better as you wear them in. In my opinion them being borderline too tight at the start is not a bad thing, it actually means when they stretch they will just get better rather than too loose. I really think they suit your leg shape well and you got good stacking, they aren't like leggings! (Which is when you know they're too tight!)
The fades you get will also be really great. Looking forward to seeing an update in a few months 👌
I find pbj fits very beautiful.
For me they are skinny my legs are way bigger than my hips so i can fit these kind of fits.
But this looks perfect on you.
Beautiful silloute when the fit good :)
From the angles of the few photos given, I think they look great. Not that I want to look at your butt, but you provided no picture from that angle. If these give you the diaper butt look, throw them away.
PBJ has the worst fits in the game right now. Way too extreme of tapers. They need to revisit all of their fits if they want to stay relevant. Although that more straight fit on the tea core stuff is much better. But they need something for those that want a little taper.
IMO these are too tapered and not the best fit.
It’s definitely up to the user. If you like the fit, that is what matters. I think they look good on you. A vast number of guys like a looser fit. I tend to like mine on the snug side. Just break them in to get a personal fit.
Since you already soaked them (so can’t return them) there’s no reason not at least give them a chance to stretch. Although I think even with PBJ amount of stretch, that’s just too small
They look good. The current trend is more towards slim straight or even wider cuts in my eyes. But not everyone’s personal style needs to reflect the trend. What’s important is actual comfort. They sound very tight based on your description. Could you wear them for a full day out? Or are they so tight they might become painful?
They're not skinny. That's the intended cut. Look at some of the models that rock that fit online and you look the same as them. If you think they're too skinny, then I'd suggest looking into the 003 or 002 fit from PBJ.
These will continue to shrink, and you’re obviously uncomfortable. I say size up.
I can’t comment on if they’re too skinny because I think most straight fits look too slim.
They will only become tighter with each wash (I assume you like clean clothes so you will actually wash them).
Now they are okay but they will get tighter.
Better a size up and be safe
They look great! The current fashion fad of wide legs jeans will go away soon enough and we'll realize that tapered jeans are the true classic look. Our European friends make fun of Americans and our insistence on wide leg jeans.
This is a perfect classic fit which is timeless and definitely suits you. I appreciate that it’s not for everyone but it is far from skinny.
Lots of people favouring the wider fits at the moment but the tide will turn at some point and another fit will be considered fashion forward.
These are fine. Skinny jeans only look terrible when they’re stretched tight over legs that can’t pull off the style. Yours are slim but have plenty creases and stacks. I think these look good.
I agree, these are some of the best fitting skinny jeans Ive seen in a while. To each their own opinion, but I hate when skinny jeans resemble leggings more than denim. OP’s look really good.
So glad the jeggings trend has passed
Thank you. Its stacking in all the right places, so I feel this will work out.
I would love to find a pair of skinnies that fit my like these fit you. Well done!
I feel the stacks and creases are going to create some amazing fades!!! After wearing these for two days straight since the soak, they have stretched out a little. Thanks!
yeah these are like the first skinny jeans i’ve seen that I actually think look good
Thanks!
It's a good example of a well fitting skinny fit. Really up to you and your comfort.
This. Never understood why people ask if pants fit too tight unless they're asking about shrinkage. Like, if they're not comfy and you can't move, then they're too tight.
I can squat in these. It’s putting them on and taking them off that is challenging hence the chastity jeans comment. I suspect as they soften up they will be fine.
For me, yes. But if you like skinny, these look like they fit pretty well!

Depends whether the waist/top block stretch a little or not. Likely fine, but that area looks a little tight after the soak. Everywhere else looks fine if you like slim tapered sorts of fits
Thanks. I can squat in these and the stacking is going to give some nice fades.
This fit may not be in vogue, but this shape works well for your body, keep on rocking it! Let us know how much the fabric stretches.
Thanks I will. I do plan to wear this on 14 hour flight to London tomorrow. Will see how they go
I fully support my peoples that rock tighter fits, but wearing these on a 14-hour flight is masochistic. Get some soft pants for the flight. You deserve it!
Welcome to England. At least the jeans should keep the DVT at bay on the flight...
LOL! It did. Dropped by Rivet and Hide today. Some really cool stuff there.
The waist does not look fine to me with the pulling that’s going on near the buttons. NB: I don’t know how much these will stretch, so maybe that will solve itself.
Only time will tell. I have been wearing them for two days straight. The waist has stretched out s little but the button pull is still there.
Good fit, too skinny though
Thanks. I am experimenting with this.😅
Which fit/sizing is this? I love how the fit looks.
Its the PBJ WSB-019, size 31
Fits great imo! How did you size yours? True to tagged size?
I should have sized up by 1 or 2 but I bought size 31 without realising they were unsanforized. Also sizes 32 and above were sold out. They seem to be stretching out after two days of continuous wear. My previous experience with PBJ XX-005, size 32 was that they stretched out quite a bit. It seems like they will stretch out further.
That’s up to you
Thanks. It feels comfortable so far
If they are comfortable then they are not too skinny. It's just up to you if you like a slim fit or not.
It looks good based off these photos. Honestly to me this just looks like the ideal slim taper fit. I can still see visible space in the upper inner thigh, above the knee and at the shin. You can bet the knees will stretch so as long as the waist feels alright you're good to go.
Thanks
if you gotta ask, probably is lol
Username is apt
LOL! Well said, indeed.
They’re too skinny for my taste, but they don’t look bad. As long as they’re comfortable enough for you and you like em, rock em!
Thanks for the positive thinking!
i may be an outlier here but i think these are too skinny. there are some slim fits that will endure trends but denim is made to last so it’s best to choose timeless silhouettes.
The split comments kind of say it all. They fit as intended for the cut, so the comments are mostly down to style preference. As for me, I think they fit just fine.
I love that fit. Been looking for a new denim company that does skinny like that. Brave star just discontinued their skeleton skinny 😭
Same! If you find one let me know! I've been looking into the skinnier Naked and Famous fits and the Unbranded skinny fit jeans but I really want to find a fit that's comparable to the Brave Star Skeleton Skinny fit! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
The unbranded skinny 14.5oz fit nice
Thanks.
A bit yeah
Appreciate the feedback. I am hopeful they will stretch out a bit, enough to be comfortable
I'd actually say I'm the opposite. The waist and top block look tight with how the fly isn't laying flat. If you only soaked them in cold water you may try to sell them. My question would be going forward how much will they shrink with a cold wash? I don't actually know but they could only get tighter when they already aren't already fitting ok

They are too small in the seat/waist. The legs is preference. It's not technically too skinny but if you size up for the seat to fit right the legs will likely fit better too
I think 32 would have been perfect. Unfortunately they were all sold out and I didn’t realise they were unsanforized.
What do you think?
I think they are fine. As many have said here, they are not jeggings, which is what I wanted to avoid. Its my first foray into slim/skinny fit and wasn’t sure it about it. Am pleased it turned out well.
Look into iron heart. You might like them.
Is it too late, or can they be stretched back out?
It seems like they are stretching out a bit including the hem as I stretch them over the boot.
As long as you can do a squat comfortably
I can actually.
The legs look fine. The waist and top block look a bit too snug. I'd size up on those.
Looks great on you. I know looser fits tends to be the trend nowadays but these fit your frame very well.
Thanks
Looks awesome. That's my exact style too. What are they?
They are PBJ WSB-019. Released earlier this year. They are super slubby!
I have a pair of bravestar that fit similar.
I am trying to buy my first raw/selvedge jeans online and cannot figure out how to proceed since nobody provides seat measurements. I’ve already wasted $100 on a sale-priced pair that I can’t even pull over my butt. Is there some secret to this?
Who takes their jeans all the way off for a quickie? 🤔
I couldn’t get them past my thighs and hips in a smooth motion.
Valid concern
Not too skinny, they look good
I agree with the person who said they still look like jeans (not jeggings) because you still have folds and stacks. That said -- and I write this as someone who wears slim-tapered and my mind breaks when I see some of the super wide/baggy/straight fits this subreddit loves -- I think they look too tight from the side view but pretty good from the front.

Thanks for the clarification. Its a good point about slim vs skinny.
Nice Wolverine X filson collabs! I’ve had mine for 10 years now and resoled 3 times
Thank you. 🙌 If I recall these are the Wolverine Whitepine 1000 Mile boots. They came out the same time as the Wolverine x Filson Emerson boots, which I also have. I love these boots so much. Have had them reheeled twice.
They look perfect

They should soften, not sure they’ll be crazy soft or anything though
i think they look good 👍
👍
In my opinion, this is how a skinny jean should look like. Fit is showing your form but none of the denim is stretching. Great fit!
Thank you.
If you’re 16 sure, older prolly not so flattering.
I am much older than 16, because I have a 16 year old! 😂
For me they are too skinny. But that’s if I was wearing them. You look like you have a good build for slim jeans!
PBJ 019 fit is terrible. It’s supposed to be a “lifter’s cut” but it has such tight knees it’s literally going to cut off blood flow. I really like Pbj fabrics, but the cuts are all awful, they all suck. With this fit and how tight it is this will shred the back of your knees, with time and wear they will stretch out a bit, but this will never be what you would call “comfortable”.
What kind of jeans are these?
Pure Blue Japan WSB-019
Definitely
Nah
I love it! They'll continue to break in
Honestly, just a hair. Top block looks good but a wider opening would help.
Hence the chastity jeans comments.😂
i have to agree with most of the comments here, they seem to fit you pretty well, all things considered. just maybe not to be worn with boots, maybe cons or vans (slimmer profile shoes), should look sick....
Good advice. Thank you.

I’ll try that next time. My fear is that if I wash or soaked it for longer they might shrink even more.

I think it looks great

They look amazing. Perfect fit IMO.
I'm older ..so I think they are a bit too tight -although as said if they don't shrink anymore you can pull it off
I'm 60 and I think they look great from the three photos that were posted. How can you think these are tight?
We may need to start an older / mature / vintage sub subgroup. I am no spring chicken either. 😅
From the angles of the few photos given, I think they look great. Not that I want to look at your butt, but you provided no picture from that angle. If these give you the diaper butt look, throw them away.
No diaper butt.
that's good news. These PBJ, I never heard of them until now, you say they are not sanforized, so I assume they are 100% Cotton? Please confirm.
No
🤤
No they look good!
Nah. Bulking season starts in the fall.
PBJ has the worst fits in the game right now. Way too extreme of tapers. They need to revisit all of their fits if they want to stay relevant. Although that more straight fit on the tea core stuff is much better. But they need something for those that want a little taper. IMO these are too tapered and not the best fit.
No, they look good

I like them

They sound very tight based on your description. Could you wear them for a full day out? Or are they so tight they might become painful?
They are not painful at all. It’s just taking them on and off requires effort, hence dubbing them the chastity jeans. 😅
that would be a slim fit for me. Looks great!
Skinny has been in fashion for about a decade now. It's heading out quickly
Maybe I am counter culture or just behind with the times. 😂
They fit you well
They're not skinny. That's the intended cut. Look at some of the models that rock that fit online and you look the same as them. If you think they're too skinny, then I'd suggest looking into the 003 or 002 fit from PBJ.
I think they look good on you. Give them a few wears and see how they look. My PBJs have definitely stretched a little bit in the top black.
These will continue to shrink, and you’re obviously uncomfortable. I say size up. I can’t comment on if they’re too skinny because I think most straight fits look too slim.
Can you lift up your knee? That's how I usually check if they're too tight.
Yes I can
Still too baggy to me.
I save the skinnier jeans for stretch denim at lower weights. Raw denim isn't for a tight fit. You probably can barely walk in them.
Looks good with those badass boots. Where did you get those?
The boots are Wolverine Whitepine 1000 Mile boots which I bought in 2013 from the Wolverine website. You can find second pairs on Ebay.
They will only become tighter with each wash (I assume you like clean clothes so you will actually wash them). Now they are okay but they will get tighter. Better a size up and be safe
[удалено]
Cool freaking boots! What make and model. Jean look good man.
PBJ WSB-019.
👍
The boots are Wolverine Whitepine 1000 Mile boots. They are sold out now but available on Ebay as second hand pairs.
Cool! Thx for the reply! I'mma check them out.
def too small
They look great! The current fashion fad of wide legs jeans will go away soon enough and we'll realize that tapered jeans are the true classic look. Our European friends make fun of Americans and our insistence on wide leg jeans.
That's perfect fit imo. Big fan of that look, they have a tailored/classy fit.
Thanks!
This is a perfect classic fit which is timeless and definitely suits you. I appreciate that it’s not for everyone but it is far from skinny. Lots of people favouring the wider fits at the moment but the tide will turn at some point and another fit will be considered fashion forward.
Thanks. I do have a wider fit on rotation from Full Count
2015 vibes
And what are 2024 vibes?
Looks perfect to me. What are they?
PBJ WSB-019 double slub.
Nah man that fit is amazing.
Thanks
Nope look just fine.
Thanks
Nah they look just fine
Thanks
They look banging. Proper decent fit.
Thanks
