From the brand: The
Pure Blue Japan 019 Relaxed Tapered
returns in a stunning 14oz Greencast Selvedge Denim, woven with the signature texture and depth that define the brand. This fabric is the result of Ken-ichi Iwaya’s relentless experimentation, mixing traditional indigo with a subtle green sulphur dye to create a vintage-inspired hue that shifts with the light. The denim is woven slowly at low tension, giving it the signature uneven texture and soft slub that PBJ fans know and love. It’s the perfect balance of visual character and comfort - a fabric that feels alive and breaks in beautifully with wear.
The 019 fit is one of PBJ’s most versatile silhouettes, offering a relaxed top block with a gentle taper through the leg for a clean modern shape. Finished with Pure Blue Japan’s signature details, from the blue-line selvedge ID to the Shoai leaf embroidery, every stitch reflects the brand’s dedication to slow-made craftsmanship.

Fit Notes:
Shop owner Tommy popped up to a 34 in these. That tends to be his standard starting point from PBJ. These were extra tapered, so he should have gone to a 35 or 36. We recommend sizing up twice in these. Tommy is 5'10,' 162lbs with a 33-34" waist.
*
The Relaxed Tapered fit from Pure Blue Japan offers a higher rise with room in the top block and a heavy taper through the leg for a clean, slim look.*
