Perhaps more than any other brand, Pure Blue Japan (PBJ) is known for their irregular, knotty, hairy, neppy denim. That means it's rough and fuzzy to the touch, demonstrating the very old fashioned method of making the jeans. This denim is human, and it tells a story.
I grabbed the NP-019, which has a relaxed tapered fit that suits my big ass and thighs.
DENIM
* 17oz heavyweight denim
* Dyed before weaving with powdered natural indigo
* Constructed from American cotton
* Feels like a suit of armor made from carpet
* Has great fade potential
* Indigo warp, undyed weft
This is the kind of denim that just has character.

DETAILS
* Indigofera leaf stamped on the butt
* Waist patch made from deerskin
* Patch depicts a guy dipping jeans in a vat of indigo dye
* Which is awesome
* Iron buttons with indigo leaf detail
* Light blue selvedge ID
It's also held together with long stitches, which is super hard to do and PBJ uses very modified sewing machines to do it. Practically no one will notice this, but it's one of the many touches that elevate these jeans.

CARE
* Everyone has different opinions, it looks like you can machine wash, hand wash, or soak
* Don't dry clean them
* Color will definitely bleed in water, wash it on its own
* Apparently they should be stored in a well ventilated area
FIT & SIZING
* I'm normally a size 32, but the 34 fit me fine.
* Will stretch in the first few weeks. They were too tight when I bought them, perfectly wearable the next day, and I started wearing a belt after a month.
PRICE
About $390 with taxes in store, but they're $290 on Okayama.

PROS
* Very solid, sturdy construction
* No loose threads, really clean stitching, even after a month of wear
* Great iron buttons
* Dyed with natural indigo
* Fantastic fade potential
* Super slubby and neppy
CONS
* Too warm for mid-year wear
* So thick that they're not great for mobility
* They'll stretch a good couple of inches in the waist, just be prepared
* Some think the leaf on the butt looks like a stain
