The broken twill construction method used on these PBJ jeans elevates the fabric by reversing the weave direction every two threads. Generally speaking, this method produces a softer denim that’s less prone to the leg twist you often find on traditional, right hand twill denim. A grey warp mixed in with the indigo weft softens the tones and delivers uniquely vintage fades with wear. Presented here in the ‘013’ Slim Tapered fit. 

Model wears 31w jeans. He is 185 cm tall and weighs 78 kg / 6 ft 1" and 172 lbs.

Important: The best way to determine the size you need is to measure a similar item you already own and compare with the actual sizing as per the table below. Do not go by tagsize alone. After an initial soak this jean will shrink 1" in the waist, 0.5" in the thigh, and 2" in the inseam.
