When PBJ makes new proprietary denim and names it the “Super Rough”, you know you’ve got your hands on something next level. Doubled down with an overdose of Nep & Slub texture, these are easily the closest example we’ve seen to date of the now defunct XX-18oz series which went out of production due to the breakdown of the loom that milled the coveted fabric.

Take PBJ's best-selling Relax Tapered cut and combine it with PBJ's latest proprietary 18oz. denim development for the current season, to welcome the first installment in the new SR "Super Rough" series. While the texture is mesmerizing in loomstate, the nep activation is real upon the first contact with water, and the intricate texture of the fabric really gets highlighted after contact with water.

Like many of Pure Blue Japan's jeans, the fabric is of a low-tension shuttle loom, thus featuring the slubby and hairy feeling fabric common to Pure Blue Japan denim. The production of these jeans is constant through out every year in several different batches because the production output of the fabric is very limited.

*Model is pictured wearing a size 30, One Wash Denim. He weighs 59kg (130 pounds) and is 178cm (5'11") tall.

**Please note that this is an unsanforized pair of denim, and the raw version will shrink up to 10% with the first soak, and will then stretch out with wear.

PBJ the best denim in the World. Strange and unique their selvedge material. and now i m still waiting their above 20 oz to produce and release in the market.

Salam A.

Great service, quick delivery, and the best products at a very competitive price. This was my first purchase from OD, and I'm certain I'll be back for more!

The jeans themselves are amazing- they're the second pair of PBJs I've owned and everything I loved about the first pair is present here and then some. The jeans dried rough and stiff after the soak, but within a few days have softened up considerably They're immensely comfortable considering the cut is a flattering slim fit throughout. Just enough room in the top block and thighs while still being trim, and the taper is elegant and avoids the 'carrot' look of so many other 'lifters cuts'. The biggest reason I wanted to write this review, however, was to give a massive shout out to the team at OD. I initially ordered a size 32 but after *many* back and forth emails, ended up getting a size 30 raw and they fit *perfectly*. The team at OD was super responsive and considerate, took measurements of a couple of pairs and looked at some measurements I sent over of other jeans to help me nail the fit. I live near SENY and BiG and OD somehow manages to capture the in-store experience online. I'll definitely be returning for the service alone!

I am a denim collector. I collect especially Japanese selvedge. I have jeans from Samurai, Oni, Edwin, Lee, Naked and Famous, Evisu, Unbranded, Denim Demon, and various others established brands. I have weights from 12oz, all the way to 24oz. The PBJ 18oz I recently ordered from Okayama Denim has to be one of the BEST pair of jeans i have ever owned. I absolutely LOVE them. rough as sandpaper, stiff like cardboard, and raw as leather. Just the perfect blank canvass to start living in, and make memories. I am also impressed by Okayama Denim, their service, and the prompt delivery. extra bonus points for the way you folded the jeans, and added the personal touches to the delivery package, including the gift card inside. well done OD, you have a new fan. in fact if there is a way I can join a secret OD fan club (that possibly gives me up to 20% discount on future purchases) please let me know. Im interested on becoming a lifelong member. a very happy 50 year old biker who likes to dress well.

Amazing pair of jeans but kinda butt hurt I didn’t get a chup socks hookup. I did get sone free candy though! Srsly though, I was a little worried that I got too small of a size but after a 30 min got soak, they didn’t shrink that bad. They fit perfect.

very amazing denim in the world. l' ve a lots of denim before. but this jeans very superb. hopefully PBJ produce a raw denim jacket made by a same material like this jeans. i always waiting PBJ produce Raw denim jacket type 2 with snowy n slubby denim 18 oz. thanks

Jared M.

Great service, ultra fast shipping to the USA. So happy with these. Really wild fabric. Feels even better after a wash. I'm 5.10, 155lbs. Typically a 30. I sized up to a 32 Raw for a roomier fit. They are dead on.

Mohd H.

It's look fantastic and amazing

Brian C.

Customer service was extremely helpful every step of the process, especially for me as a first-time buyer. They answered my questions and were proactive with their communication.

Jinming Z.

Wow what a pair of jeans! The fabric is thick but soft, with a very rough and unique texture like the name suggests. Very satisfying to wear, comfortable yet feels substantial. The fit is perfect - comparable to Japan Blue's high tapered with a narrower knee. Okayama Denim's service is impeccable as usual. With hemming service - which is done with such attention to quality - the jeans arrived at my home (NY, USA) within a week. This will definitely not be my last purchase from PBJ or OD.

Richard E.

Great customer experience, and by far the roughest, most textured/interesting denim I've ever seen.

Calvin I.

These are so unique. The texture on these are like no other. Softer than some might expect. You’ll definitely be intrigued by this pair, it’s not like any other raw vibe but it’s worth experiencing!

Zachary P.

Wow, what a pair of jeans. This is my first venture into premium Japanese denim, and I’m not let down at all. Being someone with large thighs and a smaller waist, I always had trouble finding the right fit. I stumbled across Japan Blue’s High Tapered fit and fell in love with it, but I have to say, these fit even better. The top block + pockets have just the right amount of room without looking baggy, the rise is the perfect height, and the aggressive taper lends itself perfectly to a modern look. The crown jewel of these jeans is no doubt the fabric. The harmonious mixture of slub and nep on these SR-019s is as close as we’ll get to perfection on this side of Heaven. I have a deep respect for the heritage and workmanship that goes into each pair, and these SR-019s are no exception. As always, I had a flawless experience ordering from Okayama Denim, and I’m very thankful they provide free hemming with every purchase, and not to mention the super fast international delivery! They helped me choose the right size, and I will be buying all my future denim from them! Arigato!

Marcos T.

A wonderful crossbreed of SLB & SN!!! Simply one of a kind!!!

Pornpod T.

Fast international delivery service. Placing order on a Sunday and the item arrived by Thursday morning, with free customed hemming. Excellent service.

Marko M.

Very good rough und slubby material, with very good cut! They are going definitely to my top 3. Can't wait to see evo on them..

Paul C.

Beautiful but as stated very ruff SR

nicholo p.

Great pair of denim by PBJ, lots of texture and a very interesting fabric. Just be careful about sizing as I found out the hard way PBJ changed the sizing for this from their other 019's. You have to size down.

Mitch L.

OD shipped my order very quickly in the middle of a pandemic! Their customer service has been really helpful in answering my questions and following up after I ordered. I appreciate their attention to service and will order from them again. This is my first pair of PBJs after a decade of selvedge fandom and they are really cool! At 18oz I was expecting something close to burlap with a tough break in period but instead they are like a pair of thick sweatpants. I sized up a little since they are relaxed fit and I wanted them to be roomy so they are now my new weekend pants to lounge in. The slub & nep are as cool as I’d always read about. As much as I like them, my wife teases that they look like they were made from curtains. It’s like no other denim I’ve had before and it’s uniqueness makes me like them even more. Thanks OD!

Zamri B.

Certainly the processing, pickup and delivery are top notch! Keep it up guys! Oh, the SR-019 is absolutely fantastic! The denim is awesome, even when compare to SN-013. Might get another one in a different cut.

Jeffrey H.

Might be my new favorite pair. Love the texture of this denim.
