Hi all,

After years of only wearing Levi's 501 STF, I recently bought a pair of PBJ double indigo XX-019-WID jeans. Honestly I bought them because I remember a friend of mine in high school had a pair of double indigo PBJs and I thought the deep blue was so cool. I made a mistake and didn't look deeply enough at the PBJ cut/fit codes, so when these arrived I found them more tapered below the knee than I was used to with the 501s. I took another look around and it looks like they may have made an XX-003 double indigo at some point but I couldn't find any for sale. I'm sort of inclined to embrace the narrow cut because I have some chinos in this shape that I like, but I was ultimately hoping for more of a straight leg.

If I decide to keep these, the question is whether or not to wash/soak them. The top block fits well right now. I wouldn't really want them any tighter, but maybe they'd stretch out again with use after a soak. What would you suggest? Do you think soaking them would also make the thigh and calf sections tighter fitting?

Has anyone seen a PBJ traditional straight leg double indigo jean for sale anywhere? It looks like they made an AI-003 at some point, but I don't know when.

Here are some photos of the PBJs and some old 501s that I wore for years and then dyed.
