[Review] PBJ (Pure Blue Japan) XX-011 3-Years Selvedge Denim: Shaped by Time

  Hello, this is  Lislab . While many brands are hailed as the pride of Japanese denim, PBJ(Pure Blue Japan) stands in a league of its own, solely due to its unparalleled fabric texture. Renowned for its signature "slubby" and rugged feel, PBJ is famous for maintaining this unique texture while employing distinctive construction methods that set it apart from standard denim. Today, I’m introducing the PBJ XX-011 , a model that utilizes Left-hand Twill(LHT) to offer both unique fading characteristics and a surprisingly comfortable fit. Let’s dive into the detailed data of how PBJ’s "blue obsession" has evolved after spending over three years with me.

[Lislab] Archiving Fashion and Tools that Deepen with Time



lislab-travelers-notebook-leather-main


Hello, this is Lislab.

We encounter countless objects throughout our lives. I believe that the clothes we wear every day and the tools at our fingertips are much more than mere consumables.

Do you remember that thrill after a long period of contemplation before finally making a purchase? That excitement might be brief, but the lasting satisfaction and happiness a "good object" provides stay with us for a very long time.

Objects that stay, even as they wear down; Objects whose value remains, even after years of use; Objects that become a part of us, even after being repaired over and over.

Countless things come and go. However, I believe what truly matters is the value and legacy they leave behind during that time.



The True Value of Objects: Heritage & Patina


Some items don't even last a year, while others stay by our side for over a decade, soaking up our habits and memories. In particular, fashion items and tools that develop a unique 'Patina' (Aging)—reflecting the owner's lifestyle—become one-of-a-kind treasures in the world.

I tend to dive deep into the essence of every object I buy. I'm starting this archive because I believe my meticulous explorations might offer the right answers to someone else. Instead of being blinded by luxury price tags or brand names, I focus on the essence and craftsmanship of the product.



Closing: Lislab: The Roadmap


At Lislab (Lifestyle Lab), I will explore the following themes in depth:
  • Heritage Fashion: Classic items like raw denim and workwear that transcend trends and age beautifully over time.

  • Essential Tools: A curation of analog gear like diaries and stationery, alongside high-end IT peripherals (keyboards, mice) that enhance productivity.

  • Lifestyle Insights: Perspectives on developing an eye for quality and the positive impact well-made objects have on our lives.


I look forward to connecting with those who share similar tastes. I hope my records provide a small spark of inspiration for your choices.

Sincerely, Lislab
