About a week in busters.
They've stretched way beyond the raw-measurements -I'm pulling them up all the time already.
I expect them to soften alot more…

Excuse the crappy fit pic in crappy light.

mine stretched to the raw measurements in the waist and thigh.  I think a good sizing rule maybe to just buy the raw measurements that you want post stretch.  You'll suffer a bit for a week but it'll stretch out

Hi denim-lovers,

first of all I have to say

Great forum - great community - great denim!

Can some of you BB owners please give me a sizing advise?
I'm a size 32 in my 634S and DC4001, so would size 31 in BB RAW be the right choice to stay with the same fit in the waist?
I'm also curious if there will be a new charge of the 21oz BB made in the near future?

Cheers
Peng

Stick with the same size Peng.  G

Giles, gentle disagreement, based on my experience these stretch back to raw size in the thigh and waist pretty easily. 
question is, are you ok with the slimmer size in the legs?  They are a huge change from the size 32 634!!

But the 634S also stretch…...

[kit99bar]

I have been owned by the master!  agreed with your advice

Thanks for the feedback.

@ kit99bar, from the measurements I've got the impression that the BB are a bit wider in the thighs than the DC4001. I'm fine with those, so should be fine with the BB in 32 then as well.
Or did I mis-read something in the sizing table?

The 634S in 32 is a bit loose for me, especially in the top section.
The DC4001 is a good fit, but a bit short in the top section, so I thought the BB might be a good addition if I'm looking for a slimmer fit than in the 634S. Agree?

Cheers

Agree, and peng, i would say go with 32 as well. The Busters are quite a lot slimmer than the 634S.

My personal experience. I altered my 634SB slightly because I find it too baggy from knee down. Thigh is loose and comfortable as well. Waist fit perfect. However, for my IHxB01, i almost can't button it. Very tight at the waist, and thighs. Both are same size.

with the 18oz version I am tempted to tell you to go for a 31..but yes, 32 is safe and will give u a slimmer fit than the 634s in the same size

[peng]

@ Beatle Basically what you're saying is go for a 31 in 18oz and 32 in 21oz, right?

Will there be a re-stock of the 21oz BB?

Cheers
Peng

[Giles]

Restock of 21oz BB' in about 3-4 weeks

[peng]

Perfect, then I'll wait for the 21oz.

Cheers

Hey guys! I'm about to purchase some busters. I'm wondering whats the difference between the 18 oz RAW and the 21 oz?
I also am a true 32 waist, is it okay if I purchased a size 31?

[Giles]

The 21oz is sanforised denim, the 18oz is raw.  The raw should shrink to the same size as the 21's, but there is always a bit of plus and minus.  The raw will fade with more contrast than the 21.  Look at the sizing charts in the shop…..
