    I have the busters in 32 and originally ordered these in 31.. Upon arrival, the presoak fit was tight on my waist, so I ended up getting a 32 in these… After soaking the 32's they fit just right.

    Keep in mind that this denim is completely different than the 21oz, and is like rough cardboard. So if you are a glutton for punishment, get the 31's. If you are completely insane, then go for the 30's....

    Just my opinion...

      thanks EL, let me see a fit pix of the 32. Damn, I can only grab either a 33 or a 31. That is, if the 33 is still available. LOL!

        I posted a fit pic a few pages back…

        Some people have stretched theirs out after a tight presoak, so I think you could probably make a 31 happen with a little pain..

          They got the first rain soak now. Fekking stiff when wet.

              Almost a month in and no evo pics? It's like a poker game, no one wants to show their cards.

                  Considering the hassle in the Indigoroots contest there should be some seriously faded jeans around. Anyone?

                      just wear, don't compare….the fades will come naturally.

                          @AFTRMTH:

                          hey everyone, im curious to know who had the most and the least shrinking in the waist area.

                          I'm wearing a 32 in BB indigo, the waist measured 31 BRANDNEW and now stretched quite a bit to 33" because in the process i gained a few lbs and lost it. Im aware the stretching is based on how tight it is to begin with.

                          I am thinking of picking up the 634SRAW in 31 or maybe even a 30. Any suggestions?

                          Is there anyone that has the BB indigo in 32 that bought a sz 30 in these?

                          Here is an old pix of my BB indigo.. excuse the hand sign pls

                          I also have a 32 in 634S. It is a little loose, same reason why i picked up a 32 in BB

                          For what it's worth dude I'm normally a tag size 30. I got a pair of these (last week!) through an act of serendipity i believe (order mix-up but not really as i couldn't send these back!) and tried them on pre-soak. After acquiring a number of welts on my thumbs i eventually got them buttoned up and they were a nice snug fit. I opted for a cold soak (an hour and a bit) and left them to drip dry. Again i wrestled with the buttons for 20 minutes and wore them while damp. They were tight but fitted. After 5 days wear and no real trouble they fit me perfectly. I know that they'll probably stretch a bit more but they're my second skin now so i don't think it's going to be anything dramatic. Don't know what would happen if you sized up and hot soaked them but that's my experience so far.

                          For such sturdy denim (i thought i'd have to get a stepladder to climb up to the waist and put them on) they're genuinely super comfortable and i could just look at the weave and weft for ages in admiration at how supremely constructed they are.

                          Good luck with the call! I'm sure there's plenty of good advice here but that's my tuppence worth - as a newbie!

                            My pair just came in today….after about 20 min enduring thumb pain and sweat, I finally tried them on, I'm happy withe the size I got considering the fit after soak and what not.

                            I'll update as things progress.....I'm tired.

                            Oh yeah....what did any of you use to leave the button holes open during soak??  I know of using quarters, anyone try anything else??

                              I didn't do a thing.. My thumb literally tingled for about 3 weeks.

                                I probably have to get up 20 min early for work just to button up my Raws, haha.

                                      Work the button holes with the handle of coated pliers (or similar tool) to loosen. Only takes a minute or so per button hole. Fingers greatly appreciate this!  🙂
