    ^ my 01s in size 29. Can't really tell from the pic, but they were skin tight in the thighs so I had to get rid of them (unfortunately).

    Question is, if I go for a 29 in the raws, will I get that bit of extra room I need, or will they shrink to the same dimensions?

        I got my first iron hearts!

        This might sound like a very stupid question but…
        I soaked them on saturday and since then they have felt very hairy, how long will this last and are they supposed to?
        I ask this as I dried them on the radiator rather than hanging them up somewhere to let the air get to them despite remembering that this was the the advice given somewhere.
        I hope its just down to the cotton in the jeans.
        I'll give some comparison shots to the other kinds of denim IH sell (i got hemming scraps from Giles) for good and quick answers!!

          The 18oz raw denim is designed to be hairy and slubby, that is why they fade with such great contrast.  The hairiness will disappear with abuse….

              I would love a pair of Beatle Busters either in 18 oz. or 21 oz.  My only concern is that i really cant have an inseam any shorter than 35". I just bought a pair of DC4001's in size 31 and they are a perfect fit with about a 36" inseam. They are perfect in the waist right now too and I'm hoping they dont stretch much (I think my true waist size is 32 but i seem to be able to wear 31 sometimes). Anyone have advice on whether they think I would be able to wear the BB's considering the shorter inseam. And also size 29 or 30 in raws? and size 31 or 32 in 21 oz? (I have scrawny legs)

                size 30 in the 18 , size 31 in the 21oz

                go for 18oz, inseam will shrink to 35…

                  Try this after the first soak while still damp. "The one leg dead pull" - take on footwear (i recommend clean with a non slippery sole), lay the jeans flat on the floor. Place your right foot (unless your left-handed) right on the spot under the crotch as if your foot was a tape measure (measure thigh size), and pull all you can.
                  One leg at a time.

                  With a little luck and muscle, you can actually pull the inseam longer then it originally was, even when they dry up.

                  Good luck

                      Just after a bit of advise please. Thinking about purchasing a raw pair of busters but my only niggle is how slim they are. Looking at the measurements they don't seem much different to the 634S but from reading comments they obviously are, just how much slimmer though? I'm currently loving a pair of 634S in a 31 but at 6ft with skinny legs are the busters going to make my legs look like a pair of drain pipes?
                      Cheers in advance

                        Been a while since I've been on the forum do to work. Here is a quick pick from my recent travels to Big sir wearing the BB raws.
                        they have become my favorite jeans.

                        and a couple of action shots while I was back east working
