IHxB01xRAW Beatle Buster 18oz Raw Japanese Selvage Denim Indigo

i want a pair of these so bad, but I dont think I can do the thighs.
-
Get the Vulcans- same denim, but with the wider thighs of the 634. If extra layer of denim in the back pockets bothers you, they can be removed, as others have demonstrated.
Been thinking about this recently, myself…

I sized up and the thighs were still baggy, I thought they would be tight but they worked good

I considered these but the leather is so tacky, I can't get past it
-
Nerkg I think you would be right if the leather used was some cheap BS. The leather triangle serves as a reinforcement for the pocket. It's just an alternative or an addition in this case I guess to rivets. Or I guess I mean to say I think it's barely noticeable when you actually wear them:..

glad you aren't selling. think they are a great fit for you & i had to do everything in my power to avoid buying them once you put them up for sale.

it only has to do with the starch being used for the denim. losing the starch after a couple of soaks/washes isn´t a bad thing to happen. the denim stays the same, it´s just that the fabric doesn´t "brake" as easy as it would with a lot of starch in it. also it could be possible, that you ain´t getting those high contrast fades, since the denim isn´t that stiff anymore which means it "bends" easier.
not sure why these should fade like the 21oz denim with less contrast though?!…contrast is something you get when wearing a pair of denim as long as possible without giving it a soak/wash! if you wash your pair every week/month, the contrast isn´t going to be as much as it is with a pair washed once a year!...so no, they won´t fade like the 21oz with less contrast. these gonna fade like the 18oz and you might be able to get a nice contrast if you just wear´em for a long time without washing...as soon as everything´s in place you can wash whenever you feel like it!hope it answered your question!?...

My 21 oz busters got some pretty high contrast on the combs by spraying some water behind my knees and bending them a few times to set the combs in. I'd try that. I think you're fine!
-
Yep I've recently become pretty fond of vintage low-contrast fades but pairs like rafa's RAW make me say yowza
-
Yea, I know what your saying, clearly not washing them will give more high contrast but I always thought the reason the 634s didn't fade with high contrast was because it was so soft. I just really like the look of sharp high contrast combs. Mabey I should restarch them?
not sure that this is the reason, imo you just need to wear your bottoms a lot…and long!
so i´m pretty sure that there are some 634s´s around with some high contrast combs and whiskers...the thing is that the high contrast isn´t staying forever, it´s getting less and less with every wash you do.and o/course you can restarch them if you want or just use the trick that ben came up with! if the combs are set, just keep on wearing and wearing...that´s all you gotta do to get high contrast!
