      Oh and zatenm: always wear a belt with it. As you should, when wearing jeans, but it also of course prevents from any unnecessary/ exuberant stretching…

        Thanks for the helpful feedback guys  🙂

        I cant post fit pics unfortunately. My full length mirror was recently smashed (luckily I'm not superstitious!) but to give you a good idea: my fit looks very similar to the comparo pic of Beatle vs 634 on the BB threat. It's also a bit beefier than the pics of G. wearing the BB (same thread), which looks slightly slimmer on the thighs and calves

        I'm concerned because I read several times that some IH jeans do stretch up to 2.5 inches! Also I've just noticed that while the front waistline is as described before, I can slip my palm very very easily under the back waistline. Th fit is great now but if it stretches that much then I wont be happy with it. I'm assuming  those who reported that much stretching wear belts too, no? (I always do)

        Shit this is confusing… Not sure what to do.... 😞

          Seul and J-IV are right that the waist won't stretch much if you wear a belt, the people who are getting 2" of stretch are getting that much because they bought a smaller waist size than their waist actually measures. However, they will stretch a bit in the seat and thighs (in my experience) because the denim stretches in these areas when you sit. So if your fit is borderline enough that you won't like it if it stretches slightly in these areas, size down one and they will stretch to fit you perfectly. Otherwise, keep what you have.

            Good point xtcclassic. I think I'm gonna hold on to these based on all the feedback. Besides shipping cost turned out to be 80 usd and that's jut one way!!  😞
            I'll post some pics and a mini review next week! Thanks for all the help!

                    Thanks guys 🙂

                    I love a stack as much as the next guy, but it's got to be a smarter cuff with the RWs - especially pre first wash.  Kind of moved away from sneakers as I've got older too, so the 'tidier' silhouette you get with a cuff tends to work with more of my footwear.

                    Love these so much I'm now eyeing up a pair of IH-666Sod, but am slightly nervous about the fit (these BBs are 34).  A 34 will be pretty tight to start with but I'm thinking I just go with it, right?

                            Sorry.  I have both in 34 and your BBs appear to be a little tighter than mine.  Based on that, I don't think you would enjoy the 666od in the same size.  You'd be happier w/ the 36.  After 9 mos of daily summer wear, my od is still skin tight.  They showed up at my house w/ a 32 waist and little to no room for my balls.  In fact, if you like your BB, you'd probably enjoy the BBod more than the Devil.

                              I had 34 In the 666-OD holy shit were they tight, like jeggings. I'm normally a 32-33 waist.. I had to sell them. My advice to you would be have Giles measure because they vary

                                  Iron Heart has come out with a lot of GREAT denims over the last few years, but the original 21oz. still holds its own against the best of them. It's just so damn sexy. Congrats to Qinhan, GingerMagician, and zatenm on your new Busters.  🙂

                                    Nice fit there Qinhan. You made the right choice picking those jawns.

                                      Thanks for all the feedback guys, much appreciated.

                                      Now leaning towards the IH-555-03 over the 666Sod - sticking to the original plan to find a pair in a 'proper' black and I'm thinking the fit up top on these will suit me a lot better.
