IHxB01xRAW Beatle Buster 18oz Raw Japanese Selvage Denim Indigo

[jacoavlu]

fit looks good and the sweat too but the new deck is the star. expecting some action shots with a big ass barbecue

[madmonday]

yeah molested, the previous owner is a bit of a denim/indigo-phile it's no telling what he did with these busters, hahahahahha

most def action shots will be happening on the deck when i'm actually home with sunlight. was thinking of a smoker & an old school oil drum cut in half as my bbq. all that high tech stuff is for the birds 

[zwer]

They're expensive, but you could always get a Big Green Egg. That will fill both your needs.

Barrels are nice Monday, but like Zwer said the eggs that stand up are just as legit. It will give you much more room towork on your deck.  I'm obsessed with BBQ. And there is definitely a difference between BBQing and grilling. If your BBQing, you better have some pig, at least that was what I was taught in Memphis.

Hey guys.

Surprised to see not many people wearing these. Looking to take a plunge with this new run

Looks like their running small, would sizing up with this current run be ok? Im in between a 31 and 32 and Im most concerned about the thigh measurement; 1 inch is a big jump for 1 size…

[Giles]

They are small to tag size, but perfectly formed Busters…....

[madmonday]

zwer, will look into your recommendation.  thanks for the word

[brndn]

My pair arrived yesterday and soaked them immediately;
Size 31, up 1 tag size
Pre/Post soak

Really happy with these, going to be my ideal fit once everything settles/streches

Pre/Post measurements:
Waist:         15.5" | 15"
F Rise:        10.5" | 10"
Thigh:         11 | 10.5
Hem:           8 | 7.5
Inseam:        34 | 32

Great stacks already!..

Hey guys!
Never had IH before but wanna treat myself for Christmas so much!
I could not find the info I was interested in by reading  through the buster forum. (sorry guys I am bad reader  :()
Also its not clear if the table provided on a web site  for this model contains measurements before or after shrinkage..
Would you be able to advice what size to choose based on my measurements please:
Waist 34
front rise 11-12
back rise 15-16
knee 9
leg opening 8.5
Can I go for 34 size on the table?
does the table display measurements before or after the soak?
sorry if thats not the first time you heard these questions 

[Giles]

The measurements are raw.  Waist will shrink 1" and stretch back out again.  In seam will shrink about 1.5 inches, all other measurements by about 3%.  I would go with 34.

Hi Everyone,
i m very new to this forum and i just rewarded myself a pair of IHXB01XRAW today. This is very first pair of IH denim for me.
after read through this thread, i got a lot of information, great pics too.
But i can't find a case like me i think. Today, i grab size 34 BBRAW from Tuckshop, S'pore.
Waist and thigh seem ok even in RAW but i wanna shrink some inches of inseam and leg opening.
So, kindly suggest me what should i do. Thanks.

[Giles]

Well, you have to soak them and then you will lose an inch or two.  The leg opening will hardly alter at all.  If you want a slimmer opening, you have the wrong cut.

[wunnaz]

Thanks for your reply Giles,
Hot or cold soak, which one i need to do bcoz Waist and Thigh areas are just fit in pre-soak and i also don't want quite slimmer but some tapered fit.
btw, i think new member can't upload the pics, right?
