IHxB01xRAW Beatle Buster 18oz Raw Japanese Selvage Denim Indigo

[brndn]

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.

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?

They look fine to me.  But even after a hot soak they will need hemming on Johnny's Union Special 43200G.  After a shrink and stretching back out again, they will end up the size they are now in the waist…

[wunnaz]

I did warm soak my BBRAW about 1 hour today.
here are some fit pics for post-soak. ( sorry for bad pic quality )


Denim is really nice, stiff & very slubby.

I think i need to hem about 2 and half inches coz i want to do single cuff.

looking good…
