              38 and Tom and Haraki did a brilliant job.  The measurements are to all intents and purposes EXACTLY the same as the measurements for a size 38 IHXB01 (which is what I asked for).

                These are a one washed 38, currently measuring a shade over 37" in the waist (and I literally do mean a hair width), I could probably have done a true 36 waist, but as they would have been 35" one washed…..not a chance. They badly need hemming (currently triple cuffed), but I think that once they settle they will be perfect.

                This is my first try of the 25oz denim, and I am really surprised by how soft it is, compared to the 23oz these were comfortable straight away. Although, Seul was right about being a bitch to button up  😠

                Also, please be aware that the production version of the MBB will have black arcs and W.

                  Look great, but I was hoping the waist matched the tag size as I can't size up in these without the legs being ridiculously baggy. In absence of a car jack, I'm going to put mine in the tub, put my right foot inside the waistband and pull for all I'm worth.

                  Hoping Doug can recommend some exercises for me in preparation.

                    They will stretch an inch, so a bit of pain for a perfect fit  😉

                        This is a bullet from the deposit page:
                        NB: The sizing in the sizing table, is our best guess. Please choose your size assuming we have guessed actual size accurately. Once the jeans have been made, we will publish actual measurements and allow you to change size if necessary

                        http://www.ironheart.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=2&products_id=372

                        The 38 in the sizing table measure an actual 37.

                          Yep, I was definitely aware when I ordered. I had my fingers crossed that the waist would be a bit bigger than advertised. Figure the higher rise will also help. I'm not complaining - ordered with my eyes open.

                          That said, my other stretching option is to have a Toronto meetup where we all grab part of the waistband and pull. Between CLJ, Nate and me we can get these babies stretched out no problem. I will provide beer. There will be pics.

                            I am pretty sure they will stretch reasonably easily…...

                              I'm not worried. I was hoping they'd be as easy fitting as my 666-iXHS from the off, but I don't mind a bit of suffering. We'll have the meet up anyway, of course

                                I just smashed a large kebab wearing the samples…....might need to do new waist measurements in the morning.

                                  If you want a real stretch boost a half dozen pints of Guinness should do nicely..

                                      They look great, Gav - you must be well pleased.  I'm pretty psyched myself, especially as I failed to spot the original spec of black arcs and W… 😉

                                            Hi SD,

                                            I can't really comment on Iron Hearts exchange policy when it comes to the contest jeans, but registering with another pair will not be a problem.

                                            What I would suggest doing is taking a pair of your existing jeans which fit you well, and comparing them against the measurement table. Giles has had a sample made of the MBB's, and the measurements have run exactly true to size.

                                            Thanks
                                            Mega

                                            Hi mega thanks for reply,actual I will keep the Mage beatle buster even it s not fit well for me,I just want buy another pair jeans if it s happen and use this to do the contest,I had Checked measurement table before I ordered the mega Beatle buster ,but still worry it will comfort for wearing or not,so I just don't want break the contest rule thank u
