[Sugar Mountain]

[Beatle]

[Mumbles]

[Mumbles]

Sorry, not the greatest pics, but i snapped a few before dark since i washed these about a week or two ago.

[GingerMagician]

Pics are great, especially the first two.

Lovely, subtle evo on the BBs too - is that the first wash?  How long/often have you been wearing them?

[GingerMagician]

By the way, your BBs are insane Beatle - well and truly busted

[Mumbles]

started wearing them about a year ago and they have about 8 months of wear on them with just one hand wash.  i wear them as much as i can, but it gets hot in nc sometimes and some days i'm on the golf course….too bad i can't wear them there .

Hey I need some help with sizing. My favorite pair of jeans are my pbj007 (od 005) in a size 32. The problem is that I have to sag them so they sit on my hips that the thighs aren't skin tight. Because of this the waist measures around 35" and is still a little tight. I recently picked up some 634s size 33 from self edge but the legs are a bit too loose. The top block is quite snug but by the time your half way down my thigh you can pinch an inch and a half of denim. My gut reaction is to go with a 33 buster until I read in here somewhere that the top block of the buster is tighter than the 634s. Not to mention the waist appears to be an inch smaller in the busters… That will be a squeeze but doable.  Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

[Mumbles]

I don't have any experience with the pbj007 or 634s, but my busters size 32 measure 32 after about 9 months of wear.  i wear them with a belt and they weren't tight new so I think they could prob be pushed to a 32.5 or maybe 33.  so if you got a 33 in busters i think it would be unlikely you reach a 35 waist in them.  however, busters also have a higher rise than the 634s so they will sit higher naturally.  maybe your waist is a bit slimmer where the busters would sit compared to your 634s or pbj007.  i think you would want a 34 in the busters, but that's my guess.

[Czech]

Yea I definitely don't need 35 in the waist for the busters because of the rise. The 634s sits where pants aught to and the 33 buttons up without too much resistance. Just a little tight but still comfortable enough without any stretch.

My Busters are a tagged size 33, which means they measured 32" new, and they have stretched to 34", if that helps.

[Matt]

All my other pants are a size 34, my Busters are a 34, they measure 34.  They're a pretty simple fit.

Hello.

I need some help sizing up. At the moment I am wearing a pair of 3sitxteen (SL-100X, 30 waist). When I measure them after six months of use, they are size 32. So, will size 31 Beatle Buster fit me? I don't want too tight jeans, but not loose either.

[Giles]

I'd go 32 which measure 31, but will stretch to 32

[hectic]

• 1 agree, dont size up to 32.

[Mumbles]

if you want some pain you MIGHT get a 31 to stretch to 32, but i dunno.  i know my tag 32s measure pretty much exactly 32 now after lots of wear.

[hectic]

Sizing is such a nightmare sometimes for the first time buyer, I always have such sympathy, its fucking agonising.

In my experience the 21oz will stretch readily, certainly one inch.

Not detracting from Mumbles experience but I would still go for a 31.

[Megatron1505]

Yup, feel the pain, get the fit.
