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

        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.

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

                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.

                  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.

                    Yup, feel the pain, get the fit.

                      yea i'm not saying you're wrong hectic.  i believe a tag 31, measuring 30 can be pushed to 32 and i guess i really shouldn't comment on how difficult that may be because my tag 32, measuring 31 new, 32 now wasn't very tight to begin with and i wore a belt.

                        Course man, its all subjective to a degree anyway. That said, based specifically on what Pushragner said, I recommended the 31.

                          I'm not really afraid of the pain, as long as the jeans get comfortable after a while. And my current jeans feels a bit too wide anyways. If the 31s expand one inch I think I will be all right.

                          Thanks for the help. I will have to think it over some more, but I'll probably go for 31. I'll post some fitpics if I make a purchase.

                            Hi guys,sorry this might be off topic.although i'm asking for the beatle buster for the HWDC2,i guess i can ask here still about the beatle buster.
                            i'm uncertain regarding the waist size of 36 and 38.
                            my actual waist is a 36.5+ to 37.the tagged 36 in IH is actually 35.if i take those,would it really stretch to 36.5+?or should i just take the 38 tag?
                            about taking the 38 tag is just i'm worried about the fit might change cause of the measurements on the thigh,knees,leg is quite 3-4 inches larger than my actual measurement.
                            helllp please… 😃

                                  Best answer is to measure your best fitting pair like IH does, and compare the measurements.

                                      Get the 32, not the 31… I tried to do that with my 634s. They fit okay now but only after I lost 10 lbs.

                                        Yeah, the discussion above is slightly confusing as Hectic agrees with Giles but actually suggests something different! If you want BB that will stretch out to a 32" waist, buy the tagged 32 which measure 31" in the waist when new.

                                            My general point is that the 21oz is very amenable to some stretch.
