      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.

                              Well, I chickened out and ordered a size 32 on sunday. I got my Beatle Busters yesterday and I'm quite happy. The jeans fit very comfortably, but they should probably have been a size 31 for that perfect fit when they stretch out. The fabric is not so stiff as I expected, being new to 21 oz and all, and that is a bonus. I also like the feel and texture of the denim. Another plus is that the pants are really warm here in Oslo where it is minus 10 degrees c.

                              The service from Iron Heart was quick

                              Yeah, I know the picture quality is craptacular. If you don't like it you can bite my shiny metal ass! Anyways, the other jeans in the pictures are my 3sixteens SL-100. They are about to get their first wash after six months and moved to general rotation.

                                Honestly, that's a really good fit. I also bought Busters in a tagged 32 and although the waist was a little too big, the fit elsewhere was exactly what I wanted. Better than to have a larger waist than spray-on thighs in my opinion. If you wear a belt, it's not like the waist will stretch an enormous amount and it will tighten up again with a wash.
