IHxBxHCx25oz - 25oz Limited Edition Beatle Buster
-
seancono, to me it definetly feels to be more than a 2 oz difference in weight IMO. I first noticed this when moving from the 666-xhs to the SExIH13. Now that I have a fresh pair of 23 oz and fresh 25 oz I can validate my intial reaction.

^^^Nicely looking Simon
Gonna get the ball rolling here with something, been real busy being on vacation. Fit pics will be taken tomorrow and hopefully posted in a few days after.
The 23 oz denim is darker I think initially, I understand what Giles said now about the tighter weave. Definitely a lot more white speckles in the 25oz. As for weight I haven't held the two side by side yet.
Tagged 32 after a 2nd soak I like the fit well enough, it'll settle in I think. I did a 2nd soak because there were a couple creases I wanted to try to soften out. My parents think I'm nuts now, even more so than previously. The rise is a little high for my liking and a hair loose in the waist but the thighs are tight, I don't think I could of sized down cause of the thighs. The fit is actually very nice I just don't like denim above my hip bones which is is on these slightly. I think the 634xhs in a 30 is going to be my perfect denim (I'm hoping for a 634 in the 23 oz denim again, if I could go back I'd buy more than one pair of the SEXIH13, but probably in a 30 instead of a 31, I'd probably buy all 4 that were produced, they are my perfect cut of denim). I'll still wear the ever living shit out of the MBBs though, I'll break them into what I want.
So here are a few pics, I'll get fit pics up tomorrow. Some are xposted from the pics t thread, a couple are different cause I didn't think they should be in the pics thread.
Goodies in the package
31x36 SEXIH13s after 19 weeks straight wear and 32x36 brand new MBBs front and back.

thanks for all the kind words!
i usually aim for something around 34inches in the beginning. got the 816 in w34 (could probably size down one), the 702 in w34, 634 in w34, bbod in w36 because w34 is off with 33 inches (hint, hint: adjust or make a pair of w35 with 34 inches in bb/bbod/bbsb).. ;5
this pair is w35.

Damn man, the fit on you is fantastic, love the huge cuff!! And great combo
On an side note, any of the Canadian brothers have their gear yet??Mine were out for delivery today, but since I wasn't home, I'll have to pick them up from the post office. If the PO isn't busy, I'm sure they'll give them to me tonight, otherwise I'll have to pick up tomorrow.
Just in time, too. I've got two holes in the crotch of my 666-XHS and a third is starting to break through.
