IHXB01 - Beatle Buster 21oz Japanese Selvage Denim Indigo

[Sugar Mountain]

The advice usually given in these situations is to measure the waist of your favourite fitting jeans (and follow the IH method) and then buy the pair with the nearest measurements. This is better than buying tagged size, as it varies a lot.

Don't worry about being annoying. Everyone here wants you to get a pair of jeans you will love. I'm at a year in my Busters and have nothing but good things to say about 'em.

Thanks.  I guess I'm gonna try the tagged 33 size and see how that goes.

Do not try…measure and compare.

If your best fitting (not too loose) jeans are 17,5 at waist that suggests someting around 34/35 waist...

Are your tagged W31"  which measure 17,5 fitting loosely or snug? is the rise same as in Busters?
If these jeans you say fit well at waist, W33 Busters might be very tight at waist for you.

Isquash, http://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=2835.0 is how you measure the IH way. It'll take you 5 minutes to do and ensure you get the right fit.

Thanks guys.  My other W31 jeans fit comfortably but need a belt with them.  Since these 21oz stretch a lot I guess I shouldn't be worrying too too much.  I just don't wanna mess up after just messing up my 666s.  Now I just gotta successfully sell those off and buy these busters! haha

Welp got my sz 33 in yesterday.  I really like the fit.  Was going for a more relaxed pair than my other jeans but still slim.  The waist is a little tight but wearing a belt to keep it around this.  One question, will the knee down part settle and look slimmer/less boxy?  It doesn't show it too much in this pic but the stacks are kinda wide and the calf/shin area sticks out a little.

That was one of my issues with the Buster cut, as well. It's something you'll just have to embrace for a while.

I hit the one year mark for my Busters at the beginning of June but haven't had the chance to post up evo shots until now:

Machine washed with Bronner's at the 5, 8, 10 and 12 month marks. Now enjoying a well-earned rest.
