IHXB01 - Beatle Buster 21oz Japanese Selvage Denim Indigo

[irishexpat]

thank you sir! I've been wearing them all evening, and the waist is already edging into comfortable territory.

So out of curiosity, should I hit this patch with some obenuafs oil? not the LP…the lightweight stuff. I'm also considering soak/no soak, but thats an internal battle I'll have to wage, I know opinion on that is fairly well divided on that for the sanforized stuff.

There's literally no point whatsoever to soak. I would also just leave the patch as is, get dat natural wabi sabi

I got mine in today. I will post pics once in can barrow my sisters SLR. My phone camera does not do a very good job. They fit great. I love the denim I don't want to take them off.

I always treat the patch with Obenauf's LP when the jeans are new, and after every wash. Personal preference, but I like to keep the patch looking nice.

^ I do the same thing for the same reason.

[irishexpat]

i think im gonna hit it with the oil…I did a few coats on my natural veg tan belt and I love the shade of brown it ended up being.

Still not sure on the soak though...leaning towards no.

Nice fit

Soaking is a complete waste of time and water, we have already done that for you.

Crappy pic alert!

But you should get an idea about the fit. It is a 34.

Edit: I like the fit. Slim in the thighs. No ass flare and not too tapered from the knee down.
The 21 oz denim feels great as usual.

[derivative666]

That's a proper fit. Looking great.

^nothing more to add!

irishexpat and daynym - Fit looks great on both, the only thing that's holding me back from ordering is the talk about the tight top block.  Just how tight are they and can you get your hands in the pockets ok?

[irishexpat]

the top block is snug, but I can get my hands into all the pockets.

Got my Busters through in 33 after not being able to fit into 32's at all. This denim feels incredibly heavy, seriously built to last.

Got a couple of crappy fit pics from my girlfriends place (Which is turning into Christmas central at the moment ha):

[daynym]

Pull em up an let em stack.

[xtcclassic]

Yes. At least an inch or two.

Love my BB's…
Esp. the little knife pocket, great for memory sticks! very soft hairy denim...

Just got my first pair of IH.  Gotta say, kudos to the guys at IH, great customer service and shipped to California in 2 days.

Nice little touch for Christmas.

Fit pic.  I think it's a great fit right now, might size down 1 next time. Interested to see how they break in.

very nice busters…

I have a pair of 23oz Lee’s, but IH BB’s are by far best jeans I’ve ever seen… IH denim is just so fluffy!
