        hey got my first pair of BBs yesterday but way too tight i could not close the top button  😠
        i am going to exchange but would like some advice in 6' and weigh about 185lbs i normally wear 33-34 ordered 33s they like i said were wayyyyyyyy to tight in the waist but fit perfect everywhere else in debating what size to get now I'm worried the 34 in this cut will be too tight still but there is no 35 and I'm worried the 36 will be too big. the 33s i could get all but the top button closed and i know they will stretch 1~2 inches so do i gamble with the 34 and some stretch? or just go to the 36???

        P.S. is it normal that the pocket openings are super tiny? i could barely get my hands into them. Do the get larger with larger sizes?

        Thanks for any advise and hope to become a larger part of this forum

          I have the 34… I usually wear 34… my BB’s measured 33’’ when new, but they stretch so much I have to wear a belt…

          My personal advice: if they fit everywhere but the waste, keep them. If you wear 33-34 and you got 33 than they currently measure 32 now, but they will stretch to 34 (+) to fit beautifully like an indigo long staple cotton glove. If you do size up though, 34 will do the trick. I would say there is no reason to go as big as 36… Pockets are tiny on my BB's too… Maybe Japanese people have small hands?

          BTW: nice evo unfairgunfight

              Yes, I'd go with 34. And I too noticed the pocket openings are small-ish across all models of IH jeans.

                It's done on purpose to make the fit more flattering.  There are 2 exceptions:  1955S and IH-634S-V

                  my 34 which was 33" is now 34,5 and I do wear those with a belt.

                  why so serious?

                    Cool, that’s good to know… yes, my BB’s are the most flattering cut I’ve ever had on. Also no pocket fades… My Lee’s have massive pocket fades. That being said might also have to cop the 55’s…

                                    Hi,

                                    Just thinking of buying my first pair of Iron Hearts and I'm really liking the IHxB01. My current pair sizes in about 91cm (35.8inc) in the waist and is a bit loose. I saw that the 36 has a waist of 88.9cm (35inc). How much will it stretch in use? Thanks for the help!

                                      If you can endure the initial pain an inch stretch should be possible within 2 weeks of wear..make sure you compare thighs as well…

                                        Hello guys here are my BBs that are 2 years old probably with 1 year of wear. Several washes! I have a quick question that really doesn't pertain to this particular pair. With every pair of jeans I've had I've had problems with crotch rips but they only occur like 1+ year down the road. For my 9634z's I've worn them about 10 times and I have a fatass crotch rip (Will include picture). The 9634z's are also my most loose pair of jeans as opposed to my others. It should also be noted that I wear my pants a little below waist just because that's what's comfortable for me as opposed to directly on my waist.

                                          what kiya said on sufu makes the most sense imo:
                                          @kiya:

                                          That is very strange.  Those kinda look like they got caught on something because of how there are multiple areas where the denim tore.  Also, from the way the yarns are sticking out it looks like they were cuts and not from being worn down over time.
