IHXB01-25 - 25oz Beatle Buster
-
Agreed on the fit being spot on & the fact that the different denims have a huge impact on the fit. I've tried BB's in so many different denims in the same size & they were all very different
-
True that
3 pairs I own are unique to the material….might take the MBB'S to work next -
i wish i could wear these but i can not shake my middle age gut & so it makes these not the most comfortable pair for me. i do admire everyone's fits, nice pair of jeans
-
I have these in 31…blessed with no middle age gut
but like these the least of the 3 BB's I own...I'm sure that will change once I bust'em down...just have to give up my 666 -
It's official…these have become my next work pair. I have a few weeks on them since putting down my 666xhs. Enough ink has been spilled on the fit.....I'll post a fit pic when they settle...semi retirement pics of my 666's to follow.
-
Starting to like these…..about six weeks
Check the stretch, measured 30.5 new…now 34 !
This is not from wear! This brand, as most look better per portion wise if I start small and stretch to fit
-
Damn man, that must have been a painful couple of weeks. I went up a size on my pair and wish I hadn't but I was a bit concerned about the waist size in the original run.
-
These are from the original run. I was also concerned about the 30.5 waist and high rise seeing how I don't exactly have a six pac. The top block was more of an issue than the waist, which I stretch with a tool I use in the shop. The stitching on the back pocket gave way on this pair and 666's in the same spot because of a tight top block. I have back pocket stitch runoff. I stretch all my iron hearts before wearing. I'm not that tuff
or patient. I can wear these things and like them but will never love them. On me, the knee is to wide , this could change with time as they should drape more with age. I am ;D. My 666xhs didn't have extra material to drape but softened up nicely. I will to beat the snot out them. I'll get a up fit pic soon. -
12 weeks, give or take. This pair gets 5 to 6 days of wear per week. NO washes two hot soaks. I'll try not to hit these with soap.

The fit
-
hello everyone
I just noticed that I did not have a reinforced crotch seam? I thought it was normal because of the thickness of denim 25oz
I saw that the other did.
thank you for your answer -

Fresh off a weekly soak. No washes
-
About 8 months. No washes, weekly soaks. These are my work pair. 5 days a week only. Keeping the dirt out of them is helping them wear better than my 666's which were washed monthly. Time to get them to SE for a crotch repair

Giles/forum, I need your advice.
Edit: I am glad it's the middle of the night in the UK and nobody's read this yet… I got the difference in sizes confused and was talking about sizing down. (A size 40 is a 38 and a size 38 is actually 36). Please read below.
Now that my 25oz 666-xhs are really broken in; I am having a problem with the waist being too loose (2 inches) and the thighs still being slightly snug. The waist on my 666s is measuring about a 40 now (for a size 38). This means that my pants are always falling down and perpetual "plumber's ass" when I bend or sit.
Since the cut is more room roomy in the thighs in this MBB (the fit in a 38 is actually a measured 36 and the thighs measure a little bigger than the 666), do you think a size 38 would work? Also, do you think the little extra rise would help to alleviate my plumber's crack?
I was going to try a different cut in another denim, but I love the 25 oz denim too much to give it up. Also the blue arcuates make me really want these.
Please help. And thank you for the advice.
