      But they will stretch quite easily
      And you can expect a lot from the 19oz denim. Just look at MaxP's pairs 😉

          Thanks for the encouragement fellas…well apart from Seul the wee black cloud 🙂 why should these need stretching anyhoo? I thought the w34 shrank down to a w34? Perfect!

            They might shrink a little below 34" but stretch back to raw measurements, if needed and stress is applied.

            @Friday: from all what I heard, the 710 is indeed the clostest cut to the Beatle Buster. But someone with more IH-experience please correct me. Seul should be able to do so, as I think he owned both cuts in person

                And the 710 didn't fit you too…so that should still work 😉

                  Those were actually perfect for me… Minus (wait for it!) the rise...

                    I have the Busters in 33 and the 710s in 34.  They both fit well, although I have lost a little weight so both are slightly loose.  Based on what I have worn, I think the 21 oz Busters are the closest to the 710s.

                        I think that's a good evaluation Seul. I can agree with that. Bertoni, like most everyone said, there is plenty of stretch to the denim. I can honestly still get in my size 30 s710xx because of this, but just don't care for that slim of a fit in this cut/denim. Not what it was intended to be. I realize my build is different but just giving you an idea of how much stretch there really is if needed

                          I wear 36 in everything and I find the top block of my Lot 14 710s a bit small. I keep waiting for them to stretch more, but it doesn't seem to happen. The waist is a bit small and they pinch in the groin-al region.

                          I'm sure I'm the anomaly, though, because between this thread and the thread on SuFu, everyone seems to have good luck with the 710 - that's why I bought them. Well, that and Max's sick fadezzzzz.

                            Thanks for the fit pic and info Tatman, much appreciated. I guess i'll be finding out for myself soon enough. Got a good deal on some lot 15s…fingers crossed they're what I've been looking for! I had some w36 od Busters but found them too big. Seem to be a true 34 and was told to go tts on the 710.
                            @zwer...maybe your packet is simply too big? 😉

                              I went with my gut last night and threw mine back in for one last hot machine soak, just had a feeling they were not shrunk down completely. Still just a bit damp but right now looking like it made a significant difference and was worth the effort. I'll do a revised pic this evening when I get back home. Waist and top box tightened up a bit and lost another 1/4 inch on the inseam. For once I don't consider that a bad thing. Gordon hooked me up with a pair that was over 40" raw and was actually a touch long for my tastes… Never ever thought I'd say those words

                                Good luck, TMT. I'm sure they'll be great.

                                I decided to wear mine today and after walking to work I am giving up. They're for sale. Lot 14, size 36. Hemmed to 34.5"

                                    Sorry for all the questions, but how much shrinkage should I expect on the inseam? 1-2 inches?
