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

My first foray into Samurai…
-
Samurai belts!!! I will never stray my a103's they are superb quality! Nothing close at the price range IMO… But my experience is limited to tanner, buco, and these
why should these need stretching anyhoo? I thought the w34 shrank down to a w34? Perfect!
