IHXB01 - Beatle Buster 21oz Japanese Selvage Denim Indigo

I think they look great, too.  But I always wonder how this happens in 8-9 months?! It must be the tropical climate, or something.  My almost 5-year-old 21oz. jeans have nowhere close to this much evo.

This might be massively cynical, but…i always get the feeling that fades like that are done largely for forum glory.

I would bet it has a lot to do with the insanely hot and preposterously humid climate of Indonesia.

Also the fact that there's been no real washes…

Hi all, I'm new to the forum and new to Iron Heart. Just took a flyer on a pair of Beatle Busters from Self Edge. I measured my current jeans obsessively and then compared them to the measurement charts. I'm an older guy with a big, athletic build. Concluded that my current jeans all measured in the 40-41" waist range. The size 40 IHXB01's on the charts were 39" but all other measurements looked just fine, maybe even a touch big.

Got them in the mail today and tried them on. It was a bit tough closing the upper button but otherwise the jeans were just about right. After an hour or two, they have begun to stretch. I hope they'll give a bit more cuz they're already hemmed and I can't return them.

Otherwise I love the denim, thick but soft to the touch. I think the Iron Heart could be my new favorite brand. Tempted to try the 634S for a bit looser fit when my wallet recovers.

Give 'em a week or two and they should stretch out to be just right. Enjoy!

^sounds like a perfect man, give it some time and they should stretch and fit beautifully.

Agree, sounds like you've backed a winner. The 21oz denim stretches 1-2-3" in the waist with wear. It's a beautiful long lasting denim that is all year round. Look forward to seeing more of you around.

Thanks all, I'm now into day 2 and can see that these will definitely work out well. I must say that the denim is amazing. I can't believe that something so heavy can be comfy already. It also seems to breathe so well, even in somewhat warm conditions. I can only imagine how awesome these will get over time.

Imagine, you cannot. Learn, you will.

sizing questing, 38 in the 634s with a little room in the thight waist is 38,39 (haven't measure in a while ) anyway what would be the best size in the beatle 38,40 and is it true from the thigh down they are the same in both sizes.

[Giles]

I wear the same size in both.  The sizing tables show exactly what we measured.
