Looks like a squeeze, but hopefully doable. Good luck, @superfuzz!

Thanks @sabergirl I've had unsanforized jeans that fit like this and then stretched to perfection, but I'm a little afraid with this denim, but I guess we shall see…

@FilthyBloodJunkie:
@superfuzz I could have sworn I read that the 25 oz. gets treated with silicone to retard fading. It's an interesting topic. Maybe it's just that the Indigo IH uses is better quality and that prolongs its color?
The 21oz gets a post weave treatment that retards fading, the 25oz does not…

@FilthyBloodJunkie:
I recall you saying somewhere that these have no post-loom processing…. Other than starch, I presume. ?
Starch is not applied post weave. It is a sizing agent that is applied to the warps before weaving, it is applied to decrease friction during the weave and thus decreases the chances of warps breaking in the loom.

Thanks Giles. I was way off.

After a 20 minute struggle I got the top button fastened…...fucking ouch is all I can say.

Into battle you go guys! [emoji8]

@Megatron1505 last night while I was using a pair of pliers to get the top button buttoned I thought "what the hell am I doing with my life?!"

Ok, so I got the jeans on (finally) and went out to take the dog a walk in them to have a feel of the fit, a few quick notes and initial impressions….
- The denim in INCREDIBLE, soft hand but stiff, lots of colour depth and you just know that it was made to fade.
- Through the leg they fit better than any other jeans I have ever owned, period.
- The top block is insanely tight at the moment, if I get a bit of stretch in the waist and upper thighs I will be the happiest man alive.
- Conversely if I don't, there is no way I'll be able to wear these for 2 years without dropping weight.
- I will drop weight for these as I love them that much.
I was going to wear my 25oz Samurai's for the contest, but the fit on these will be so good when I've dropped a few pounds that I'm going to choose these.
Pics as soon as I find a photographer.....

@superfuzz , I completely understand and feel your pain…..like actual pain I have lost a lot of skin on my thumb with these bastards.
Personally I think the fit of these is much better than the MBB's (I know that is a subjective comment), they just feel much more fitted through the leg without being jeggings.

@Megatron1505 This is my first pair of Busters. I'd been thinking about getting a pair of the 21oz because I love that denim and I'm not that into the 301s that I have, but then I heard these were coming out and decided to get on the pre-order. I couldn't be happier with the fit. As long as the waist stretches out and doesn't shrink too much with further washes it should be just the kind of slim straight fit that I like.
And judging from the sizing on the IH site the MBB would never work for me. To get the waist bearable the legs would be huge on me.
-
I think in a few days time, with a bit of wear, these should be perfect….but I'm going to have to suffer a little for my art
-
I can't get over how great these feel after only 2.5 days. I didn't start skin tight by any means, just not my thing, but they were still quite the chore to button the first couple times. I reckon you'll be pleased with your decision, Mega. Now people need to buy the rest of my size in these because they are seriously that great and even though I know I shouldn't and there is really no way to justify it, I still haven't ruled out grabbing another pair.
