      @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  😉

          Glad you're wearing these in the contest, Mega. I look forward to seeing how they age. I'll be posting updates in this thread.

            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.

                              I was thinking of trying the 38 to get a thigh measurement that fits…and then put them in the machine and dryer to see how much the waist will shrink as it is too big. I like the higher rise on these. Any idea how much in the waist this might shrink?

                                I didn't measure mine pre wash, but they were measured at IH as 37.5". I followed the soak and wash instructions included and they came out at a hair over 35".

                                Been wearing them a couple of hours now and they are already a little comfier, plus I just managed to button them in less than a minute.

                                  I have my doubts about you being comfortable in the waist and top block over the long haul. I don't have the fortitude to do what you are attempting….but you might get a great result. Cheers

                                      Honestly mate I think they'll be fine, I've been through enough raw denim to know when to wave the white flag and when to persevere.

                                      I'll wear them for a couple of days and report back on how they stretch out, if they do go back to tagged size as described they might even be a little loose.

                                          Mega, they will be fine in the waist soon enough. I know it's different denim but I had the same with my mbb's last time around. They left me bruised and bloody but after a week or so they had stretched. Look good and will only get better.

                                            @Broark If you live in a warm climate I don't think these would get much wear, just my two cents.

                                            @spitfiredealer good to hear. Mine are really squeezing my waist. But it's just day one.
