        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.

            @superfuzz You're right, I have two other pairs of Iron Heart (634S-B and the SExIH 633S) and the overdyed 21 oz. isn't too bad here, while the 20 oz. unsanforized denim is more difficult to wear.
            Thanks for being a voice of reason! But it sure is tempting.

                  Austin Texas. It gets pretty brutal in the summer, but I do manage to wear denim year round.
                  But not usually 21/23 oz denim.

                    I love Austin, yeah I would not mess with denim that doesn't breathe in Texas. I think the unsanforized 18oz is supposed to breathe less than the 21oz classic denim.

                      I think he was talking about the inseam, earlier he said that the 36 shrunk to 35…

                          @Megatron1505 my 666UHR stretched out to tag size quite fast. They hurt quite a bit in the beginning. First week was quite painful.

                            It would definitely be a challenge, I did wear a pair of 20 oz Flat Head's in the summer here once and that was tough as the denim was not the most breathable.
                            I don't know how those Thai guys manage to do it!

                              Well, if you do take the plunge, I would recommend sizing up one because you'll be washing them pretty regularly I would guess!

                                Valid suggestion, I think I'll most likely hold off and just enter my Ooe Yofukutens into the contest.
                                I don't think I could put up with 100+ degree weather for a few months in such a heavy pair of jeans.
                                Hell, I've got to work on the other two pairs of IH denim that I already do have.
                                It's just tempting see how nice these pairs turned out.

                                  You guys and heat. I work outside and wore the 23oz SE last summer and the 25oz MMBs the previous summer.  Sack up boys 😉

                                    @Megatron1505 they look fantastic.  That's the best fitting jean I have ever seen you in.  I am sure the pain in the waist is not pleasant but if you can make it through, you are going to be set…

                                          I'm going to try to wear mine through the summer and it gets pretty hot and humid in NYC.
