I'm pleased too. Thanks for the tip @den213

Considering picking a pair of these up as I love the UHR and I'd like something to contrast my 634s. These are my 634UHRs in 31, I think they are bit tight on me but some days I like a slim fit.

How much should I size up to achieve a fit like nephs? I know I will definitely have to hem the shorter as the BBs look a little odd when they aren't the perfect length.

They do look a bit snug for 634's. Look good though! Busters have a slimmer thigh than 634's so sizing up one should see you right.

Thanks neph, it's either these or another pair of 634 in UHR, haven't decided yet. I do like the idea of the Beattle Busters and a IHSH129 though.

Been wearing mine the last few days and they've developed a loud "pop"ing sound when i walk…  Quite unnerving as much as i walk.

[mikebarhoot]

Gonna hot soak em again see if it helps as they've  stretched quite a bit.

Or will the pop work itself out…

[Giles]

The pop'll work itself out as the denim softens….

[Dion]

Wear and some hot soaks will definitely help (esp. around the crotch area).

2nd hot soak. Still CRISPY!

The UHR denim gets incredibly stiff when wet. I was caught in the Rain an Tuesday and it was a pain to walk in the wet UHR for the rest of the way.

Busters on the move

Got my pair of UHR Busters a couple weeks ago. My first pair of heavy weight raw denim! Here is a quick report for posterity.

These are on the large side for me, so I did a 3 hour cold soak, then later did a 30 minute hot soak and a hot machine wash to try to get them to shrink as much as possible. Sorry, no measurements were taken, but I'd guess I got about 1-1.5 inches in the waste, 2 inches on the inseam and some pretty gnarly leg twist.

Beware of top loading washers! I was careful to pull them out before the spin started and turn the pants inside out, but it still caused some annoying streaking on the right leg. Nothing too bad, but it definitely motivates me to fade em that much harder so the streaks blend away.

Here are a couple pics:

Overall, I am really hyped on these jeans! The denim is awesome (obviously) and the lined back pockets is an awesome touch. There is an extra inch or so in the waist, and I'd probably prefer a slightly smaller leg opening, but they fit great with a belt and the cut seems like exactly what I want with denim this heavy. I probably would've been best served by the elusive 35 tag size, but this 36 will do nicely.

Getting the fly buttoned the first couple times is no joke! Break in is ongoing, but they've been pretty comfortable to wear after the first couple days. I'm looking forward to wearing these as hard as possible and seeing some great evo!

Fit looks good. These get better and better with wear and soften up a lot.

That's a great Busters fit! Congrats and welcome!
