[Giles]

Any old excuse….............

[Beatle]

Hemi - .hope it's cool that I post this pic here as well, love it so much..

[grundletaint]

holy moly.  i believe the german to english translation of beatle buster is ballz buster.  the waist ain't no joke.  thank god for the higher rise.

anyhoo, here's my "TTS" 32, as in everything i get is size 32 and i went with the same in these.

the scoop: as reported, these bastards are hard to button.  the higher waist definitely helps and i finally got it done.  waist measures 15.5 and i need it to get to 16.5/17.  it doesn't help that i'm carrying around holiday lbs, either, so i'm a little poofier than normal right now.

but, i got them on (finally) and i'm pretty happy with it.  however, i'm not sure if i should keep them or size up to a 33.  i guess it's a matter of perseverance and waiting for stretch or going with a slightly bigger size and less stretch/wait time.  at least the GF is out of town for 4 days so i can mess around in them if i do stay with this size.

all input/opinion is welcome

[Seul]

You were able to button them up?.. Sit tight and let the stretching do its magic…

[grundletaint]

yeah i got them buttoned.  it was a struggle.  i think i'll be ok if they stretch out and sit where i need them to.  they're up a little high right now due to having to hike them up to button them.

grundletaint, I say they look great, stick with the 32, have fun stretching em and making them your own.

[grundletaint]

thanks.  i'm really on the fence, though.  i'm gonna explore the 666 and see if that may be better for me.

[Beatle]

fit looks great

[grundletaint]

the beatle blessing? damn, now i'm all confused.

eh, nix confused and replace with retarded….

much better without boots

[Beatle]

they are just tight right now, but seriously - a couple of days is all it takes to stretch that 21 oz denim out to a really comfy fit…

[Beatle]

do a couple of squads and play air guitar..hehe

[nameness]

seconded.  those look perfect.  trust that they'll stretch just to that comfy point.

@El:

Now that's a perfect fit. How did you size?

I wear a Tag Size 34 in the 634S and 666S so I went with the same in the Beatle Buster.  I do find them tighter in the waist and thigh then my 666S but they're stretching nicely.

Beatle, no worries please feel free to post any of my photo's.

[guillaume]

beatle, do you suggest buying them tight as can be then? i just picked my pair up today at seny at they look beautiful. im normally a like a 30 or 31 but these feel really tight in the waist area. wont post pics tonight because its kinda late but do you suggest sizing up ?

[Beatle]

I think I would put it this way - buy as tight as you can - and live with the pain for a few days.

General sizing suggestion

If you buy these in the same size as your 634s - you're in it for pain

If you size up 1 from your 634s size - they will still be slimmer than those, but comfy
