IHXB01 - Beatle Buster 21oz Japanese Selvage Denim Indigo

[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

My 634SB are w36, and i could button it up with no problem since day 1. Now i can only wear them with a belt. Would have gotten 35 if there is such size in IH.

W36 Busters should be great for me right?

yap, but will be tight for a couple of days…after that, seriously, comfy

[grundletaint]

eureka!  they're already loosening up some.

Definitely. My 634SB has became my most comfortable jeans, despite how warm Singapore is. People says I'm crazy, but they have no idea at all.

[Beatle]

the indigo is even more comfy

Def - indigo version breaths much better…

well i did eat a case of ex-lax for dinner last night.  now i needs something for the knife pocket since i can more or less get my hand in there now.

[Beatle]

make sure you stretch the pocket openings out - just shove your hands in or pull, don't be gentle…

[grundletaint]

it's not the pockets i'm worried about!  take a look at how white my hands are in those pics.  that's skin chapping from shoving my hands in the pockets.

You are kidding on a case right  :o  Jeans are looking good!

[Stokely]

It has taken me a little bit to get the pockets stretched out.  The knife slot is awesome once I could get my meathooks in there.
