finally a countrymen welkom

[Scoobersti]

Hi Everyone,

I realized that I never posted in this thread after I joined (actually I've rarely posted at all, I've been lurking).  I'm the guy who is helping Jimmy with some of the translations for the Boss Talk posts, I usually only do the posts that Mr. Haraki makes about clothing due to time restraints.  If you guys have any questions or comments regarding the translations please let me know.

A bit about myself.  I'm a Japanese guy originally from Japan but, have been living in the US for 22 years now.  I'm into all kinds of Japanese and American clothing, but mainly military, outdoors and workwear.  I don't have a very large Iron Heart collection (pair of jeans, couple of shirts, couple of jackets and a belt), but the pieces I do have I absolutely love and if my finances allow I'm looking forward to getting more pieces in the future.

hi guys, newbie from Canada.. been browsing for the last month lol.. hoping to grab some IH's soon, just tryin to figure out what will fit best  :-\

[Giles]

Hi there and welcome.  Ask away, you'll get loads of advice.  G

[pillowPANTS]

sounds good.. ive been looking at the Busters alot and also the 666s (looking for straight/slim straight leg).. now my issue is that im kinda inbetween sizes for the busters  my actual waist is 37.5 and i like my jeans to measure 39 and have a 9-9.2 inch hem(leg opening) i dont own any IH's yet so nothing to compare to.. which do you suggest i get and in what size? thanks

[elclintor]

Keep in mind that the denim will stretch..

@elclintor:

I am aware of the stretch, that is why im not sure which to buy. I also like the BBxRAW but i am worried about the shrink and stretch lol. I just really want a pair of either BB or 666 and was hoping that someone could use my measurements and suggest one that would turn out great for me

[elclintor]

Ok, I have the 666S size 32. They were around 33" presoak. They shrunk to 32" with a hot soak. They now measure 34".

Hope this helps!

[pillowPANTS]

That does help elclintor. The 38's should work for me. Should shrink to 37-37.2 and most likely stretch to 39 no prob. Did u find that the thighs shrunk aswell?

[kit99bar]

maybe try out the BB in the 21 flagship denim.  You can compare thigh measurements directly to your current favorite jeans.  Giles measurements were 100% spot on for me (amazing seriously) and I got the exact fit I wanted.  LOVE my BB ODs
