temps are hitting high 90´s today…these are the days when I really love the 21oz´s ability to breathe

nice picks beatle! i am considering the B01 for my first pair of IH's.. my true waist is 37.5 and i like my jeans to fit right around 39.. from what ive read the 38 (which is 37) should stretch no prob, my concern is that the thigh, knee and hem are all .3- .5 bigger than i normally like.. will they shrink that much if i soak them right away? or should i just look at getting a different model?

[Giles]

No shrinkage at all unless you buy the IHXB01RAW

pillowPANTS: I'd suggest getting the 666S in size 38 actually…

[pillowPANTS]

dammit, i really want the 21oz lol.. the pre-soak measurements of the thigh,knee,hem on the 666s would fit well.. just scared that after they shrink that they will fit much slimmer in those areas then i would like them to.. i would like the B01xRAW aswell, but i seem to be inbetween sizes on those 

[Finn666]

^just check the sizing on the 666Sod and compare with the measurements youre after, after a soak/wash. theres no more shrinkage in them at all, cuz the od-process took all shrinkage out of`em…

[pillowPANTS]

Wow. The 38's in the 666OD would be way too small. Thanks for the tip. I think i might just go for the B01's anyway. I dont think the .3"- .5" will b that noticeable in the thigh,knee,hem. Unless you happen to have a pair of 38's that are smaller in these areas Giles?

[Finn666]

^remember that the 666Sod will stretch almost to tag size in waist!
mine(tagged 38) stretched from 35 to a more then comfy 37" waist.

but do what you gotta do

No noticeable variation in the ones I have here.  G

lol, pillow, I think ur going to find the 38 plenty tight…

[pillowPANTS]

Beatle, are you reffering to the Busters? If so do you really think that they will be very tight. My reg jeans are about 13.5 thigh, 9.6 knee, and 9-9.3 hem

^^ maybe you want to go with Busters Raw instead as they stretch considerably well for a given size

[Beatle]

hey pillow - yeah, I think the 38 should fit your needs , don´t size down or anything…

it seems as tho im inbetween sizes in the BBxRAW.. the 38(39) should shrink to 38 and will most likely stretch to a 40.. which will b too big.. and the 36(37) should shrink to 36 and stretch to approx 38, which wont be comfy enough for how i wear my jeans.. uuuugh!! 

how much shrinkage should i expect in the thigh, knee, hem with the 18oz unsanforized?

[Giles]

same ratio as waist shrinkage

[Beatle]

same ratio..about 2-3%

[Beatle]

oh - and 36 it is…

[DavidH]

Seems to me the 36 raw would be about right though, if you measure 37.5 , these would stretch out to 37", that should be about perfect waitsband wise (i generally try to get the waistband to end up slightly less than my actual waist measurement, or they'll need cinching in loads with a belt not to fall down-or maybe that's just me), plus they'd have the fit in the leg you want then. Or not, i don't know. What i would say is that it's quite a forgiving cut, doesn't have any problem areas (flared out bits) , keeps a tidy sillouette still if you do wear them slightly oversized.

[pillowPANTS]

^^ lol beatle.. the legs on the 36 RAW would fit great, but the waist would have to stretch 3 inches to fit me the way that i like
