IHXB01 - Beatle Buster 21oz Japanese Selvage Denim Indigo

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?

^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

[LC_Miey]

^^ 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

[Finn666]

^where you from btw?

if it isnt too far away from the UK you could just buy them and if they fit its all good, if not just exchange them eh?

[madmonday]

**sorry couldn't help the jab, going back to work now & 147 is your current count

true story…actually i really thought about me, as i wrote this :D...

[pillowPANTS]

Finn, i live in Canada.. but im sure you checked that already, hence the "eh" joke lol.. im sure that the return shipping wont be cheap, so i wanna get it right the first time

[Beatle]

still backing up 36 - will stretch to a perfect 37 waist

[Seul]

Beats - I really disagree with you here…

my true waist is 37.5 and i like my jeans to fit right around 39..

You are suggesting a size 36 which is probably around 35.5" for someone who likes a waist to fit 39"… My Busters haven't stretched much btw... Tagged 32, still only measures 16.1"...

[Beatle]

I bet that´s cause ur a true 32 ?

anyways - I can only suggest based on true waist, and if that is indeed a 37, so yes, 36
