      @LC_Miey:

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

      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?

        same ratio as waist shrinkage

              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.

                ^^ 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

                  ^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? 🙂

                            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"...

                              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

                                Nah they're still pretty tight… Should wear them without a belt more often... Perfect waist is closer to 33" but then I need to slim down a bit...

                                  hope you`re making the right steps on this one and find a great fitting pair in the end...looking forward to those fitpics 🙂
