@Giles First reference I can find of the Beatle Busters were 2010… https://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/topic/434/ihxb01-beatle-buster-21oz-japanese-selvage-denim-indigo
@Mizmazzle See link for your reading pleasure

Well discussed guys. IHXB01 was the first go at a slimmer fit. They pre date the 666 by a little. They were ultimately discontinued because they were only marginally slimmer than the 634 and the subsequent slim fits presented more noticeably different silhouettes.
That said, the subtle difference in fit makes
it my absolute favorite. They also have a hidden pocket knife pocket inside the left front pocket which is cool. My 3rd pair ever were 21 oz Busters and I still wear them. Just had them repaired a bit at the last party. The XHS and UHR versions were limited. There’s also 18 Raw which I’m also lucky enough to have, SBG which I had and sold and a Triple Works version in a light weight light blue denim that I would love to find.Beatle moved on to a post forum life and I hope she’s well. Would love it if she stopped by to say hi sometime. Her fit pics are among my favorites of all time, much like her namesake jeans.

@Matt thanks Matt. I appreciate all those cool bits of the story. Sounds like it was great run with a wonderful cut.
I was really curious about the person herself and how she came to find herself developing her own cut. Did she have some background in design? Just an all around rad person with amazing style deserving of her own collab?
I’m always curious about the people themselves and how they came to connect with the brand and leave such a cool legacy.

Beatle and I started working together 15 or 16 years ago, she was a breath of fresh air and really invigorated the forum with her sense of fun and style.. After a while she suggested a new cut which was a little more modern than the 634. I liked the idea. So she came up with the concept, we got Haraki to sample it. I designed the patch and that was that....

@Tago-Mago …but I don’t want to put in the work or effort. How can I satiate my desires by doing something the hard way where instant gratification is so much easier?
Then, when I’m tired of them, I can throw them into the landfill or feel good about myself by donating them….(sarcasm intended)
I like the fact that isn’t a common theme here

@Tago-Mago …can I make you less bored? A philosophical discussion on the detriment of fast fashion on today’s society would be a great way to spend the day.
Or maybe I’ll just do some crotch pics in the WAYWT threads…
Either way, a win

Luckily, P does not read this, so she won't have any idea what she is getting. It's her birthday in a week, I have already bought her some "how to park the fucking boat" lessons. She is great at just about everything on SAKURA, but lacks the confidence to do close-quarters manoeuvring. I love the challenge of close quarters stuff, so don't encourage her enough to take the helm, but know in my heart of hearts that she should do more. I also know that we'd "have words", if I was her teacher. Plus, we need someone doing ropes, and I can't do that and be next to her on the helm, so best a professional teaches her.
But, yesterday, I caught her struggling a bit with her 8x20 binoculars, so i found these at a snip on eBay....

I Love it!
