IHxB01xOD - Beatle Buster 21oz Japanese Selvage Denim Overdyed
-
Ok. Just got a pair of BBODs through (thanks G&P!). I take a w34 in all other IH jeans (634s & 634s-b) and they're a bit of a squeeze to begin with. Went with a W36 in these as I thought a w33 would have been way too tight (actual waist 36). An ACTUAL waist 34 would surely have been absolute perfection. Everything looks great except the crotch seems well low when they hang on my hips as I like jeans worn. I know the rise is higher and maybe that's why. The fact that they're 21oz denim might also explain why I notice the crotch hang more than with other jeans. Anyone else who sized up experienced this? I have to say everything else I LOVE. I think the taper is may be more to my liking than the straight leg.

Weird. I don't really go for the grandad look (trousers pulled up under armpits). Hope the hang doesn't force me into it
Wondering if I should try and sell these on and bag a pair of w34s?! Still undecided.
Just out of interest, anyone out there interested in a brand new pair of BBODs in W36 L34? I know it's probably not the right place…sorry in advance mods if that's the case. -
I have no idea why you'd think I was impatient G?! ??? Yeah I've been wearing them round the flat and think they're keepers. I really do love the cut and did the right thing going with a 34 inseam. Not being able to really go TTS (actual 34 waist not available) I did hesitate in choosing the w36 over the w34. I may yet purchase a Buster indigo in w34 as well to see if I like a slimmer jean. We'll see how it goes. Thanks for the reply anyway G.

Bertoni, I sized up two on my BBOD and I love the fit. Went with TTS on the BB RAW but I hope they are not much different in fit because the slouchy fit is really how I wear jeans. Don't hurt me Injun!
Hope they turn out ok for you Kit. I can't believe what a difference a day (or 7) makes. I absolutely LOVE these jeans! Best cut i've tried I think. The crotch has softened so don't even notice it anymore (as you said G). Seriously thinking about selling my BNWOT 634S now so I can cop the Indigo Busters too.

after a long skirmish in my mind what to decide between the indigo version of busters and the overdyed…
finally I've made my decision! Thanks to Beatle for helping me to decide on twitter not long ago
man I love these more than I could ever imagine… (no hyperbole)
I love the denim.. so beefy, yet very soft..and they look so tough.. like a steel..
sorry for the headache..thoughts
?starting today, I'm gonna tame this beast to be my loyal little puppy

This thread needs some loving
Here is my BBOD at some where over 5 months. Not much wear time. Mostly weekends only.
They are currently drying after I gave them a hand wash to rid it of the mud from today's cycling trip.
