It is really difficult to say as I do not know where the rise of your 47's places the waist band on your waist. Let me know what the front and rear rise of them is as per…...

Hey guys, I got a pair of busters sz31 in the beginning of july not aware that they seem to run a little small around the waist. When I got them and tried them on they were super tight, kinda painful actually. The folks around here said that the 21oz does stretch and it will eventually be comfortable. I have been wearing them lightly a few times a week for a month or two now and they are still really tight. Will they continue to stretch and get comfortable, or is there no hope and I should sell them? For size reference sz31 in 666s fits me perfectly.
Thanks.

I have Busters in a 31 and the last time I measured they stretched from 30 to 31" in the waist, maybe a little more now. I found that riding a bike, whole super uncomfortable, did a good job of stretching them quickly.

Deebo, soak the top block briefly in cold water–something like 5 minutes just to get them wet. Hang them upside down if possible to get the excess water out. Put them on while still damp, but not dripping, then wear them around, making sure to do crouches (like a baseball catcher position) to stretch out that area specifically. See if that helps.

Thanks adam313, the top block actually fits spot on, its just the waist that is tight.

Hey everyone, need some advise to size my next pair of ih,(666xhs).
I currently have 666s sze 32, they fit snug, but just fine for me.
everything is great except when i try to tuck in my shirt its too snug for my liking, and also my wife says the "bulge" is a bit much for public).
So ive read that the 666xhs is a bit more roomier fit, but not by much. Should i stick with size 32 or size ip to 33?
Thanks fellas -
Thanks seul!

Hey Seul, question for you. you have size 32 xhs right. Did your jeans ever stretch out beyond original measurements after you soaked/washed. Or they just stretched back to original measurements.
my best fitting pair of jeans measure 34" waist, and im basically looking for the waist to end up at 34" or at least 33.5 after soaking/stretching.
Thanks mate -
would like to get another pair of iron heart jeans and have fit questions.
i'm currently wearing a pair of 634s, size 32. the waist still measures 32" even though they have 2 months of wear. the fit is very relaxed and comfortable(tts for me is size 31 waist) but there is more room in the top block than i prefer.
its nice having a relaxed fit, as i don't like my jeans tight, but for my next pair am looking for a "slim" fit. btw, a current pair of jeans that gives the fit i'm looking for has: 31" waist, 10.5" rise, 12.1" thigh and 8.9" knee.
i like the 18oz. indigo w/ overdye but no way the 666sod cut would work for me with the small thigh measurements. so unless that denim will be released in a different cut, this leaves the 634sb or maybe the ihxb01xod.
looking at the size chart of the 634sb the size 31 measurements look really good, basically tts. the reason for this post is i read through the thread on those pants and several times people mentioned how they run a little bigger than the 634s. plus, even with a belt, the denim will stretch, so a perfect fit brand new might not be the best thing in the long run. so if i get a size 30, i know the waist will stretch to where i want but my concern is the thigh being too small. if the thighs on a size 30 will stretch to 12+, or better yet a pair has a larger thigh diameter than the chart(11.7") a 30 should be the right size.
the ihxb01xod interests me with the slimmer fit and cool details. but even a size 32, which is sizing up 1, has a similar thigh measurement as the size 30 634sb.
my bad for such a long post. wasn't my intent when i started typing. if anyone has any suggestions i would appreciate it.
also, if a picture of how my size 32 634s would provide more info than everything i just wrote, let me know and i will post one.

I've got a question about shirts. I'm thinking of getting my brother one of the Triple Works shirts for Christmas. He normally takes a large in UK / European sizes, and probably a medium in the US. Would I be right in thinking that he'd be an XL, since I tend to find that IH comes up a size or two smaller than the rest of the world?

This is just an opinion so take it for what it is….. I am a medium in pretty much all Japanese brands and would consider myself a true medium. I take a medium in %95 of iron heart shirts. Living in the US, I only have experience with buying stuff here, but I also take a medium. I think that Japanese stuff generally runs a little shorter but that's about it.
What's his height and weight approximately?
