Thanks for your concern, Giles, but I really like the fit. And I have already gotten thumbs up for the Beatle Buster by my teenage daughter. 

After a weekend of pure pain I'm finally starting to enjoy my Beatle Busters. Since I have a pair of DC4001:s in 31 and am very satisfied with those I ordered the BB:s in 31 as well.

Well, the 30.7 inches/78.0 cm waist was actually 29.1 inches/74 cm. At the end of day one I managed to close the top button, but I can still feel the pain in my fingers. But after three days of constant wear things are starting to loosen up :D. Anyway, this is a pair of trousers that won't see the inside of a washing machine too often, if at all.

Fit pics in a week or so, when my belly has stopped bulging out the top of my jeans (I'm not fat, but my jeans have a very tight fit…............

@Beatle:

Parzival - yes , I treated it with Obenauf's leather oil…

Thanks for your fast answer!

@Beatle:

IHB-02, around 4 months

Hi Beatle,

Beautiful belt, and great pictures! After seeing them I ordered a tan IHB-02 for my newly purchased DC4001, should be a great combo. Might I ask if you treated tour belt in any way (wax or oil or so), or if the pictures show the belt after 4 months of plain ageing?
