^Are they both the same tagged size or different? If anything, the thighs on the Busters look slimmer which is surprising.

Both are Size 32, my waist is 32.6" - and the size of both was appropriate after 2 weeks. I am definitely not promoting anything, but I think the 25 oz is the most stylish / classical / timeless piece of denim to buy on this planet.

Wash. Also, you are officially allowed to retire this pair and get a another pair.
I never thought I'd wear them again….then I had them repaired....they have a bit of life left in them, the journey goes on. I washed them !

Who "officially" allowed this…..scandalous!
Well, the washing's done, can't help it. Retiring is deffo no option though. As Haddtoo knows, I want them if and when he's at the point of parting with them! -
They felt really good dirty
They feel pretty good clean -
Ha! I do note the nuances here….from "really good" to "pretty good".

I agree. I kinda like the looks of cuffing, but it seems to always happen. However, sometimes it happens even when you stack:

Hello All,
Been a long time fan of Iron Heart and have a number of their incredible shirts. Finally pulled the trigger and bought a pair of their jeans. Figured there is no better way to start my collection than with some 666XHS. I've worn 22 oz. denim in the past but these are a whole other world. Excited and terrified at the same time.
Currently sitting on my couch buttoning and unbuttoning them trying to get the fly broke in a bit. I can't tell if my fingers are blue primarily from indigo or from bruising. I'm going to guess a bit of both.
Anyway. Excited to contribute more to these scholarly forums soon.
Cheers.

Welcome @BloodnThunder and respect - all in with 25oz

@Giles I'm scouring this thread for answers, but it is over 200 pages. Am I right in thinking this doesn't stretch as much as the 21oz? And the shrinkage stated on the shop page, can you suggest how much that would be? An inch for tagsize 36?
And welcome @BloodnThunder

It does stretch as much as the 21oz, but it takes ages to get there…...
i'd reckon on no more than 1/2" in waist and inseam...
So after a hot soak and a few months of wear you might end up at around 37" on the tagged 36? I hate it when jawns get too big. And I suspect the 35 would have been perfect.
