IHXB01 - Beatle Buster 21oz Japanese Selvage Denim Indigo

[octopus_luke]

Hey folks

Getting on well with these, but I’m wondering if anyone has inout or advice on how to stretch out the top box/rise? I hope that this will naturally come with time, but I am curious to see if there’s anything I can do to aid the process. Right now, I have a bit of pressure around this crotch area, and probably wouldn’t find it comfortable to out anything in the front pockets.

The top block on the BB's is relatively well fitted by design. If the waist and thighs fit then it sounds like they are as they should be.

On the other hand these are 21oz denim so they will stretch and soften more easily than most other denim with good old fashioned usage. The more you wear them and the more you do in them the comfier they will get. Any artificial means of stretching is risky, especially in the top block.

Thanks for the message, neph. I guess they are a little constrictive in the thigh too, but I hope that will also give a little with time.

@octopus_luke no problems… fwiw, I have a pair of these cut in the 21oz SBG and they were a little tight in the areas you mention for quite a while but have relaxed a lot and fit beautifully now. The 21oz is very forgiving if you just wear the crap out of it.

If anyone is still interested in this legendary cut, Pinkomo (Finland) has a few sizes left.

Noob question but is this fit comparable with the 634?

[AdamJ]

@Heavy_blue It was listed as a 'slim tapered' on the product page with the following description: 'slightly higher rise and more fitted top block than the 634S'

@AdamJ thanks! Much appreciated
