IHXB01 - Beatle Buster 21oz Japanese Selvage Denim Indigo

[mr.dead]

Considering a pair of these over my old 666S jeans that are on their way back to Giles, had a size 30 in those and thinking of doing a 30 or 31 in these. The specifications for the 30's on the shop are literally perfect for me, save for the waist. At 29" with the 30's, they're about 1-2" too snug, but the thigh, rise, and leg opening for the sz30's are on point. So, do I struggle through with the 30's or pussy out and get 31 or 32? Looked into the 555 cut, but the waist would be too big for them to be the right taper style I like, and though I like the 666S cut, I'm pretty tempted to try the classic 21oz denim (finally.)

I had the same dilemma. My size 33's (which originally measured 32") now measure almost 34.5". It can be done, especially with the 21 oz denim, plenty of stretch if you need it.

Thats what I was thinking, that way I'll get the 21oz denim, a higher rear rise than on my 666S jeans, and the same leg opening on size.

Really glad I tried these on again after dismissing them as being too small at first.

Thank you 21oz stretch!

IHxB01, roughly a year and a half… Probably the most favorite thing I have ever worn to cover my legs, about time to retire them and break out the IHxBxHCx25oz.  The back left pocket is from Copenhagen Long Cut, been dipping for about as long as i have had these jeans.  The knees along with crotch and all pockets have been repaired, the thigh might get fixed....  No telling.

Damn, they look fantastic.  Wish I could get half the fades you've got going there on my pair.

[JUSTJOE]

Thank you for the kind words.  Should have mentioned, 1 and half years worn daily, and washed at least once a month.

Looks great! Pics like these are what reaffirm my love for 21 oz.  Never get how people say they don't fade well.

Just looked at some of my first post here. I think that this thread was among the first that I lurked, which makes sense considering that busters were my first ih item and japanese item really….. crazy to see how different everything is over two years down the line.

Looking at the IHXB01 for my second pair of IH jeans but could really use a bit of advice. My 634's are a 36" and have now stretched to a 37" which is perfect for me.  The only thing that I would change is the rise, which feels just a fraction too low, I'm always trying to pull them up a bit.  Anyway, looks like the BB's have that bit of extra rise I'm looking for and the 37" could work just right.  The only concern I have is the top block, which everyone says is quit a bit tighter than the 634's.  Could I ask if this is size dependant? I couldn't really handle a tighter top block than my 36" 634's, but If the 37" in the B01's is about the same, they might be ok.  Hope this all makes sense.

Did consider the 1955's but the rise might be just a bit too much.

Cheers

I wear both and like the fit of the buster better…and I'm a 36 also. The top block makes em fit better.

Good news khaki8, thank for the help.
