IHXB01 - Beatle Buster 21oz Japanese Selvage Denim Indigo

For a newbie to heavyweight denim, I imagine even the 21oz denim probably feels stiff if you’re used to Levi’s or whatever. @octopus_luke don’t worry, after you’ve worn them for a week they will have softened up substantially and stretched everywhere they need to. You’ll love them.

Thanks guys.
Stiff is probably the wrong word. They of course don’t feel broken in. I’ve only had one other pair of 21oz, and those were Lee 101Z riders. From memory, they were a lot tougher.
Any wash tips on these too? Someone mentioned soaking the waistband and upper thigh on here, but I wonder if I should run them through a cold soak first. Definitely need to bring up the leg a little, so I guess a wash first is important.

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.
