IHxB01xOD - Beatle Buster 21oz Japanese Selvage Denim Overdyed

[mikeyone4life]

Considering these as my next pair of denim. I want a fit similar to or just slightly slimmer than the SEXIHXINDO16 (which I currently have.) Would you recommend this pair or the IH-666Sod? Thanks for any input.

I like the buster fit but just so you know the rise is pretty damn high. Something to consider

I have the Indo in 32 and BBod in 33. The BB are a touch more roomy, and have the higher rise as mentioned above. I tried squeezing into the 666od, but it was too much for me - they are WAY slimmer in the thighs.

If you do go with the BBod, bear in mind the waist will stretch a LOT over the first couple of weeks, so don't be afraid to have it a bit tight at first.

Stay TTS though, right? I'd order a 32 if my true waist is 32?

[grandmasterben]

That's what I'd recommend

If you like the fit of your Indos, I'd say go the same tag size in BBod for a more snug fit (although the waist will initially be pretty tight), or go 1 size bigger for a similar (or slightly more relaxed) fit.

Just ordered a pair. Went with my true size, can't wait for them to arrive already.

Got my pair on Thursday and they are very painful to break in around the waist but I love the fit. Thanks Giles and everyone else for the quick shipping.

Great photos, but lets not overlook the important stats: 11 months, 7 washes. Definitely a case for regular washing!

Inspiring stuff, sibewok.

+1 to the nice fades

^^ as far as washing it depends on what you are going for

In my short time here I've tried to keep a mental not of washes/soaks vs wear, contrast, and fades.  From what I've noticed it seems 2-3 months depending on lifestyle and wear is about how long I want to go between washings, it seems to be a good balance of between dark contrasty fades and having actual indigo jeans instead of indigo top halfs and almost black lower legs yet.

Well put…I wash when dirty...it seems my mother was right...nothing wrong with clean jeans.

Thinking of gettin' me a pair of these: love my 666xhs but the rise means my arse hangs out when I tattoo and ride my motorbike (shoulda gone the mega BB in hindsight). Figured if I get the OD, at least it's basically a totally different jean right?
Dang, seems I'm already an addict after only one pair.

If I'm rocking a pair of 666xhs in a 33, reckon I go the same size in these? Anyone?

[Giles]

I would size up one.

Thanks Giles

About 4 months in. Everyday wear. They're being washed right now, will post post-wash photos once they're dry.
