IHxBxHCx25oz - 25oz Limited Edition Beatle Buster

[sirxlaughs]

Got mine today. They are awesome (will post pics soon). The sizing is weirding me out. I had tried on a pair of sz 33 IHxB01, and they were way too tight. The MBBs in 34 are a bit loose. Going into a nice, hot soak to see if a little shrink will make them just right.

Really looking forward to seeing more pics of these. I'm strongly considering the second run. I like the unsoaked sizing; that's what's cementing it for me.

My thought is that if I didn't soak, and just wore them until they needed a wash, that they would stretch out a bit; and then wouldn't shrink back down all the way, once washed. Am I way off base here?

[Giles]

Nope…..

[seanocono]

Sealed it. Thanks, G.

Just took me 30 minutes to get my samurai a103 belt in these stubborn bastards. Any one with a wider than usual and extra thick belt….. HAVE FUN!!! I'm winded now

I did warn those lunatics who wanted a 2" belt with their MBB's, but does anyone listen….....

Or read…...

I'm curious to see how the indigo arc's look over time. I'm assuming it will fade like the rest of the denim will?

Just finished the night shift and arrived home. Finally, i can try my MBB well. i found out the leg opening is quite big, hopefully a hot soak might help to shrink a bit. when i compare to my BBRaw, MBB's back rise is higher. this is very first pair of this much high waist denim for me.
Hi G, TW type 2 's fit also perfect. Thanks.
will post the fit pics after a soak in coming weekend.

Great…....

Yes, 2" will not work 1.7" was a real effort

[summ3rhays]

Love the presoak fit, but I think a little hot soak shrinkage will make them perfect.  Seriously the coolest jeans I've owned.  It's going to take some time to get them broken into a sport bike position.  I'm expecting sore legs for the next few weeks.

Love the shine of the denim and the blue of the stealth arcs.  Well done.  Couldn't have imagined it when I preordered last year.

Busters just showed up at Casa de La Zhivago!

The UPS dude said "looks like you've got some British clothing."
Z said, "Japanese actually, just came through GB"
UPS dude, "well that's just ridiculous"

I then closed the door.

Hahaha priceless, love it

My UPS man said, "You're like a girl with her purses with all the clothes you order."  I was not amused.

Slap him with a purse next time haha man you guys have funny UPS men.

Great purchases everyone, lots of fun in em

[Megatron1505]

Fit looks good Brooks.

[bagley920]

Thanks Gav. I think I need a larger cuff but we'll see how they turn out after the soak.

Funny thing, your handwriting on the pocket bags looks almost like I wrote it myself!

lol.. I forgot what I bitch this denim is.  I dropped them in the tub before I ran water in it and they scraped blue on the sides like a crayon.  We'll have to see how well my decision to go with the full 37.5 inseam (i'm happy with 32 or 33) turns out
