IHXB01 - Beatle Buster 21oz Japanese Selvage Denim Indigo

Seul and J-IV are right that the waist won't stretch much if you wear a belt, the people who are getting 2" of stretch are getting that much because they bought a smaller waist size than their waist actually measures. However, they will stretch a bit in the seat and thighs (in my experience) because the denim stretches in these areas when you sit. So if your fit is borderline enough that you won't like it if it stretches slightly in these areas, size down one and they will stretch to fit you perfectly. Otherwise, keep what you have.

Couple of fit pics, as promised. Loving the BBs right now…

^Agreed!

Thanks guys
I love a stack as much as the next guy, but it's got to be a smarter cuff with the RWs - especially pre first wash. Kind of moved away from sneakers as I've got older too, so the 'tidier' silhouette you get with a cuff tends to work with more of my footwear.
Love these so much I'm now eyeing up a pair of IH-666Sod, but am slightly nervous about the fit (these BBs are 34). A 34 will be pretty tight to start with but I'm thinking I just go with it, right?

NO!!!!!

Sorry. I have both in 34 and your BBs appear to be a little tighter than mine. Based on that, I don't think you would enjoy the 666od in the same size. You'd be happier w/ the 36. After 9 mos of daily summer wear, my od is still skin tight. They showed up at my house w/ a 32 waist and little to no room for my balls. In fact, if you like your BB, you'd probably enjoy the BBod more than the Devil.

Iron Heart has come out with a lot of GREAT denims over the last few years, but the original 21oz. still holds its own against the best of them. It's just so damn sexy. Congrats to Qinhan, GingerMagician, and zatenm on your new Busters.

Nice fit there Qinhan. You made the right choice picking those jawns.
-
Thanks for all the feedback guys, much appreciated.
Now leaning towards the IH-555-03 over the 666Sod - sticking to the original plan to find a pair in a 'proper' black and I'm thinking the fit up top on these will suit me a lot better.

Couldn't help it any longer. Pulled the trigger on a pair of BBs in size 31. Coming from a pair of BB SBG this will be my first pair of Iron Hearts in Indigo and my second pair all together. Let's see how I like these compared to my Samurais. Funny, the reason why I want these so badly is because when I got my SBGs I also got that piece of denim and I thought to myself "I will have a pair of these one day." That day will be very soon.
