IHxB01xRAW Beatle Buster 18oz Raw Japanese Selvage Denim Indigo
-
Hi everybody, i'm a newbie in IH denim and especially in the sizing.
I would like to buy IHxB01xRAW but i don't know what size i have to take.I hesitate between 30 and 31.
I am wearing Edwin ED-71 raw selvage size 31", denim APC new standard size 31", LVC 1967 505 size 31".Should i take the same size or one size down. I like to wear my denim with no washing and i know sometimes it's hard to wear the raw denim during the first week to have a good fit after many wearings.
Thank you very for your help.

Now that's a proper Buster fit. Nice job!

Congrats! Enjoy the journey. You might want to put them through the gentle cycle in your washing machine though, you'll get all the shrinkage out of the way now and avoid a potentially unpleasant surprise a few months down the road.

We have taken delivery of a new batch of these.
We have treated the denim to a new process which we call dry-sanforisation. This helps fix some of the instability which is inherent in a raw denim, but does not change the appearance of the face of the fabric.
We will measure and put up in the webshop tomorrow.
If you cant wait, drop me a PM…...

So is it now basically a sanforized denim? The shrinkage ~ 3% shouldn't differ much from other sanforized, but non-washed denims.

Well, we could have a semantic discussion about this.
If, I had not told you what we had done you would not believe that it was not loomstate. I did not, when Haraki showed it to me in Japan
Sanforisation uses water, our process does not. So technically it is not sanforised and looks like loomstate.
Call it what you want, I'm calling it raw :D.

Just curious about the sizing chart for these. Both say "Production Run 1" at the top of the chart. Size 30 on the top chart looks real nice with the sale on right now. Which chart is for which?
