I’m about to order a pair of Bravestar 21oz but want to make sure about the sizing.My two pairs of Bravestar in 21.5oz. The first are 4 or 5 years old, a few soaks. The second are 4 months and just had their first soak.
I’ve 7 pairs of Bravestar and don’t have any incentive to look anywhere else. Great value for raw denim.
The heavyweights are my fav. I also have their double black in 21.5oz.

In Levi’s or others pants I’m typically a 34. With Bravestar I go 33. When they arrive they are stiff as hell, and the buttons are damn near impossible to do up, however with time loosen up, and the waist stretches and gives. The 33 ends up fitting me perfectly. I get the 21.5 in true straight. I have other pairs of 33’s in their narrower cuts and they are tighter across the hips however.I’m about to order a pair of Bravestar 21oz but want to make sure about the sizing.
I’m normally a size 32 but looks like they run with vanity sizing and the size 30 or 31 have my numbers more closely.
Do you take same size in Brave star than other brands or size down? cheers.

What's your wash routine on these?View attachment 315468 Today i wear my custom straight leg 19oz diamond quilted double knee, i can see on precisely 2 diamonds quilt there's some fade hahahaha, hoping one day it would be showing diamond pattern allover... in long distant future.
It is sanforized, so i washed once after wearing it about a month to get excess dye out, and ever since I just vacuum clean them whenever I vacuum clean the house. Spray antibacterial on the inside, I hate to wash it since it has quilted padded leg and double layer on the seat, take very long to dry, i wear them to dry the 1st time, took many hours in wet pants through it, much longer and felt worse than my other raws worn wet to dry.What's your wash routine on these?
Interesting. I'm sure you have thought of this, but perhaps you could find your diamonds faster if you soak the jeans in hot water or cold water once a week, or even once a month maybe wear for one hour when they have dried to damp to set the creases. Regular washing would probably shrink them too much, but soaking could work. I have been experimenting with denim for the last year or so, I also am impatient with drying, but I found that if I run the the ventilation in my bathroom while the jeans are drying and put a fan in there too they dry much faster, can set it before going to sleep and wake up to dry jeans. I am sure the indonesian climate makes air drying more complicated, but i am curious if you have anti-humidity measures in the bathroom (this is common in the US).Washed

This is my Gustin experience! I have 4 pairs almost new sitting in a drawer. Beautiful fabric, but uncomfortable for me to wear- guess I should’ve sized up.It took me a while to learn this but it finally got through my head that jeans shouldn't be work. If they don't fit they don't fit. I do not subscribe to the "soldier on" mentality at all. I have many pairs of jeans in my closet I never wear now because my balls get crushed by the rise that I sized down on. For me, if jeans aren't comfortable day1 after the first wash they're ill sized.
What is everyone's recommendations for straight leg five pocket cord (no stretch) that won't break the bank?
Hey Brother, I've been wearing a pair of Bravestar 21.5's for about three weeks now, my normal Levi size is 32 also. Tight at first, but stretching out nicely. I'll follow their washing directions to a T...I’m about to order a pair of Bravestar 21oz but want to make sure about the sizing.
