weird example..the 33 is one wash and I think that´s why it is a little more snug. unless u have washed ur hairline hickory already..

but - generally speaking - and that´s why ur example is not typical

workshirts - slightly "boxier " and shorter than western in the same size, and yes, due to the fact that they are supposed to fit differently

[Giles]

And the IHSH-07 and IHSH-34 came a larger than all other shirts for some reason.

[DrPat]

Is that the latest run of the 07 you are talking about. I have one from a few years ago and fits like a typical ih shirt. In comparison, the 34 is quite a bit larger.

[Giles]

Latest 07 and 34's seem to come up larger…..........

@Splattered:

My GF is now interested in trying out something like IH or TFH… but she has a bit a junk in tha trunk hehe so we're wondering what model would best suit her body type? I am totally clueless on this one.... her waist is 34, hips at the widest are around 45-ish... and about a 29 inseam. Suggestions? She is going to the gym with me and is wanting to lose weight but still wants to move forward on this right now...

Alright spoke to Kiya and some other people… trying out the balders, hopefully they work out. She is extremely excited. First GF which has actually taken an interest in my interest for this sorta thing. Should be interesting. heh.

@injunjack:

anybody know where to get PF Flyers Center Lo (re-issue) Color Navy in EU and for reasonable price?

Can't get them locally, and shipping from States is nowadays damn expensive (at least shops are…)

(shoes .com has them, and ships intl, but their shipping rate is high and they for some reason also charge customs+ VAT, which is odd, I'm sure I'll have to pay that when the shoes arrive...)

shiiite, I hate living in an uncivilized country. Seriously thinking of giving up dayjob and become a fullday importer or odd drygoods from abroad...

any use IJ?

Thanks Geo, I'll keep the link, at the moment I have things covered and Flyers should be flyin' this way already.
(thank god for weak USD)

question on Iron Heart special order jeans:
I know if we contact Giles on a specific inseam, they can make that inseam for us from the factory (e.g. ask for a 40 inch inseam).  If I ask for a 32 inseam, does that mean it's created from scratch as a 32 with no hemming?

[jacoavlu]

I'm just a dummy
But aren't they all hemmed?

[Beatle]

yup, jaco..no way they could slow down production by making different inseams

[Giles]

Yup, all delivered at the length specified in the sizing charts and just chopped and chained on Unity, if you need a shorter length:

[Max Power]

…but a longer inseam would be possible? (speaking of slowing down the production)... And how much would that cost?

[Giles]

No, we used to be able to do that, but it proved to be too disruptive for the factory, so max inseam is the inseam that is quoted in the individual product sizing charts…............

A question for all/any  textile experts:

Do you think Nikiwax or any other off the shelf waterproofing formula will work on 9634s?

I am trying out an alternative to purchasing 804s.

Thanks for any insight.

Where is the thread people posted their size in?  :-\

@Finn666:

anyone knows a chainstitch option here in switzerland?…

Giles - you know if vmc in Zürich offers chainstitch service?

I don't think so, Roger asked me to find him one…..

so i pm`ed roger at his shop and this is what simona answered me today!

hey,
yes we have a chainstitch service but not on an original machine.

this are the iron heart model that we have: 634s, 643sr, 164s, ihxb01, 461s, ih666.

the chainstitch service is 25.–, and it takes two days. we sell the ih666s indigo not overdyed, but at the moment we are sold out in your size, we get new stock in about three month.

see you soon in zürich...simona.

so G. send them some 666S from 34-38 cuz i wanna try some on :D…

[Giles]

I'll speak to Roger…............

[premo]

Here it is… today is the big day. Finally I can pull the trigger on a IHSH.

Now now.. 41 vs 38?
