@Twistlock I absolutely love the color of this N1. Bravo.

@Cole I’d be a buyer if it had an internal chest pocket, but I realize that might not be in keeping with the original designs.

IH have been known to update with modern design elements, so I’m truly hoping for this A2 in khaki with an internal chest pocket

@m4xime I don’t mean to step on any toes here … but the khaki sleeves measure about an 1” shorter than last years IHM37 ODG …. It’s making me seriously consider the khaki.

@sabergirl yes, the measurements made me think the XL would be perfect.

In IH denim I like a waist at 35.5” or as close to as possible. I figured that’d be an XL in the WL, but as mentioned, they almost fell to the floor without cinching the waist tie tight.

The L come in at 33.8” and they appear to measure the same way as IH. I guess maybe because th waist has a lot of stretch it works. I’d say the thighs and hips are more generous than my 634’s. At least they feel that way.

If you have a local retailer it might be best to try them on first. Good luck!!

@edgarallanpoe great summary and comparison. It’s nice to have both fits IMO. The trim fit of the IH is much easier to layer under a jacket but overall comfort goes to the WL (at least for me).

@sabergirl they fit me really well but I realize fit is quite subjective …

For reference, I’m usually a 34 or a 35 in IH 21 oz 634 or 666’s. I took a large on the sweat pants and they are just perfect. They sort of hang off my hips but are nice and roomy through the thighs and hips.

Initially, I ordered XL based on the measurements, but they way to large in the waist … the elastic band did nothing and without the drawstring they almost fell to the floor.

I’m not sure why using the measurements didn’t work the same as they should with IH clothing as it appears they measure the same way ….

@edgarallanpoe so glad you like it! Did you go with the double heavy weight French Terry?

I have two of these hoodies, (have to sell one in large).

I recently bought the DHW sweat pants as well. When you’re wearing the, with the hoodie it’s like you’re wrapped in a horse blanket lol

@Max-Power great colorway, congratulations!!

@EastClintwood darn it, sorry the XL didn’t work for you. I hope you can land a large size!

@gazza61 thank you, I look forward to wearing it once the weather here cooperates:)

@indigostiff looks like a perfect fit!

@edgarallanpoe you won’t be disappointed. The weight of these things is truly remarkable !

@edgarallanpoe here are a couple of fit pics. I’m 6’2, 180 lbs wearing size large in the hoodie and XL in the Crew.

@edgarallanpoe the sleeves are much more relaxed by comparison.

I have two of the double weight French Terry hoodies and one double heavy weight crew sweatshirt and they are both quite generous in the way they wear.

@ler224 , in one of their recent videos I believe they said they will shrink about 2% but that you can get most of that back by gently stretching the fabric back out. I have not seen any noticeable shrinkage in my Double Heavy Weights. I wash them in cold, no spin, no tumble dry. The draw back is it take days to dry out lol

Looking great @Karol !

@chelliah , looking great … welcome!

@weftyarn Agreed, it’s a great cut … a bit slimmer and longer in the body and sleeves than most. It works great for a guy like me with a taller, thin frame.

My two cents … I’m an XXL in Western fit UHFs and I took an XL in the riders jacket. I’ve got a room to layer, but not to the point where the jacket looks sloppy in a tee shirt. I think that’s what’s really great about the waxed canvas … it sort of holds its shape and looks good even if you size up.

For reference, I’m 6’2”, 175 lbs.

@weftyarn looking great man!

I love these 1600’s. Thanks to you I bought a few a couple of months ago. The creme is my favorite of the bunch.
