These are going quickly! And just when I thought I was done buying jeans...

@Inorganic I also sized down one (L --> M)

@Alex - I know the post was almost 6 years ago, but any idea what jeans you’re wearing in the IHTB-BOBRN - Wesco 10'' Brown Domain Boss Boot thread?

@Heavy_blue Thank you! The 888 I find very roomy and comfortable in the top block. Are you saying the 634 fits like the 888 through the hips but with a lower rise?

I feel like this is pretty accurate but I will say that difference in rise changes the feel quite a bit. Overall the top block feels a little smaller than the 888, I’d say overall sort of the middle zone btw that and the 666.

Thank you! Sounds like it could be a winner. The issue I have with the 666 is in the hips and thighs as it feels like I’m being squeezed to death, even when the waist is a little big. But the rise is nice and the knee/hem is perfect at my size (33 or 34 depending on model).
888 is extremely comfortable in the hips/thigh but I’m not a fan of how high the rise is, especially when tucking in a shirt. Also if I do a bit of walking the jeans inevitably slide down causing the crotch to ride pretty low.
777 the rise is so low half my ass hangs out when sitting. Definitely not enough back rise for my rather bulbous backside.
555 has a great top block and is comfy in the hips and thighs, but the taper to the knee is too sharp for my body type. Makes me look like a carrot. If I had longer legs though this cut would be a winner.
I have not tried the 634 or any of the other fits, but I’m determined to find my ideal IH fit in the XHS, even if I go broke in the process

After reading over a thousand posts I could not find the answer I'm looking for. Sorry in advance if I missed it. Can anyone tell me how the top block of the 634 compares to the 666? I have a large-for-my-size booty and thighs and, in 666, I have to buy tag size 34, even though my true waist size is ~33.5", just to fit everything in. 555 topblock is comfortable in 33, however, the taper is too extreme for my liking. I'm thinking the 634 XHS could be a great option for me in size 32 (33" actual waist) if the topblock is more like the 555 than 666. Anyone have experience with all these that can weigh in? Thanks.

This is such a brilliant shirt! I had high expectations and it’s even nicer than expected.

Any idea when these will be restocked? Sorry if I missed it. Thanks.

@Alex:

Thursday or Friday next week all things being equal

This is great news! Hopefully my go-to stockist receives some.

@Giles:

That is a very nice room…..

Thank you sir. All the credit goes to the wife.

Breaking out this western today. Fall weather is finally starting to set in here in NJ. This is an XL and fits more like an L through the shoulders and chest with an opening more in-line with XL

One less Large 

@SKT:

Well the fit looks spot on to me and you shouldn’t get any shrinkage if cold washed (as the folks have stated above).  It’s funny how small differences in measurements can affect the overall fit of a shirt. I’ve found that out the hard way on a couple of items.

Oh for sure. I wish I had a better grasp on how measurements effect fit. At this point the only thing I’m sure of is I need a chest P2P measurement ~22”. The rest I’m just throwing caution to the wind and hope it works out [emoji23]

@SKT:

@nvrp813 Great fit and a fantastic shirt. Cooper snaps look so good on it as well. Curious what you think of the fabric now that you can compare?

The description of ‘complete opposite of UHF’ is accurate, lol. Very rigid and reminds me of raw denim.

What took me by surprise, in a good way, is how trim it fits compared to the IHSH-309-PUR, yet measurements are very close. The smaller opening (20.9” vs 21.5”) must be the driver.

Quick and dirty shot as this fantastic shirt was just dropped off by UPS. Size Large

@SKT:

Shirt appreciation post. I’ve worn this shirt a lot lately and it keeps getting better. Still super crinkly. Still substantial. Looking forward to more evo.

As I impatiently wait for mine to arrive, how’s the shirt material compared to UHF?

@neph93:

@nvrp813 lovely shirt. Great colourway for you and will tolerate a hot wash if needed.

Appreciate the kind words. Wanted this one a touch big to allow for some thicker undershirts.

Hello everyone. Happy to be part of this forum. I’m from northern NJ. Born and raised.

Welcome. I take it from your pic that northern NJ isn’t the part they call «Dirty Jersey»? [emoji1] Looks lovely.

Thanks! That’s correct and why I wanted to post the pic [emoji23]
