IH-805 - 21oz Indigo Selvedge Denim Double Knee Overalls

[henry_david]

@iamjustdanny – Welcome dude! Glad to see you here. I'll be posting some fade updates when I can rival what Mike does to his 

@LewisStonehouse – I wear a tagged 34" in the 634 and need every last bit of the thigh space. I went with a tagged 34" with these and I actually have room in the thigh to spare. The 634 fit me like a slim straight and these fit me like a true straight leg. The 40" waist on the 34" still allows me to put on a heavy sweater under the bib. Any input on that, @Filthy (a.k.a., our resident bib prez)?

Cheers gents, let's see what @Filthy reckons 

[LewisStonehouse]

I just had a sod it moment and ordered the 36. If I'm honest, I've put on a wee few pounds over the last year so they've got a good chance of being right, the thigh measurement certainly looks right, and as Henry says it's good to have a bit of room for a thick top (I'm particularly fond of the chunky heimat textil jumpers) 

YEEHAW

Hahahaha so glad you did it. You'll love them.

[LewisStonehouse]

Can't wait to feel 8 years old, but also like a total badass

[LewisStonehouse]

Side question - should I be wary of rocking with white t-shirts initially? Never had issue with denim shirts but I can see the shoulder straps transferring there indigo goodness quite readily

21oz does tend to crock wilfully the first few weeks. Maybe get down to TK’s and find some off brand ([emoji1]) tee on the cheap, then sacrifice them to the gods of Indigo?

[LewisStonehouse]

Since I'm still mostly working from home, I'll just go hillbilly and wear it bareback round the house for a few weeks. The Mrs will love it

@LewisStonehouse bend over and try to touch your toes. If you must exhale to do this I recommend sizing up to 36. If you don't then 34 it is. Or like if you have to groan when standing up or getting out a car by all means, size 36..

He already ordered a pair…. where have you been Mike!? [emoji1787]

Did the highly scientific @Filthy test, I think the 36 is gonna work well cheers folks, possibly my most exciting IH cop to date

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

No prob. @Brock  @LewisStonehouse awesome

I’m taking mine to tailor tomorrow. I’ve got an old pair of Mister Freedom jeans I’m going to get made into shorts and I’ll have him use the leftover material to extend the straps and make the pocket mod on the inside. Really excited to show the results and some fit pics

[deanclean]

Everyone looks great in their posted pictures. I’m looking forward to joining the crew

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

Looking forward to seeing them.

I've had just a bit on my tees, but these are inexpensive Hanes so not too worried.
