IH-805 - 21oz Indigo Selvedge Denim Double Knee Overalls
-
The overalls tend to come up a bit big. You probably could fit into a 38.
I agree with Graeme. Mine are Size 30. I am W31 in 1955 UHR. W32 in 634 UHR, a tight W32 in 666 XHS, W33 in 666 UHR and a comfortable 33 in 666 XHS. My height is 178 cms and I wouldn't want the shoulder straps on mine any shorter. When Giles re-stocks I will get another pair of size 30.

Thanks guys. The first few pages of this thread recommend to size up. So I guess maybe I will give them a shot.

jeah, another disciple in the BROTHERHOOD OF BIB.
http://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=6655.msg367824#msg367824i sized down from 38 to 36 as well and am very happy with it.
could probably have gotten away with a 34 as well.the downside of sizing down could be,
depending on your physic,
that the actual bib of the overall
can turn out a bit too short. -
the overall shrinks down a bit after washing but stretches back after the first hour of wear.

Some evo on my 805s. Worn for garden work, some quite hard and messy - the faded patch on my right thigh happening while pushing my garden tractor and coming into contact with the spinning muddy wheels.
-
Those look great!
-
@Anesthetist Thanks. Yes, they are great.

He's already got a pair, don't think that @indigo bitch will let him have another!
-
@Graeme ….I've already got a pair, too, and I know I'm not allowed another pair! But mine are wearing and fading fast and I didn't think I could wait for another 12 months! Mine are quite snug so I did contemplate getting a 32 but thought better of it.
-
the overalls on top are from the last run. Notice any differences?…..about 5" shorter on the double knee. Did I get an odd pair or did the pattern get changed? Also, the cut or sizing seems larger. I dont think these shrink that much.
-
Well. I definately think they look better with a longer double knee and the slimmer cut, but i didn't notice this for awhile until I hemmed them; and since I have been wearing my other overalls not this new pair.
-
Mine have also got the short double-knee. I'll check whether it actually covers my knee later. I hadn't noticed anything different with the fit - but then I didn't notice the shorter double knee either lol.
-
The IH-812 overalls have the shorter knee reinforcement too. It looks a similar length to the pair of new 805s, above.
I'm at the longer end of the leg spectrum, and the position is fine for me. I'd guess that the 805s would suit. Someone on the stumpier end of would have their knees further up, and so they should be fine.
