      Yep, and that's really helpful; pics and substantial explanations of exactly how the measuring is done are great.  I appreciate the time they took to get the pictures and do the write ups for that.  The problem is that Self Edge and Blue In Green each measure their own way, and that's just two stores here in the US.  If you're ordering from The Denim Vault, DC4, another IH retailer or a Rakuten store, there's no telling how many other measuring systems there will be.  Then there's the variations from pair to pair, conversions from inches to centimeters or vice versa, so on and so forth.  Bottom line is that measurements are always going to have some guesswork involved.

      Even if two people measure the same pair of jeans using the same method, there's still going to be slight differences, based on how tightly each person holds the tape, how tightly the jeans are pulled flat, etc.  Like all the other veterans, I know the main measurements that make a good fit for me, and that eliminates most of the worry, but when I order a pair, I still have to cross my fingers and hope they'll be right when I put them on.

        I understand and it is a continuing problem.  The reason that we decided to do it the way that Iron Heart in Japan does it (and I suspect that most other Japanese jeans companies do it too, as Haraki and Tom who were/are pattern designers were incredulous that there could be any other method) is that we can now, if we want to, take their measurements and publish before we actually get the products.

        There is one proviso here, when the Japanese measure front and rear rise, they do not include the waist band, we will continue to include the waist band n our front and rear rise measurements.

          The blue/black shirt at the new front page, what shirt is that? And is it available somewhere?

            It is an IHSH-20 from a couple of years ago.  Not available new, but not impossible to find on the second hand market….

              G, I know this is a long shot, but is there anyway we can get a glossary of every single Iron Heart piece ever made in numerical order?

                          Why aren't dockers shipping internationally? THEY HAVE A 29 % off everything sale today only… feckers.

                          ( I have never tried their alpha khakis, would like to).

                          Seize the day and don't you cry.

                                    just curious, thought it odd the other day when I was seeing tweets late at night US time, thought you must be having insomnia, then today a good morning tweet at what I figure must be mid day in UK

                                      I have been measuring another pair of jeans I currently own to help size up some new pairs, and the only measurement I'm unsure of is the thigh. I have took a picture - and hope people can tell me if it's right, and if not help me take an accurate measurement.

                                      I'm not sure if the 11" measurement is right - or if it should be more like 10 1/2" because or the line of stitching?

                                      Heres the picture:
