Wonder if you could give me some help on a pair of jeans. I want a pair for work and these are going to get smashed and may even catch on fire. I am a boilermaker/ welder/ fabricator depending where you live. My current steel feathers don't give me much movement maybe the weight and cut, but I need to be able to climb ladders, climb over things, kneel down and what other ridiculous position I need to make my self fit to get the job done, something my other jeans won't let me do easy. I currently wear normal cotton drill work pants. Cheers

Both Carhartt and Dickies make flame resistant work wear.

Maybe you could ask IH to make 634S-FR.  (flame resistant)

[madmonday]

vulcans or beatle busters if you doing jeans.  if you want work pants you can get a pair of 801s, 804s or 816s.

I say get a pair of IH coveralls  (805, 806, 812 & I'm pretty sure I'm still missing one) & give them hell

[toddjcoley]

Can't do coveralls, need to wear hi-vis shirts, I want to do jeans too. [emoji1]
Just found out my current cotton drill are 310 gsm around 9 oz. So maybe the triple work 634 15oz. Otherwise I will cook my self when it gets to 30 c

Is neitenhosen no longer an active member? Tried searching members to contact him but not seeing him… Anyway, if anyone would be kind enough to perhaps point me in the direction to get a hold of him I would appreciate it. Interested in having a few shirts made if he is still doing this..thanks

edit: it helps to spell the name right. Nietenhosen, not Neitenhosen (I'm just assuming that from your typo in your question above )

[tatmantall]

Ha… Damn I'm a dummy. Thanks b_F.

Has IH stepped away from doing limited runs of 35s?

That size seems to be where so many skinny-fat or fat-skinny people fall….

[Giles]

^ No.  I'll do 35's when I think justified.  Usually when a product has proved itself to be perennially popular.  But, hardly any of my retailers take 35 (I guess for inventory reasons0, so I have to be sure that I will shift a lot to get Tom to make up the pattern….

[madmonday]

sensible answer.

thanks for the response.

so either i stay skinny or fat, no more in between for me.  think fat is much more fun.

Hi all,

I'm a newbie to the forum, and I'm looking forward to some good conversation about great clothing.

In the vein of that, I want to ask a question that has been bugging me for some time:

Does anyone know anywhere reliable in London that will be able to do a good job of sewing on some good quality brace/suspender buttons to some IHxB01s? I also need the pocket bag repairing, so if somebody could so that job too?

Finally, does anyone know of some secret place in the UK to get hold of some drill trousers/khakis with brace/suspender buttons other that RRL, at a reasonable enough price?

Thanks in advance!

@twin:

Ashleyjwheat go to Rivet & Hide in London.

Are Danny and Junior doing more than repairs now? I was in there just the other day to say hi. I should have asked really.

[twin]

I wood think that Danny or Junior are able to do a good job of sewing the buttons on to the IHxBo1 jeans.
Send them and email and ask if they can do this for you.

Any boot-lovers who bicycle commute? Struggling to figure out how to stay in boots but I'm going to be biking in this summer… Boots on a bicycle kind of suck. I'm leaning towards bringing a large messenger with a change of clothes, but the commute is a flat 4.5 miles, so I don't really need a change of clothes until it gets hot, barely break a sweat.

[tmg]

FWIW, I bike commute (actually bike/train/bike) but choose to wear my 5.10 approach shoes for the cycling, and leave boots at work to change into. Of course, you can pedal your bike using whatever footwear you choose

[mclaincausey]

I actually thought of that, not a bad suggestion. I love my boots so much that it would be like leaving a child at work, but it might be the most practical solution. Perhaps on weekends I can shuttle them back home–thanks!
