another one for peter:

Ah, yes! That shows them in a better light. Mine are not as advanced as yours.
-
@trail and arrow awesome stuff man, great fit
-
The patch on my overalls went nearly black when it got soaked in some mud and water:
The overalls had not been washed or soaked - it was their 1st contact with water. The soil is light brown almost yellow clay with some run-off from sandstone so wouldn't have been acidic. Any ideas why it happened and how to restore it @swiss-jeansfreak and @Giles ?
-
Since I have no experiences about washing because I never wash or soak my raw denim stuff, I have no idea how you can reverse this. I don't think this is possible. But Giles knows more about this I assume.
But the overall look already amazing break. Keep go rock them hard for ever!!! -
Ah yes @swiss-jeansfreak ! There is getting soaked meaning getting very wet (while being worn) as happened here) and soaking as a process ie leaving clothing in water for a long time. I did wash them water (always in cold water) but the damage was done when they got wet/muddy while being worn.

Oh I see. Must be from your sweat somehow I would say. And I think Giles advice is the best you can do.
I wish you best success -

Giles, if you made these in one size bigger (40) I would buy them for sure. Is there any chance of this ever happening?
-
Thanks Giles. Please do. Or I might have to test your generous return policy and see if I can squeeze into a 38. Or lose weight.
-
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.
