      @Jeansman:

      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.

                          i 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.

                            To all IH-805 owners: Have you experienced any shrinking in the waist when soaking or washing them?

                              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.
