IH-805 - 21oz Indigo Selvedge Denim Double Knee Overalls

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?

[trail and arrow]

the overall shrinks down a bit after washing but stretches back after the first hour of wear.

Thank you!

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!

[Jeansman]

@Anesthetist Thanks. Yes, they are great.

Have you yet heard from @trail and arrow ?

[Graeme]

He's already got a pair, don't think that @indigo bitch will let him have another!

[Jeansman]

@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.

[jadechacko]

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.

[Giles]

Interesting.  Thank you.  I had not noticed that.  I'll check it out with Haraki….Is it a problem?

[jadechacko]

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.

[Jeansman]

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.
