@Giles:

Restocked…...

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.

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.

The IH-812 overalls have the shorter knee reinforcement too. It looks a similar length to the pair of new 805s, above.

I'm at the longer end of the leg spectrum, and the position is fine for me. I'd guess that the 805s would suit. Someone on the stumpier end of would have their knees further up, and so they should be fine.

[Giles]

So, this is the story.

When we started making the duck overalls we made the double knees shorter.  When we remade the denim version, we decided to make the double knees shorter on them too.

Haraki forgot to tell me,  sorry.

[jadechacko]

thanks  G.  It's all good.  Just something I noticed the other day comparing the two.  Best overalls period.

My Favorite IH item is the 805s. I like a personal touch…so i hem my jeans/overalls by hand.  I know i know it's a bit much.

Well done. I did the same back in the the '90s …

No mountain too tall for my 805s.

I quit smoking about 2 months ago, so I'm getting fat again. My size 33s Beatle Busters are getting pretty snug. So I decided to take a crack at these on sale. I've wanted a pair of these for so long now…. I think a size 36 might be kind of baggy, but I'm hoping comfortable, because all my jeans have been killing me recently.

What's your minimum inseam?

Sending a pm . . .

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

Probably a 33 maybe. I'm pretty fond of a cuff.
