      @zwer:

      You don't happen to have real life experience with the Beatle Busters in a 36, do you? I've got the 666s and I'm tempted by the BBs, but the waist measurement of 35 has me scared.

      Honestly, I would have G measure the waist of the current four pairs of BBs that they have in stock. I've seen used pairs of BBs with measurements slimmer than my 666S in the same size, so you really need to be sure.

      Have him send you the largest sz36 BB he has, I'm sure there will be one close to an actual 36 measurement. If not, it's very easy to force stretch any pair of jeans, even the 25oz.

      Or just wear them and they will naturally stretch with no problem.

        Thanks for the answer. I'll bug G closer to when I'm ready to buy.

          For any of you 36ers out there, I have a running list of Iron Heart jeans with measurements and some notes for myself.

          This is awesome, thank you.

            I've noticed there are collar measurements for some of the shirts, e.g. IHSH-81 and IHSH-33.

            Is the measurement taken around the inside of the collar when fully buttoned?

                Its rather great to provide those size charts to decide what size buy. At my work, we only provide informations on tags and thats not very useful for people that don't know the brands we sell. The day we do as you, we will have a massive improvement for our customers.

                To buy stuff from japan, i use rakuten like maybe people here, and i wonder something …
                Its rather simple to measure waist, thigh ... What can be the reason sellers give different measures ?
                For my edwin 505z, 3cm more in sizes chart that in reality
                And 3 cm in the waist makes a massive difference on the fit  😠 So i need to order a size down.

                For the 814 in size 32 for exemple to compare to your products, i found waist 81.3 84 and 85 cm  😉
                Umm, i should trust you for IH, but that will help me for others brands.

                    question about tshirt length.  Is the length measurement taken from the very top of the shirt back or from the bottom of the collar seam? may be a silly question, but that little extra length means a lot.  Thanks.

                            Since I'm eyeballing one of the IHTB-06's, I have another question:

                            Is the shoulder measurement on shirts and sweaters taken in identical manner to the button-downs and jackets (shoulder stitching –> bottom of collar seam at mid-point --> other shoulder stitching)?

                                  I'm sure this has been addressed before, but I can't find any info on it. What is the correspondence between number and letter sizes on jackets? Is a "40" a Large or Medium, for example?

                                      If you buy/look at a new jacket, you will see the alpha's on the flasher and the numerals on the sewn-in label.

                                          I've lost some weight and my current pair's become a bit loose, especially wast and thigh. Is there any other way to know my size based on my body measurements?

                                          I'm wearing the 666S 21, size 34. I see the current waist is wider than my waist about 0.7 - 0.9"
                                          My next pair which I'm aiming to is 634S-19L-V2.

                                          Thanks guys!

                                            Hi

                                            Alternatively you can measure your pair of 666S-21 tag 34 and we can use these measurements as a starting point based on them being slightly too loose.

                                            Once you have your measurements, you can view our guide measurement chart on the product page (https://www.ironheart.co.uk/bottoms/ih-634s-19l-v2.html) to determine the which tag size will be the best for you.  Please include any specific dimensions you are looking for in your order notes and we can look for the most suitable pair.

                                            Please let me know if you need any further help!
