      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!

                                    I hope this is not too foolish a query…
                                    When an IH jacket, like the IH-526PJ, for example, is listed by other retailers their measurements are obviously quite different.  I've come to rely on your measurements and feel confident from your charts.  I'm far less confident with the other retailers.  (Here's the foolish part –->) Can we just use your measures to understand the same product?  When we're sure it's the same?  The contrasting measurements (even when the methods are described as the same) are keeping me up at night.

                                      If it is the exact same product from the same production run (which you probably won't know) then the measurements will be as we publish, plus or minus….

                                        @Giles or any other IHUK staff…. Is the waist pulled as tight as possible when you guys take the measurement? I have watched the video and searched the forum to try and find the answer to no avail

                                          @BD81 ,take a look at the video below

                                          https://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=9188.0

                                          There you’ll see that they are not pulled tight, only flattened and smoothed out.

                                          The journey is the objective.

                                            Ok.Thanks @motojobobo  . So a 34 would actually be 35 or so the way i was measuring.
