There's no Such Thing as a Stupid Question

Neph, you were right! I just looked it up:

@Dion:

The cut of the 716 is similiar to the 711 whereas the 717 is similiar to the 707/816.

thanks for the ^^ explanations @Giles and @neph93 ; your clarifications make the upcoming bastard 7** very promising.

Thanks everyone for answering!

Im usually a jeans guy but I might switch it up with a pair of work, engineer, or cargo pants. They all look great!

With Xmas approaching, can anyone recommend an EU source for western shirts of IH quality but in a women's cut?

thanks

Bill

^Think the website is ironheart.co.uk, sorry for the lame answer  ::)   

[neph93]

^ Without sounding facetious, I was going to say the same. I know that in Japan IH do some shirts in ladies sizes, IHUK just doesn’t stock them. Giles and Alex are over there now so you could drop them a pm and see what’s available.

My wife is wearing IHSH-33 and some of the Flannels in the Western cut, as they are quit slim in the smaller sizes, she wears them in S, they fit her very well

So I just ordered some custom whites. Lace-up bounty hunters from Baker’s….I went with an 8” model. I traditionally go with a 7” but decided to try 8”.

As I look through pics of 8” boots I am wondering if I went too tall....any thoughts/experience with 8” boots?

[neph93]

My IH/Viberg Smokejumpers are 8”. I love them. Great ankle support and all round sturdiness make them perfect for winter up here, but I wear them year round for rougher activities as well as general use. I’m considering a pair of Packers or Jobmasters and will likely go for 8” again. I like to feel like I’m wearing boots when I’m wearing boots, if you see what I mean…

What exactly is your concern?

[Dstauffer]

Thanks for the feedback Reuben. I’m sure they’ll be just fine. I guess my concern is branching outside of my normal 7”, but then again my Wescos are 8” and they are just fine.

What’s an extra inch…

@Dstauffer:

Sooo many possibilities for d-jokes…. [emoji1]

Unless they’re going to be used for specific activities, it comes down to preference and aesthetics I guess. I have two pairs of 6” lace ups that don’t get anywhere near the same use as my 8” ones.

Someone just told me sugarcane manufactures for iron heart, this seems like news to me and I’m cyclical. Is this true?

Definitely not true. They may have used the same fabric or mills, at some point, as not all fabrics IH uses are made just for them. Most are, though.

That’s what I thought, wanted to confirm before I argued against it!

I have a pair of 8" Wesco Jobmasters, and I don't wear them nearly as often as I wear my 6" White's and Vibergs.  More effort to lace up, heavier, less flexible/comfortable.  Whether you'd think the same about going from a 7" high boot to an 8" high boot, I don't know.

I just wet my knickers (that'd be a no).

Toyo may use the same mill as one of the mills we use, it would be almost impossible for them not too.

[emoji23] I’m glad I could bring some entertainment to your day. I was slightly perplexed when I read it!

Maybe your misinformed friend is confusing Iron Heart with Mr. Freedom?  Sugarcane works with them kinda regularly.

Mr. Freedom and Iron Heart have a very similar aesthetic, so I can see how one could confuse the two brands (read that in the most sarcastic tone of voice possible).
