      @Yogi217:

      So, long winded response, but I am upgrading truckers at the moment. I have both the 9526PJ (large, purchased at a US retailer online) and the 9526J (medium, purchased second hand from this forum). The medium has a 21.3 or 42.6 chest and is tighter than the large with a 22.1 or 44.2 p2p. I'm a weird fit and size… I have long arms, short torso, short height, wider shoulders and chest... A mashup of most mediums and larges I see on the sight.. I have long thin legs too, so try to wear short rise pants which throws relative/visual dimensions of my tops off too.

      I am doing my research in the sense that I watch the jacket threads and WAYWT threads to visually see how people prefer to wear their tops and in this instance also about the numbers. I will also be doing aggregates on the "models'" numbers across items too. I also research and think way to much about these details....

      I am just not quite sure about what would be too long or too tight? Which, as you noted, for some of take time and experimenting. I love the return policy, which gives me confidence. I am just lazy about getting to the post office!

      My experience has been that proper fit is determined by your own measurements but also how you intend to wear a garment. Most of the time I wear my trucker jackets with a flannel shirt underneath. IH's UHF's are quite thick, therefore it gives me a snug fit but not to the point where it's too tight. I also have the ihm-20 (overdyed M65) which fits snug but I can't wear a flannel underneath, so I'm limited to thin layers such as a t-shirt or henley. However, the M65 has a thicker construction than my type III's so I don't really need heavy layering.

      I have an average build and fluctuate anywhere between a medium, large and xl with IH tops. Most of my UHF's are large but I do own a couple of xl's. Both of my truckers are xl but my ihm-20 is a medium. Sizewise i'd say i'm between @Sam and @Giles. I own a couple of Pure Blue Japan type II's that have a 21.5" p2p that barely get worn, if at all. I can wear them with a t-shirt but not with flannels.

          To further add about what is considered too long or tight, if the garment in question restricts movement then it's too tight (would be the obvious answer). Length is a personal preference and I for one am a huge fan of the extra length on IH's type III's.

            I have to get use to the length because that's the only way I'll get to enjoy these great items! Just need to get use to the non traditional type 3 look for me.

              Does anyone know if you could make one leg out of a right hand twill and the other with a left hand twill, and what the end result would be?

                        There have been a few short sleeved styles, but we have not taken them recently due to lack of demand. We have not seen any short sleeved shirts for SS19

                          Sampling a 14oz black Type III and Type II at the moment.  We are giving a retailer a few months lead on them when we release

                          Giles, any idea on when these “might” be available? Fall/Winter 2019 or SS 2020 or FW 2020?

                          Thanks!

                              Studio D'Artisan has done this as a take on Levi's v. Lee, with leather patches on both left and right and different back pocket shapes and selvedge line colors to mimic the originals. I don't remember what model they were, or if they made them for more than a limited edition.  You could probably find pics somewhere, with a moderate level of Google Fu ability.

                                Going to London in mid April. Too warm for my 21oz black trucker over a t shirt? Or just right?

                                Too wet?

                                Thanks!

                                  Alright guys, first time poster long time lurker here.

                                  I've been wearing the crap out of this pair of 633 ODs (18oz) for the past year and a half or so. They fit me great when I bought them but I put on 10lbs or so (and I usually put weight on in the butt and thighs) and I put these things under some undue stress in the crotch region. I tore one side open and had it repaired, then the other side of the crotch started to go not even a week later. Probably should've just had both sides repaired at the same time.

                                  I noticed the repair job is somewhat sand papery on my thighs and can irritate my skin if my underwear get bunched up, exposing bare skin to the repair. I figure it might "break in" and get more pliable down the road.

                                  I've lost the aforementioned 10lbs and then some, so these are actually comfortable to wear again.

                                  So, what do you think, should I have the other side of the crotch repaired and get more use out of these, or call it quits on them and move on to my next pair?

                                  Thanks!

                                        is a blatant rip-off of Mission Workshop's:

                                        Given that they both manufacture garments, and MW has prior art since they've been in operation prior to 2014, I would issue a cease and desist were I MW. Crazy to me that a business would try to pull something like that off.
