Appreciating the heat test, Brock
That's why I want these so bad: all weather IH! Although I still wear 25oz and 21oz in high heat (and having been cycling in some 21oz again).Those are looking great, too. How many rinses/washes?
-
I think just the one wash so far…
although today they’re getting a thorough ‘sweat soak’I can see wearing these casually in hot weather but doing the stuff I do at work they’re way too hot....

I'm sorry to hear that Brock.

It is 93 degrees in Brandon rn. Maybe I just tolerate being sweaty better than most? I am wearing my XHS today.

You’re just more fatass than me Mike!
Maybe so? I saw G talking about not wearing UHR in New York City in the summer and didn't mind at all.

XHS in 75° F in 55% humidity in LA… About to go to Texas where it's gonna be 80° F and 80% humidity and def still wanna wear my XHS but not sure rn. Also there's a reason I'm posting in this thread specifically: the overalls will be here Friday! I won't be (I'll be in Texas) but I'll be slipping them on when back on Sunday.
-
If yer lucky it’ll be 80/80 in TX this weekend.
You’ll need the XHS to protect against the state bird (mosquito) tho. With all the rain we’ve had. Swarming like a MFr
-
Where in TX ya visiting? DM if you dont want it public. Telling me to FO also works if you dont want me to know. Lol
-
I didn't even think of the mosquitoes, @mikebarhoot
And I'll be just a bit outside of Dallas proper to see my folks

Got em today. I say this all the time but the shipping speed is unbelievable. They shipped on Wednesday and are at my door here near Toronto on Friday. They are amazing. Really happy with these. The only thing I may do is get my tailor to extend the denim straps a few inches. There is plenty of room in the waist and gut but they ride just a little too high in the crotch with the straps all the way adjusted as far as they go. I may just wait a little. Im thinking the straps may stretch a bit. Anyone notice if the straps stretch?
-
They might stretch a quarter to half an inch. But you should be able to move the buckles way down to meet the clasp where it buttons in both directions.
-
thanks @Filthy Ive got the buckles all the way as far as they will go. There is the minimum amount of strap left that will make the buckle still work. I will take another look at it though. Either way it wont be a tough job to add more denim to the strap.
-
Thanks a million @Giles. Great excuse to buy more stuff!

If I do end up taking these to the tailor I also may have him put some pockets on the inside of the top part of the bib. Have the pockets sort of upside down when the bibs are up, but if it’s hot and you have the straps off your shoulder the bib part would be folded over and then the pockets would be right side up and facing out if that makes sense.
