IH-805 - 21oz Indigo Selvedge Denim Double Knee Overalls

Loving my 805s but I’m torn between having them hemmed or not.
Any thoughts?
I’m 5’10 with a Japanese cuff

I say cuff. Cuffs are always good on work pants of any kind.
I like the cuffs
Always cuff my denim but I seen a shot of 805s
Hemmed and they looked great too.
Just wondering what everyone thoughtSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

@Pipeboss713 +1 for the cuff

cuff looks good

Like them with cuffs… loving how the Japanese IH guys wear them on the IHJ Instagrams.
Amazing @RoxRocks86 always thought that you would need a pair

You have the full IHJ name on hand by coincidence?

All about the cuff, @Pipeboss713
At least that's what I'm doing and it's nice to have the flexibility of uncuffing cuffing based on footwear. -
@Pipeboss713 excellent. I say just cuff them because that is easier.
-
Cuffs for sure. But I wear cuffs on 99% of my pants.

Aw you guys make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Thank you for the kind compliments
@dinobarnesberlin @henry_david really wondering if I'd be able to wear these all day at work. All the pockets for snacks and tools are like a dream come true! Will test it out on a 2-4hr gig sometime soon. I just kinda find the pockets lower than I'm used to & the straps are hiked up as high as possible. Digging for my phone in the front pocket is like fishing for something in the depths of Hades
@rdlk thank you!
can't wait to see you rock yours! hope yours fit straight out the bag as well 
@Chap you should've nagged me to pull the trigger on a pair ages ago! pics of you and your wife in the overalls always inspired me to grab a pair
@Pipeboss713 hell yeah man!!!! love seeing you rock the GAH with your 805's. As a cuff lover, they look great as is. But pretty sure you'd be able to pull off whatever your choosing

Fuck it, I'm going to pull the trigger on a pair of these. Just looking for some quick sizing advice.
I want them to be relaxed but not overly baggy. I've got 2 pairs of other IH jeans at the moment for comparison:
555-03 size 29
8301S size 30The 555-03 are from one of the older runs that ran larger, so I think my typical IH size is 30. Both pairs were pretty snug in the waist to start but have stretched out to be comfortable.
Thinking a 30 in these is the way to go, but I want to make sure there's plenty of room in the waist area so they kind of hang from the straps and not hug my belly. If that makes sense.
Thoughts? How has everyone else sized these relative to those specific cuts? Half tempted to just order a 30 & 32 and try them both.

@jskidder great decision my friend. The collective wisdom seems to be go with your normal size if you want it more fitted (it will still be relaxed) or size up for super relaxed/the pinnacle of comfort. The waist is way oversized so youre unlikeky to have an issue with it clinging around the belly. I sized up and haven't regretted it one bit, but I think I would have been fine in my normal size too, just not as exquisitely comfortable.

@jskidder – Mostly just here to second @LewisStonehouse
Also, I posted this (https://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=6655.msg696416#msg696416) earlier with my experiences in the 805s.

Yeah seriously, they are supposed to be loose and comfy not form fitting.

I’d do the 30 if I was you.
I went with 32 and I’m normally a size 32-33 in IH denim and I feel like I nailed it perfectly and coulda went down to 30 for more form fit bit I wouldn’t be able to wear a UHF without unbuttoned sides

Welp, I grabbed a 30. Looking forward to starting my new life in a few days.
