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.

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.
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

Well, perhaps 93 and pre thunderstorm wasn't the best time to make a grocery store walk to try the overalls with some non-boot footwear, but I'm new to this life, it's a learning process. Did get rained on a little coming back home, glad it wasn't pouring, I don't know if my legs are strong enough to hump all this denim back soaking wet
-
Wearing them wet will help set in those creases. Just power through it my friend.
-
That's some straight silver-lining talk right there

@Joberwocky your heat threshold amazes me. Did you install ac in those bibs?

Yup same… I'm in 95 with 90% humidity and had to give up lol

Haha, I wish, the wool ballcap certainly didn't help matters. Felt alright walking around until I got back inside and realized how hot I was

I respect your resilience and determination and those also happen to be two characteristics of members of the Brotherhood

I gave these a wash last week after the Weezer concert because I got soaked at n the rain.
-
BIB-itty BOP that's some hall of fame shit right there sir!
-
I feel like maybe in one more year they will be Hall of Fame worthy
thanks a lot. -
Those are looking fucking EPIC, Mike
Hope you've been well. A Weezer concert sounds sick.
-
@Filthy Those look incredible! I really like these and may own them some day…I just have to convince myself that I can pull them off.
