IH-805 - 21oz Indigo Selvedge Denim Double Knee Overalls
-
thank you
I am 1,76 m . with now around 77kg .
I loved them and really hated to sell but they where way too big -
@Filthy @henry_david given that I'm 4" shorter than HD and like the way his fit, do y'all think I'm on point for going with a 34? Could do 36 but I feel like they'd be too big on me. Open to thoughts / suggestions though, of course.
-
@popvulture – I think the 34" would be good for you and you'd DEF have enough to cuff. What's kinda cool is it really depends on the straps and how much you let them out or take them in. What d'you think, @Filthy?
-
Thanks, man — just trying to gather some good reference, wanna avoid having to send em back to swap or (gasp) sending em back without the desired swap size in stock and having to wait again.
Combing through the Brotherhood thread, was wondering — @emceeQ how tall are you and what size did you get?
-
I was saying in the past that I would size up. But then several others including Bums_Fan sized down and the fit is brilliant. So I guess if you're a husky dude like me size 36, and if you're skinny like HD size 34.

Here's an update on my 805 to get y'all psyched

Gracias, man

Sorry my photo skills are garbage. Probably 'cause I feel like garbage too.
-
I guess while I'm here I'll just bug everyone, haha — @Bums_Fan since Filthy mentioned your fit above, what's your height and what size did you go with?

I'm 5'11 and ~170lb. I went size 34, with a 29" hem. I've got ~1" cuff double rolled for a ~27" inseam to make these fit how I like with my brewery boots.
For reference I've been wearing 34 with a 29" hem in the 888 fit as of late as well.
Here is quick snap from a few moments ago…

Filthy your bibs look amazing, I’ve lurked here and watched you convert so many people with your crazy fades. Hope I can snag a pair tomorrow, sizing up for a nice casual fit. These things look like they can hang with the best winters, but still manage some warmer days too. Love everyone’s different style and pics with these.

Thanks man!!
Great pic @emceeQ

Those do look really great, @emceeQ — thank you! Shit, I'm really waffling now. If I'm 3" taller and 15 lbs more, I might just need to go 36.

Old photo in the 805s, @popvulture

This thread is on fire! Y’all are crazy, crazy good lookin in those bibs that is.

Cross-posting some outtakes from one of my Hometown Heroes posts:
I wear pretty much a 33-34 in all my IH pants, and my 805's are a 34 and are perfect.

@popvulture I was going to weigh in with my opinion anyway. Based on what you've shared and your pictures posted with other IH gear, I think you should go with 34.My 805's are 34. Note: I had two pairs in my possession at one time, 34 and 36, and elected to go with the 34 and moved the 36 along to another member. I am 6'0" tall and my weight fluctuates between 205-210 lbs. Due to larger than average thigh measurements, I am relegated to the 888 or 634 cut exclusively. Ignoring tag size for a moment, I typically need a 35" waist, > 13.3" thigh, and >9.25" knee to get a trim fit (not loose at all) on my IH jeans. I have 888 cuts in tag size 34 (3 pairs - trim fit), 35 (2 pairs - trim fit), and 36 (3 pairs - looser fit but not baggy at all).
All this to say, my 805s in 34 are my roomiest fitting IH bottoms, but not baggy or sloppy. I could have worn the 36, but they were obviously bigger and I simply liked the fit of the 34 better.
Regarding inseam length, I didn't find a discernible difference between the 34 or 36. As others have stated, it's really about how you adjust the shoulder straps. I am able to single cuff my 805 about 2-3".
Hope this helps.
