Any plan for a restock in 31 ? My size is one of the only to be out of stock.

Probably be a while.

So, i finally decided to give try to the size 32 even if I first tough a 31 would fit better and i'm glad I did it ! I received my order today and the fit is really good. It's a bit loose at my back on the waist owever it's perfect at the thighs and i fear a 31 would have been too tight. Especially as duck canvas does not strech as much as a denim.

I'm pretty happy with my first IH pants. 

What do you think ?

[Oaktavia]

Too tight would be annoying for you to wear and bothersome for your legs to endure. It looks like you nailed it.

[Nik]

Yeah that looks right. The room at the back of the waist will relax as the fabric takes your body shape.

Lost 10kg since the summer. My old tag 35 were fitting like this, and were a roomy 36inches at the waist:

With the amount of fabric I could pinch at the waistband I thought I could just about go down to a tag 33. That just arrived:

A bit tighter all over, obviously, but with the small amount of stretch I can expect (the tag 35 started at an actual 35.6, so I got about a half inch out of those) and with the goal of losing another few kg (my goal is ~3kg away) I think these are a winner.

@EdH outstanding accomplishment and the fit is perfect!

It's going to be an effing expensive accomplishment if I have to replace all my IH… 

I'm going to hold onto the tag-35 for now just in case. With a baby on the way in Feb, I'm waiting to see how that effects my lifestyle and weight before selling. I'm getting by on my denim for the time-being, as a wash tightens everything up again.

Great work @EdH
From what I have noticed of the true Iron Heart experts on this forum, having a few different sizes is the way to go. You're probably right to have the smaller and the larger and will likely get use out of both as time goes by and activities evolve.

Thanks @Nkwkfld - I'm hoping not to have to need the larger ones again. I'm determined not to develop the 'dad-bod'.

Looking awesome @EdH - I hope you'll be rocking these the next time you pay us a visit!

Phenomenal fit @EdH and congrats on your expensive accomplishment

I’ve been really lucky to have a stable waist size for 13 years now.
That doesn’t apply to my thighs though. Had to let loose of a few pairs already and can feel your pain.

Thighs going up or down?

I'm hoping my thighs start to shrink soon now that I've switched my training away from powerlifting (I peaked, and needed to switch to a training regimen which didn't require 90-minute workouts with the baby on the way). Tag-33 is about the limit in the thigh and top block for me right now.

If they ever wanted to do a "888-thick-boi" cut for the gentleman with the extra large thigh, I'd be interested…

No doubt! Especially if its in the Summer again, I love the ducks in the hotter months.

[schraiber]

I assume these guys are a way off from a restock but is there a sense of if the timeline is more like 6 months off or more like 12 months off?
