      @Finn666:

      anyone knows a chainstitch option here in switzerland?…

      Giles - you know if vmc in Zürich offers chainstitch service?

      I don't think so, Roger asked me to find him one…..

          Here's a question. Maybe the answer lies somewhere in the 106 pages of general chat posts but that's a lot of pages… Why do IH shirt dimensions differ so much from shirt to shirt?  For example, I own both the 33 and the 34 in a large.  The 33 fits perfectly with a 21.8" p2p measurement while the 34 is a bit boxier with a 22.5" p2p measurement.  The 34 still works and works well when layered but I feel like this has to do with the weight of the material. A work shirt like the 44 which is a different cut and lighter material could just be kind of shapeless on my frame. I could be wrong about that though and maybe I am missing the point. So, back to the question, are these shirts cut differently with the intention that they will be worn differently or do the dimensions differ simply by chance? Thanks.

            weird example..the 33 is one wash and I think that´s why it is a little more snug. unless u have washed ur hairline hickory already..

            but - generally speaking - and that´s why ur example is not typical

            workshirts - slightly "boxier " and shorter than western in the same size, and yes, due to the fact that they are supposed to fit differently

              And the IHSH-07 and IHSH-34 came a larger than all other shirts for some reason.

                Is that the latest run of the 07 you are talking about. I have one from a few years ago and fits like a typical ih shirt. In comparison, the 34 is quite a bit larger.

                    My GF is now interested in trying out something like IH or TFH… but she has a bit a junk in tha trunk hehe so we're wondering what model would best suit her body type? I am totally clueless on this one.... her waist is 34, hips at the widest are around 45-ish... and about a 29 inseam. Suggestions? She is going to the gym with me and is wanting to lose weight but still wants to move forward on this right now...

                    Alright spoke to Kiya and some other people… trying out the balders, hopefully they work out. She is extremely excited. First GF which has actually taken an interest in my interest for this sorta thing. Should be interesting. heh. 🙂

                        anybody know where to get PF Flyers Center Lo (re-issue) Color Navy in EU and for reasonable price?

                        Can't get them locally, and shipping from States is nowadays damn expensive (at least shops are…)

                        (shoes .com has them, and ships intl, but their shipping rate is high and they for some reason also charge customs+ VAT, which is odd, I'm sure I'll have to pay that when the shoes arrive...)

                        shiiite, I hate living in an uncivilized country. Seriously thinking of giving up dayjob and become a fullday importer or odd drygoods from abroad... 😶

                        any use IJ?

                            question on Iron Heart special order jeans:
                            I know if we contact Giles on a specific inseam, they can make that inseam for us from the factory (e.g. ask for a 40 inch inseam).  If I ask for a 32 inseam, does that mean it's created from scratch as a 32 with no hemming?

                                  Yup, all delivered at the length specified in the sizing charts and just chopped and chained on Unity, if you need a shorter length:

                                    …but a longer inseam would be possible? (speaking of slowing down the production)... And how much would that cost?

                                      No, we used to be able to do that, but it proved to be too disruptive for the factory, so max inseam is the inseam that is quoted in the individual product sizing charts…............

                                        A question for all/any  textile experts:

                                        Do you think Nikiwax or any other off the shelf waterproofing formula will work on 9634s?

                                        I am trying out an alternative to purchasing 804s.

                                        Thanks for any insight.
