ah right, haven't seen this before
(now I remember being forced by G to be interviewed, how embarrassing, these parties leave traumas)Yours truly made an appearance too, just after you! I thought Diego was part of the IH Crew making a video. Nice guy.
Nice close up of your... arcuates.

@sabergirl That makes sense, I'm over thinking again anyway. I was reading through the IHSH-20 thread and saw your posts. Grey one is killer! On my wishful radar. Trifecta l would be a dream.

@sabergirl dude that's awesome! I got mine from Clint too. What a trusty dude. Please post a trifecta photo when you get the chance :spock-hand:

I hope people don't get sick of my sizing questions. I bought my first IH shirt less than a month ago and I am eyeing up my second one. I would like to get a 5.5oz Selvedge Chambray Short Sleeved Work Shirt - Indigo Overdyed Black. Most of my shirts are medium, which held true for my first IH shirt. My measurements are p2p of 21.5 and waist of 20.5. My issue is the medium shows measurements of p2p = 20.9 and waist of 20.4 while the large shows p2p = 21.5 and waist of 21. The waist is almost perfect for the medium and the P2P is perfect for the large. Any idea which I should go with?

@JasonT The best thing to do when making a purchase is to put a note in the comments about your concern and the guys at the shop will try to accommodate your request.
You could also email them in advance and ask for assistance regarding sizing issues and questions. Email: shop@ironheart.co.uk

@JasonT I completely agree with @goosehd. Size variation might mean there’s a shirt with perfect measurements for you.
My only other thought is that you might end up not wearing the shirt much if it’s constricted around the chest, but you will probably be able to live with a bit of extra room at the waist.

So I’m just starting my first pair of SBG 666 21oz. I was doing a side by side weight comparison vs. my 21oz 888 od. By hand, the od feel a noticiable amount heavier. Don’t have a scale. I suspect the OD makes them a bit heavier, perhaps the slightly fuller cut of the 888 adds to the mass. Thought I’d see what the great minds had to say on the matter.
-
@Mizmazzle Just weigh yourself wearing one pair then switch to the other,with everything else staying constant.
-
@Jett129 got my hands on a scale. 21oz OD weighing in at 2lb 4oz while the 21oz SBG coming in at 2lb 2oz.
So 2 ounce weight difference. I found it interesting the OD felt noticeably heartier. Love the velvety weight of the OD. Course the SBG is still new. Hasn’t picked up any dirt and oil yet. Could change the hand feel in time.
-
@Mizmazzle That’s pretty interesting and I definitely geek out about stuff like that,but with the 888s having a higher rise and I think one more button and bigger thighs than the 666,that the difference would be more than 2 ounces. Are they both the same tag size?
-
@Jett129 ah! SBGs are a 32 while the ODs are a 33. Interestingly they both measure an exact 33” waist, as this is where I seem to level out with waist stretch. Also both hemmed to a 32”
I think the extra button and fabric of the higher rise and wider thigh May be at play. But I tell you, the feel of the denim itself seems thicker and heavier.
We’ve brought science into it. Yet it’s speculation that holds the most “weight” in my mind. The OD fabric is so velvety and drappy.
Such a failure
