        My sincerest apologies for not making it...
        Tried to join the brotherhood with a pair of 806 in 38.
        But the shoulder straps are too short. I'm fairly tall, 193cm/6'3", and even with the straps adjusted all the way down, it's still way too tight in the crotch area.
        So here's two pictures for reference, and a goodbye from this thread - would have preferred it had worked out in my favour 😞
        I have already passed this pair on to another IH nerd.

            @tody That’s a first…can’t you walk hunched over, throw your back out, or bulge a couple of discs?

            Good call on passing them on! Looks like you’re singing soprano.

                @tody bummer buddy! One look at that butt mirror pic says it all. Keep looking out in eBay, here and maybe eve Grailed to find a pair that may work for you.

                  I‘ll be on the lookout for an alternative, but will tread carefully. this endeavor cost me a shitload on shipping and customs.
                  Maybe @Alex or @Giles can chime in - is there any variation in shoulder strap length?

                    If you removed the sliding adjuster and sewed the clasp on at a fixed length to the strap that might have worked. Maybe?

                        Should be fairly easy to extend the straps. Maybe there's some extra duck material laying around (offcuts from cuffs etc) to keep it 100% Iron Heart.

                          I’ve always had a nagging doubt that my bibs (first pair ever) may be too small for me. Isn’t the bib placket too short for me? It stops midway between my waist and my shoulders. The straps are adjusted at their longest for this pic.

                            @motojobobo you know, first rule: if you feel good, it is good; and second, bibs can be worn different ways - so if your crotch region doesn't look like @tody 's IMO it should be fine

                              Mine came as an unexpected gift in 34. My 888s are 32 and everything else is 33. If the bibs had been smaller than 34 they would of have been too small.

                              They are, after all, overalls so being a little loose is how I think they look best. Try sizing up maybe?

                                I noticed the chatter about extending the straps on the bibs. I did just that. Mine weren’t long enough for my liking so had my tailor sew an extra bit of denim on. It ended up working perfectly.

                                  I’ve always had a sneaking suspicion that I might be borderline too tall for IH bibs at 6’1”. I suppose it probably depends on how much of one’s height is torso, but these are definitely made with shorter Asian bodies in mind.

                                  I still want to try some sometime 😂

                                      Thanks @endo and @Matt for your comments. Think sizing up must be tried next. I’ll report back guys, hopefully with pics.

                                      I’m at 6’1.5” @sabergirl so you might be right (AGAINNNNN!!!!). But I’ll give upsizing a shot and see how it works.

                                        It’s hard to tell from behind the bike but from what I can see I think a size up would actually look better. IMO

                                          @sabergirl Yeah, torso length is the key facto here. You were eyeing the Duck bibs, too, right? I haven't measured it exactly, but it felt like at least 3" missing from the straps to be comfortable.

                                          I had briefly considered adding some material to the straps. But for that to look right, I would have needed some extra (extinct) material, and then it would have been the question of where to add it.

                                            Yeah, those were the same ones, @tody. I think that adding that much to the strap also makes the bib part sit lower on the chest, and may look weird.

                                            @motojobobo I’ll be interested to hear how you get on with a size up, though that particular solution wouldn’t really apply for me, as I think I would already be getting a 38 which I’m pretty sure is the biggest size ever made in these.
