IH-806 16oz Japanese Double Knee Overalls (Cotton Duck Brown and Black)

[Alex]

@popvulture:

are these in regular production in Japan?

I don't know - they are listed on their stockist, but with low stock. They may be planning to run them again, but I suspect we are out of black duck.

@popvulture:

This thread has ignited a fiery new bib lust.

There may or may not be another type of bib being phoenixed on a website near you this week (or early next - UPS delays) that I spotted hanging around in Hachioji

[popvulture]

That's cool! I'll keep an eye out.

Will we see brown duck bibs again?

[Alex]

Maybe, but not in the near future

[Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot]

I’m a patient man….

[Alex]

I am pushing really hard, just a case of getting the timing right

[Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot]

Legend! Happy to hear, man.

Do you still have the sizing chart for this item please ?

@Raisinoux

[Raisinoux]

You the best, thank you ^^

[Raisinoux]

I've never bought anything in duck, is 21oz of denim thicker than 17oz of duck ?

[endo]

different, 21 oz denim is thicker, more breathable, while the duck is a bit thinner but much more dense

[Raisinoux]

@endo Thank you ^^
There is one last size 32 here, i thought it would be for me as i need something around 32-33 in waist but it will be too big unfortunately

@Raisinoux the sizing chart only works of your comparing them to other overalls. The fit isn’t the same as pants. Overalls should be loose, not pants tight. I wear 32 or 33 in jeans depending on the cut and my bibs are 34s. A 33 might have been ok but aren’t made in that size.

I don’t know if you’ve worn IH bibs before but if you think they might be too big they’re probably ok.

[Raisinoux]

@Matt I had the 805 size 34, thought it would be good at first but it was honestly pretty baggy on me, i let it go in the sale section, a size 32 is only 3.5cm less in the waist, maybe it would be good, maybe still too big, i want to think i may need a 30

[Raisinoux]

On top of that duck fabric being lighter compared to a 21oz bib, if measured the same way there will be more room inside the duck so it's not really 3.5cm in waist between sie 32 and 34 but maybe less, like 2.5-3 cm... Or maybe i'm just thinking too much ^^

[Raisinoux]

I have always been sizing the same as Sam, maybe he can remember which size he was wearing in this bib

[goosehd]

@Raisinoux Sam hasn’t been at IH for a few years now…

[pechelman]

Also waiting on a restock. Is it fair to characterize the waist measurement more like a shirt opening? Eg if a shirt fits well at 20ish inches I should be looking for a 40" waist?

[Alex]

@goosehd that Sam, we have another one now. Just to keep everyone on their toes
