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

[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…

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

[Raisinoux]

@Matt I will use you as a comparison as you also wear size 32-33 here, could you tell me please which size you would take in the 888D ?

[Raisinoux]

@Alex Ahah yes i was looking at the staff vital's chart and was a bit confused between Sams ^^

[goosehd]

@Alex Did the UK have a shortage of names at some point…

Thanks for letting me know

[Raisinoux]

Ok i was about to pull the trigger but it seems that this shop in Switzerland doesn't ship outside of the country, so things are settled

[Matt]

@Raisinoux that sucks. Don’t give up though. The universe will provide eventually.

I don’t have 888 ducks, mine are 777. Based on the chart though I’d be between sizes. I’d want a 33 and since it wouldn’t really stretch I’m not sure I could make them work. Probably 33 though with a gun to head.

[Raisinoux]

I will try to reach them and see if they can make an exception ^^

[Alex]

@Raisinoux if you strike out, drop me a DM and I’ll see what I can do

[Raisinoux]

@Alex Thank you, i've sent an email 1 hour ago, let's see what's their answer ^^

Finally got one of these! Came back home from vacation, it awaited me in the DHL locker.
Size 38, unmodified, so the straps are long enough.

[Matt]

Excellent.
