      Do you think I could get 1.5 inches with something like this?

        @aimes Maybe yes, maybe no…how much have the pants been stretched already, are they new, what material are they made out of, etc. Numerous members on the forum have used them in the past with varying results.

        One popped his jeans button off his pants using one (or maybe it was the car jack method).

          Thanks guys for thinking of me! I have been pretty absent here, sorry. I'm afraid I had and have some things to work out and have a bit moved on (also because I try to stay away from temptation haha). But maybe it would be a good idea to show up more frequently and toss up a pic or two. But beware, I've changed to wearing slim fits (still enjoying my leather gear though). Have a good one and maybe see you soon.

          (BTW I'd have loved to got to the Hamburg IH party but then a Metal Festival came along that I couldn't miss out on).

                @goosehd Hey goose, these would be new. 210z 888s indigo. Basically, I'm a 37 waist. The 38s are too big and the 36s fit great except the waist is 1.5 inches too small. Thanks

                    @goosehd with some real pressure applied 1.5" shouldn't be too hard to achieve

                        @Max-Power haha I hear ya, man — the temptation factor of the forum is astronomical, was just chatting with someone about this the other day. Nonetheless great to see you pop up again! Don't be too much of a stranger 🙂

                          @aimes @AdamJ has some great advice there! Take it slow and you might make it work.

                          Also a pro tip is to send a note to the crew specifying what waist you are looking for in the notes/comment section when ordering from IHUK. They’ll try their best to accommodate you. 🙂

                              Indeed I do, I sold a few items but this remains a grail item for cold winter days. My old IHM 08 (m65, hope I recall the number correctly) and ihj 35 are also still going strong.

                                      Has anyone here removed a satin liner from a baseball cap or other hat? I have a Capas brand linen cap with a satin liner and it has exactly 0% breathability and I get overheated every time I wear it. It seems easy enough to snip out of there but I’m wondering if there’s something I’m not considering.

                                      You should be able to just flip up the sweatband and snip or seam rip it out. Only issues you may come across are unsightly exposed seams on the inside that weren’t meant to be seen, or possibly the underside of the top button on the inside may feel uncomfortable on the top of your head. I’ve done it to some and the bottom of the snap slightly pulled the hairs on the top of my head.

                                      That hat looks like one that was made from a company I worked with for years in Newark, NJ. If the white union size tag has a BHM or an HC on it, it was one of ours.

                                      IHSH-20-Red, XL

                                      IHSW-45 Black, M
                                      IH-526SV 21oz type III, 38 or 40
                                      IH-777S-SB size 32
                                      IH-777S-142 size 31 or 32

                                        Thanks @chrisjohnnick ill check out the tag tomorrow and try and remove the liner. If the under side of the button tab causes issues I’ll find a solution with a piece of tape or similar.

                                          @aimes You might be surprised at how much you can get from the 21oz denim. My tag 34 888S-21 started at an actual 33.8 waist, but stretched to an easy 35 with a couple of days of regular wear.

                                          If you're between sizes like that, I'm sure the crew will be able to dig you out a pair that's actually around 35.7 or 35.8, which should get you to 37 inches once you start to break them in.

                                          I'd see how they actually fit on before spending money on gadgets or possibly damaging the jeans.

                                          Take the dive...
