Oh wise ones how do you size your bibs? My best fitting jeans are ~18 -18.5”. Did you try to match your best fitting jean size to your bib size or slightly larger for a more relaxed fit? Thank you for sharing your collective wisdom
-
@Inorganic I wear the same size in my bibs as my jeans but YMMV.
-
@Oaktavia thanks!!! By size I think you mean waist dimension vs tag size, right? Based on tag size it seems these run a big - I usually get 34 but the 32’s are showing that 18” sweet spot.

I'm usually a tag 34 in jeans and also took a 34 in 805s. Think of the waist measurement on bibs to be a bit more like a shirt hem opening.
This is the same for me @Inorganic
-
@pechelman & @Oaktavia very helpful. Thanks gents
-
Well that escalated quickly…..is there some sort of rose ceremony that happens now? The fit is spot on (these are the 34’s)
-
I dunno about roses, but there's certainly a patch you can get now
Great fit @Inorganic !
-
@Inorganic woah that was quick! Those look like a super nice fit dude. How they feel?
-
@Oaktavia i know right!? it was lightening fast. I tried them on and putzed around the house (its hot here in Portland, OR) - they feel great - there will be some getting used the feel and form factor - but I'm stoked to get these in heavy rotation.

@endo thanks! I'm looking forward to another IH journey

@Oaktavia you know it!!

Y'all remember my disaster with the duck bibs from last year?
That was an old pair of IH-806, and they fit horribly.
Tag size 38, was way too tight and shoulder straps were too short.
I never measured it properly, but rather sold it instantly.
Maybe I should have, just to make sure the pair a) was tagged correctly or b) had not been tampered with.
Because take a look at how the current run of IH-819 in size 38 fits:
Fairly wide even, probably should have also tried a size 36.
Not decided yet, though. My wife already has the black wabash, and I didn't like the blue.
But if the hairline duck ever makes it into production, that is a strong candidate! -

@tody I can only recommend them! Soft, relaxed, cool, different!

The posts in this thread make me excited for September, looking forward to trying on the black wabash
