      They are duck, and I vaguely recognise them, but can't remember the Lot Number or if indeed we ever went into production with them....

      Meaning they may have been Japan only?

          @Oaktavia Well, that conversation didn’t go into my memory banks…lol. @scooter thank you for letting me know and hopefully I can remember it the next time an orange thread question pops up… 🙂

            I have a brand new pair of XHS. Haven't soaked/washed them yet. I lost some weight during summer and there's some excess fabric in the back. If I make a very very hot soak and then machine wash them (cold or warm), will shrinkage be permanent or will stretch back to pre soak measurements? Of course inseam and hem will not. I'm asking about thighs, front and back rise.

              @goosehd somehow I remembered...it may be due to my semi recent bout of sobriety, or maybe my hyper fixation on double duck would prevail regardless.

              Anyway I'm still searching and I found 23oz duck/duck which if you keep scrolling you will see @Giles adds,

                @boutsk With the XHS, you will probably lose about .5” and up to 1.5” in the waist washing it that way. The waist will stretch back out while the other areas (unless they are under tension) should not.

                  Thank you. Have you got any idea how much will lost at front and back rise?

                        @boutsk “up to” means you “may lose” not “will lose” a half inch.

                        This is not an exact science and I’m afraid to put any definite numbers out there. Your results could vary from that number and is more of a generalized number from many users past experiences.

                        You have to decide if a half inch will get you what you want or not.

                          And product care guidelines:

                          Temperature is one factor, agitation will also affect shrinkage

                            But as @goosehd mentioned, there is no precise rule that if you do x you will get y amount of shrinkage

                              Found the model number and info about those ducks I posted about last night. 818 Indigo duck loggers 20oz. Finally, it took a lot of searching.

                                IH-888 and White's Nomad Engineer Boots

                                Greetings all!
                                Hoping someone can help me with this. I own pair of Iron Heart 888s (size 35) and I'm considering buying a pair of White's Nomad Engineer boots. I'm not sure, however, if the pant opening will fit over the shaft of the boots. Does anyone have experience with this?

                                  @jhewing Other users have worn 888's with engineer boots with no issues. I'm not sure about the White Nomad's (as I have no experience with the brand), but you should be good.

                                  I also moved your question to this thread.

                                          Whenever I buy a garment that is measurement dependent,I buy the shirt and put a note in with my order. The boys at IHUK have always been able to find find the perfect shirt for me,but if for some reason they couldn’t find a shirt with the measurements I was asking for,they would have to refund my money,but I think that,in that case,IHUK would still be on the hook for the credit card transaction fee. Is there a better way of doing this? If you don’t buy the shirt and it’s a particularly hot item you run the risk of missing out. I just hate,in this case,seeing the credit card companies getting free money,so to speak.
