@goosehd 0.5'' total or 0.5'' front and 0.5'' back?

[goosehd]

@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.

@boutsk from XHS product page:

And product care guidelines:

Temperature is one factor, agitation will also affect shrinkage

[Tago Mago]

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?

[goosehd]

@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.

@goosehd Thanks.

[jhewing]

@goosehd ...much appreciated. I'm new and wasn't quite sure where to post.

[goosehd]

@jhewing No worries as we all start at the same place. Welcome

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.

So... Brund is getting a collab UHF and no one has mentioned this on here? Really?

@tody it was theirs to announce….

[tody]

@Alex Well, they have done so on Instagram - not really a secret anymore, right?

[Alex]

Haha, no not at all. We’ll get a thread going tomorrow now they’ve spilled the beans

[Tago Mago]

@Alex You've set the bar damn high with the German Party shirt. A tough act to follow

[legedema]

first of all I am new to this forum and also new to Japanese denim.
will try to visit Hamburg shop the other week and would like to ask you for your recommendations.
I do like wearing jeans even for business meetings but considering those faded jeans, I think they just don't fit with a blazer.
do you have any recommendation for me for choosing the better option.
I also prefer blue collar to black

[Aetas]

Hi @legedema
Look here. Take the 721 as a starting point.
IH has a lot to deliver beyond their adorable denim.

[Tago Mago]

@legedema welcome to the forum. FYI, I have moved your question to this thread.

Agreed with @Aetas on the chino recommendation. You can check the non-denim/non-duck options. Different cuts in multiple colours to choose from

[legedema]

thanks for your reply.
but just checked Hamburg web site and seems like they don't have the 721

do you have also a recommendation for jeans with blazer
