@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.

@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

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

[Tago Mago]

@legedema that depends on what exactly you are looking for. In my opinion number one priority is fit, so try to get that right first. In general, your denim will fade over time but they all start in a fairly uniform colour. If you do get the opportunity to visit the Hamburg store have a look at the different denim weights and cuts on offer and see what works for you.

Also check out the cuts and the denims on the Iron Heart website
