        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?

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

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

                    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.

                        @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

                          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

                            @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

                              Super Black Non Fade is my recommendation then. In Hamburg represented as 777, 666 and 634 (Edit: Just seen they are sold out).

                              Black/Black 14oz perhaps.
                              The 777 and 634 are available in Hamburg.

                                Does anyone have experience with getting more than 1 inch (let's say 1.5 inches) of stretch out of 21oz superblack non-fade in the waist? I feel that's fairly easily done on regular/OD pairs, but can't find much definitive about superblack non-fade. Not necessarily looking for methods of getting it there, more wondering if it's in the realm of possibility

                                  @akohut I have only experience with one pair of 9634, and that feels like it's going nowhere in terms of stretch.

                                    I fully concur with Tody’s info.

                                      @tody @motojobobo the product page says the 888s (and all other superblack non-fades, i believe) are good for an inch. you aren't even getting that?

                                        @akohut It doesn't say so on the IH-634S-SB product page, and I'm not getting an inch in stretch with mine.
                                        @AdamC Maybe you should look into the descriptions here!

                                          Thanks @tody @SamD can you take a look to make sure this is in all of the SB pages. Our experience is that this superblack selvedge denim does have some stretch with wear, and we say approx one inch but as you know it is not an exact science
