Thanks for the input.

Realistically I would be wearing with a t shirt 90% of the time. I'm going to try on again but think you might be right on the sizing. Its like new and quite stiff, so I think that might make it feel smaller than it actually is.

Now, just the small issue if finding a size 40!

[neph93]

@ironmind you could probably size down, although at the same time it does objectively fit you and looks good. Sizing down would certainly ameliorate your concerns with sleeve length a little.

However it is worth noting that sleeves in IH jackets (and often shirts), are often quite long by design. I’ve always embraced it. To my eyes it doesn’t look off on you at all.

If it was me I'd size down.

[krebsy]

If you are happy with the rest of the fit, you could always unbotton the sleeves and roll them up. That's what I do with my 101J, which is probably a size bigger than I need. I wear it in the winter over heavier layers, so it works out for my use.

I own a lovely pair of IH-720-OLV 11oz cotton whipcord trousers.

Unfortunately I am struggling with the thigh area being a bit on the tight side.

Is there be an alternative pair of trousers in a different cut that would be more suitable for me (i.e. a bit more of a generous thigh area) that i can replace these with?

Cheers in advance for any thoughts…

Are videos of how UHFs are being made?

When using a belt, do you put the belt under or over the leather patch?

[goosehd]

@Denman-John I always do under…

[Tago Mago]

@Denman-John always over, because sometimes the patch is sewed on all the way round

[pechelman]

If it can go under, it goes under. If not, well, you get the idea.

[ZackB]

+1 for under

[JunkPants]

@Denman-John Always over.

[Brian]

Over for me also

Thank you gents. Putting a pair of 634S into rotation and figuring out how to wear them with a belt. All my IH jeans/pants are workwear and don’t have a leather patch (except my 805s, but I don’t wear a belt with them). Thanks again!

I only own brown boots. Should a guy have some black boots too?

[tody]

@SKT yes. And @Mizmazzle as well as @flannel-slut and me will argue that you definitely need olive ones. And then it‘s up to @Daniel-San to talk you into burgundy…

[SKT]

@tody ha! And who will talk me into purple?
