@wjw This is a good question, but I'm curious to how many 3-4X they sell compared to smaller sizes, maybe they just market to their target demographic with sizes that sell the most? Not sure but don't see nothing wrong with that
-
@wjw it would be helpful yeah? Especially with bottoms. The hem on a 38 is a lot different than a 32 as an example. Is something different with tops I can't think of?
-
This is my 2 cents worth input, I think these sizing questions are like beating a dead horse. I'm getting a head ache constantly reading the same requests, questions, complaints, and then appropriately answered. It kind of gets to a point of if it's not working, then maybe it's time to move on to another brand.

@ROman no single company is perfect. Example is Iron Heart's sleeves. Perfect for me! Usually I need to size up past my normal in order for a long sleeve shirt to work. Not with IH though, the bike rider sleeve length works great for me. The opposite is the jeans fits being a little to wide. Still wear them though! Again nobody's perfect. Also I didn't see the posts as complaints really. Just an actual request that made some sense.

I like a nice nep

@wjw I suspect the model sizing has to do with all the samples being one size (large I think).

@NickD totally makes sense

@ROman not complaining of the sizing, would just be cool to see someone that has a closer resemblance to my build in the pics.
I wasn't referring to your comment.
-
@wjw. What size are you?
-
I'm 3-4x and 36. I appreciate seeing all the regular dudes post here haha. I also appreciate when the product pics has Courtney because he is the bigger model. It would be cool if the product pics used several models because it seems like most the time every product just shows one model wearing whatever piece. But I also understand that the production of the modeling photography is probably a lot of work on the business side of things. And that everything always sells out super quick with current practices.

@wjw. We were the same size or close to it. I am 4xl on most tops and the sleeves are always long. Not a complain they just are. On bottoms I am 36 and sometimes 38. Both work. Cuts 666, 555 and 777 are a no go. Thigh too small. 634 and sometimes 888 works. Now I do not have a typical build for my height and there is no way IH or any clothing company can design clothes for outliers like myself. 182 cm tall about 5 foot 11 and 3/4. 112 kg with a 36 inch waist and 28.5 inch thighs.
-
@yannis yeah we are pretty close. 6', 225lbs, 3X-4X. 37" waist (post stretch on all the jeans), 13.5"ish thigh. Been loving the 634 cut.
-
@wjw. I am a 634 all the way also. My favorite cuts are 463 and 634.

As for sizing questions… there’s a sizing thread. Maybe direct all the sizing questions there. Or use the advanced search feature or read the threads since every sizing and fit question has been asked a million times over the past 20 years.
I am quoting the above, because I could have written it myself. Thanks for saving me the trouble @Matt
But to expand. One of the aims of the website was to have some semblance of consistency with our presentation of products, that includes similar sized models which makes comparing the look of different produts easier.
One of the main aims of the forum was to give people of all different shapes and sizes the opportunity to post pics of themselves in our products, i.e. to see what "real" people look like in our stuff. That is the main reason we have the "Discuss in Forum" hyperlink on product pages. Maybe we could word the hyperlink better, so it is more obvious. As it stands it looks like the call to action is for your to do something, but actually it is to read a load of useful info....

And I think the forum has served this purpose amazingly well for all these years! The problem is, folks like to pop-off and just post their immediate need question, and don’t take the time to read or explore any of the information that came before. The number of repetitive questions in the recent Self Edge threads nearly drove me batty.
