      You have as much right to gripe as anybody, but actually with insights like that, I'd like to give you more 🙂

          @wjw I understand, but there really is not much we can do about that. If you are worried about how something will work for you. Buy it, and return it if it does not work, or buy 2 sizes and return the one that does not fit so well. If it's going to sell out, getting one back in stock after week or so is a non problem for us.

              Don't stop the suggestions, we certainly do not have a monopoly on good ideas....

                @sabergirl absolutely. A forum that I used to frequent, car based, the first post on every question was ‘have you searched’. People don’t mind sharing knowledge but giving the same answers over and over gets old pretty quick. It’s why it’s a shame Facebook killed most of the forums as it’s a terrible way of centralising knowledge

                      Having had the IH crew help with getting a pair of the 634 SB, it got me wondering, for future reference: If I’m between sizes (tag 31 and 32 for example) and am fussy/ awkward/ particular (delete as appropriate! ) is there a better chance of finding a larger 31 or a smaller 32?
                      Probably the answer is: “it depends “!

                        @Cymro “It depends” as every run is different. I too am in between sizes on jeans…sometimes 34, sometimes 35, sometimes 33, etc…

                          @Cymro what do you mean by "better"? Better than checking with the crew? Highly unlikely. It also depends on the individual measurements of an item, as well as the cut you are looking at. Overall, too many variables to give a definitive answer imo

                            …also, it depends on the material, treatment, cut, etc. Never a given and always best to refer to the published measurement provided in the charts.

                              Not a pair of trousers, but regarding jackets my A2 is an XL, my 14oz OD type is XXL, my Lefty OD is XXXL. So kind of illustrates what @goosehd mentioned above

                                  Sorry, did not mean better than checking. What I meant was would it be more likely for the IH crew find ing a ‘small’ version of a size or a ‘large’ version if Iwas looking for the ‘in between’ sweet spot on the measurement.
                                  I thought that what they did for me was really fantastic and i really appreciated it, and, even though I haven’t got many IH items, I’ve realised to check measurements and ignore the Tag Size!
                                  I was thinking of future orders (which there undoubtedly will be some!!)

                                    @Cymro I think if for some reason the item you were looking for ended up being sewn up a little smaller than usual,then you’d have a better chance of finding a smaller version of the larger tag size for that particular garment,and conversely if it sewed up larger. Not sure you can guess the answer to this question ahead of time. To circle back see Giles’s response..

                                      @Cymro one thing to keep in mind that I learned from my sizing queries with the crew, a smaller or larger individual garment will probably never have measurements that exceed the adjacent tag size. So if a 32 has a 13 inch thigh and a 31 has 12.5 thigh an individual 32 size garment would highly unlikely have a 12.5 inch thigh or smaller (just random made up example numbers).
