Haha realized that made me sound broke.
I just hate it when charge takes forever to be freed from being a hold, but that wasn't the case this time.

Next up is the indigo 888 + I have the XHSib so that'll be a nice 3 pair rotation.

Blessed by the wife and immediately placed the order!

[J5nerd]

Any of these instore? I’d like try them on before committing. Could be nice to get sent two pairs if between sizes to get the preferred fit instead of guessing

[goosehd]

@J5nerd what store? Have you checked with the stockists in the first post?

I noticed the 38 sizing changed to 37.1" waist, I'm looking for a size close to 38" waist to start (to stretch to 39" final) and a 14.2" thigh. Would I be safe to ask for the largest size 38 you have? The size 40 dimensions as a whole are too big. I will be sure to order right away but just curious how much variation they might have. Looking forward to this one!

Thank you for pointing this out! I ordered the 34 cuz I’ve always been an IH 34 but it looks like everything is one waist size down than normal. Asked to swap to a 35 which looks to be still in stock

Yeah, the chart had some errors in it, we have remade it. Sorry

Alex, what does it mean - "sorry"? For me it means minus 1" in the waist. I've ordered size 32 which turned out to be 31.4" instead of 32.6" declared earlier ... Yes, you may say I should check better while placing the order, but shopping for premium price tag items should not remind walking through the minefield watching closely your every single step, should it?

[yannis]

It means he realized that there was a mistake in the sizing chart and got corrected so he apologized. It also means that we are all human and mistakes happen. It also means nobody is perfect. If the pants do not fit I am sure they will do right by the customer as they always do.

@Yoprst has your order been shipped already? If not, I would drop IHUK an email at shop@ironheart.co.uk and ask them to change your order to a 33. I am sure they will be able to accommodate this request

No it wasn't shipped yet. Not sure if size 33 has no measurements deviation. I always wonder where and when in the jeans industry size tag become meaning something else but it's own size in inches, i.e. 32 means 32", 33 means 33" etc.
Being back to the issue, all I need is the waist being as close to 32" as possible.

[Tago Mago]

@Yoprst then I would email them with that exact information. I would also check the measurements on the tag 33 just to be sure. If they look better then I would ask for a change in tag size

[goosehd]

@Yoprst it does not mean 32 tag size is 32 inches. Particularly in off the shelve mass produced jeans when a tag size 32 is vanity sized and could be an actual 34 if taking a measurement.

As has been stated numerous times with IH tag size are only a guide and always trust the measurements. Always.

Dear Yannis, you may have overlooked it, but my message was addressed to Alex. Are you Alex? Did he asked you to be his advocate? If the answers to both questions is "No", than can you kindly stop lecturing me on other people business? I'm grown up enough to handle my communications with other people by myself. There is no need in having a finger in every pie

I'm well aware that those times when tag size corresponded to the actual waist measurements (like vintage mass production from Big Three) are gone, as well as the fact that the bigest size deviations in denim industry concern asian markets, and that's exactly one of the reasons I prefer IH to other japaneese brands, cause IH is known being quite precise in the tag sizes.
Anyway, I'm sure that my issue will be resolved the best way possible, I just was unpleasantly surprised by that size chart changes at the last moment

[yannis]

So you asked a question for only Alex to respond and you chose to posted on the general forum for everybody to read but dare not respond. If that was the case a DM would be more appropriate. I mean you positioned yourself for me to read your nonsense but not respond. Just brilliant!

The mods deserve a raise for the stupid/ignorant questions that get asked daily...

Shit happens, man.
