IH-729-OLV - Cotton Easy Shorts - Olive

[pechelman]

my jean waistbands stretch to ~35 to 35.5 and while I can physically fit into a size 32 easy short the elastic is basically fully stretched to get them on. Size 34 in these was the way to go for me.

To me the best approach for this kind of short is an elasticized waistband paired with a built-in nylon webbing belt with one of those buckles where you pull on some excess webbing to tighten, and pull the buckle outward to quickly release tension. The third product shot here has an example: https://www.prana.com/p/stretch-zion-slim-pant-ii/1969831.html

As a man who feels naked without a belt, this really is a great thing.

Just pulled the trigger on a size M last call, so y'all better be right I'll find out in a few days.

Finally warm enough to give em a wear. I could have gone larger but these are definitely fine!

These dropping will probably bring an end to the heatwave

[will6er]

how much stretch are in these? I recall a lot but can't find for sure?

[Jord]

@will6er I have a size medium pair (W30) and I'm around a W33 in jeans...

edit: the waist is good, you should just double check the thigh measurements/rise to be safe IMO

Looks like an inch each way looking at the sizing and comments in the purple variants chat.

Iron Heart Germany will also restock this

[Gavin666]

@ShopatIronHeart not sure what size my purple were as the sizing has faded off but are these measured with the waistband loose, not pulled tight?

[Alex]

Measured without tension @Gavin666

[Gavin666]

@ShopatIronHeart is the thigh measurement to the index finger or the middle (which is where it goes when they are laid flat) please?

[Alex]

@Gavin666 like this

[Gavin666]

@Alex yes but when laid flat it goes to the middle finger and the measurements don’t compare to the size chart. When I measure from the seam it does compare including the waist. This is on my pair from the last run. Sorry photo didn’t load

[Tyler]

@Gavin666

I see what you mean here!

The thigh is measured from just below the seam from where the fabric starts. It's best to make sure the thigh you are measuring is completely flat.

It helps to pull the other leg up slightly so you can get full access to the flat side but this isn't vital to get an accurate measurement.

I've added a photo to illustrate the best position to measure the shorts and hope this helps!
