@Oaktavia I have an indigo version from 2012, if you're interested.

Man I’d love one of those shirts. We should do new ones.

@seawolf @Oaktavia PM please if the discussion continues. Thank you!

@Tago-Mago I thought that @AdamJ might have been the inspiration for this story:

[Oaktavia]

@AdamJ Oh shoot I actually have the 2012 one that looks nearly the same. The red font differentiates it from the 2011 one. Still rad as hell, I love me an indigo dyed tshirt.

I asked this question in the wrong place, probably, so I didn't get an answer because of it.
First
I think there's too much space between size 36 and 38, for me personally it is very difficult to find suitable jeans and I'm sure I'm not the only one who has this problem. It is clear to me that this is not common, but I just wanted to mention it as an idea or as a comment for a possible new size 37.
Second
I'm missing a measurment hip in size chart. I think it's very useful in combination with Waist and thigh. In this way, we can determine much more easily whether our pants are too wide in the upper part.

Yes!

@Hajduk-0 Sorry about that, but I read your other statement as more of an observation instead of a question. I believe this question was asked once before and I’m working through the old posts to find an answer for you.

Maybe @Giles can chime in when he has a chance or one of the IHUK crew.

@Hajduk-0 Here is the previous answer for the hip question:

“Nor will we be adding a hip measurement…In 10 years we've been asked for it 3 times. Plus the way we run the compare sizing option, we try and make sure that the same measurements are on the same line so that the compare is easy. If we add hip measurements to new products going forward, we screw that up, so the only alternative is to go back and measure every size/model and update all the measurement tables. 1) we do not have time 2) we do not have all the size/models of extinct items to compare.

And guess what? If you email us and ask for the hip measurements of a few pairs of jeans, we'll happily provide those.”

The 37" question is one for @Alex . It will increase our investment in stock, I'm pretty sure very few of the retailers will pick 37's up (not many take 35's) and I am not altogether sure whether we will substantially increase sales...

[Alex]

Not something we’re looking to do in the near future, despite your concern being completely valid @Hajduk-0

@goosehd @Alex and @Giles
I really appreciate a quick and concrete response. Thank you
This for hip measurement I'm sure to beg you for a favor when I buy the next jeans, I really don't like it when they're baggy.
For size 37 I thought it wouldn't be made but I wanted to try because , for the accident I'm just between 36 and 38
Anyway, It's always a some 38 with smaller sizes. I just have to be patient, hehe.

@Hajduk-0 as previously mentioned the guys at IHUK are more than happy to measure the stocked items to find the one piece that fits your requirements best. Just message them at shop@ironheart.co.uk and they will get it sorted

Why are bibs called bibs? Is that an abbreviation, and what‘s the etymology of this term?

Why do so many builders refuse to wear high-waist jeans?
