Definitely. Using the size chart and not the waist size when looking at different materials in the same fit is the way to go.

[popvulture]

Agreed. I've got 3 pairs of 634s at the moment, and each fits a little differently. Some are 33, some are 34. I once tried the 634 in the natural indigo, and neither 33 nor 34 were big enough. Definitely varies, chart is the best way.

@T4920 for some reason it wasn’t giving me an option to view any footwear threads, from the main page. No biggie.

Here’s a noticing I’ve been kinda curious about;
Since getting into this heavy weight clothing game, I find myself wearing more/ heavier clothes like jackets and flannels during times of the year where, in the past, I’d have been wearing just a t shirt. I simply can’t wait to start wearing my gear when coming out of the summer months.

Is it psychosomatic, or do I now get cold easier than I used to? Is that a slight breeze I feel on a 70 degree day? Better grab the uhf and leather jacket!!!

[WhiskeySandwich]

@Mizmazzle yup, same. Probably just conditioning and adaptation of your body to regulate its temperature control. Not weird unless you’re rockin uhf layers with winter jackets in the summer while everyone else is wearing shorts and tank tops lol

[Mizmazzle]

@WhiskeySandwich hmm…so you ARE saying I have a problem??

[WhiskeySandwich]

@Mizmazzle lol, don’t we all!? If you get asked regularly “aren’t you hot in that??” You might.

[Mizmazzle]

@WhiskeySandwich shit. I think I might have a problem. Where ever could I go to talk about these issues with folks who understand…

[WhiskeySandwich]

@Mizmazzle right here brother

[Mizmazzle]

@WhiskeySandwich where would we be with out this place?? Just a bunch of well dressed sons of bitches trying to tell our coworkers about “cost per wear!”

@WhiskeySandwich said in There's no Such Thing as a Stupid Question:

“aren’t you hot in that??”

The number of times my parents have said that to me over the years, you would not believe.

I got a IHSH 352 Red XXXL and it was too big.
Then I got a XXL and it is tight in the armpits.
Is this cut just not for me? Should I go with the work cut?

[WhiskeySandwich]

@nickname Depends where it's too big/small. If you're having fit issues, the best way to find out what's is to do the old "measure your best fitting shirt" and adjust as taste/comfort dictates. Many of the cuts and sizes vary by piece, so always go by exact measurements, as specified here:

To add, the work shirt is a bit looser in the pits I think. yup.

[Matt]

@nickname try the work cut. Westerns are slimmer.

I noticed a couple of my shirts (ones with the side gusset) have opposite felled seams on the torso and sleeves, I figured this to be an interesting quirk of the order in which these garments are constructed. However, some shirts are not constructed this way. I've tried to come up with a rationale behind the differences and asymmetrical construction, but that's as close as I've been able to get. What's that about?
