            @Matt have you seen those narrowboats? Doesn't seem like a bad plan, roaming the canals with the pensioners.

                I think a big downside to British boat life is that it's cold as nads. Not sure I could take it, haha… seems charming on many levels, though.

                        What about the 888 is attractive compared with the 633?
                        @neph93 availability at the time. and even today, I don't think the 888 in 21oz are restocked anywhere. I think the thigh in the 888s and top block in general would work better. Although the 633's have conformed and stretched well to my body over time

                          Attractive is subjective.  What you find attractive someone else may not  🙂

                          IH-888S-21 is due for restock any minute…..

                            Hello all!

                            What is the typical default/ sample pattern size for a new cut of jeans? Is it 32 or something else?

                              It has traditionally been W34  because that was @Giles size. May be different now.

                                For me its the thigh measurement and roomy top block. After years of heavy squatting I have a large caboose and thicc thighs. In a straight cut like the 633 or 634 I'd need to size up twice to get the thigh room I need, but then I'd have a big flapping waist and pants that fall down. The 888 just fits my proportions perfectly.

                                Take the dive...

                                  Came up this weekend when someone was remarking on the long sleeves of my Anny shirt after I let them try it on. I replied that that's a feature of the "western" style of shirt. What's the historical/functional reason cowboys needed longer-than-normal sleeves? My best Google-fu can't find an answer…

                                    IH has longer than average sleeves on western and work so that they do not ride up your arms when leaning forward on your bike.. Handy for the taller non bike riders, too..

                                      The reason I got into IH in the first place. Finally shirts that actually cover my wrist, and don't end up on my elbow when reaching out for something 😃

                                        Can confirm when on horseback and holding/maneuvering the reins, my western duck cpo sleeves work better than other shirts I wear. I like the longer sleeves.

                                          Why? It seems like a completely academic question….

                                            I had a tough time deciding between them.
                                            888 has bigger pockets, which is probably not important to most people.
                                            What I found though is if you have a belly that sticks out like I do, the 888 is going to sit too low.
