      Shirt tuckers:

      Have you had any experience with indigo transferring from the inside of your waistband to your shirt? Do you usually wait until a certain point in the fade-life of your denim before you tuck a white shirt into them?

      Really wanting to tuck my new off-white 414 into my jeans so I can wear it to work, but I'd be crushed if it became a tuck-only piece.

        Leg lengths

        I can’t be the only one but are leg lengths getting shorter? I have just washed my 21oz 777 from the latest batch and I can only get a small single cuff. I like to have a Tokyo cuff and could only just manage before a wash and then only with certain footwear otherwise it would look like my trousers were too short! I am 6’2” so not a giant either. Personally would like a minimum of 37”. Seeing as most people seem to get them hemmed judging by secondhand sizes can’t see this being an issue?

          @Gavin666 I know this has been discussed before and am trying to find the answer for you. Maybe @Giles or @Alex can chime in.

            One of the answers I've come across regarding the shorter length on the 777's is that having them longer (37") and hemming them affects the overall taper and could be the reason that we are seeing 35.5" lengths. This is pure speculation at this point and will keep reading through the various posts.

                My 777s are some of my shortest. I think what @goosehd said makes sense.

                  I would be extremely surprised if inseams are getting shorter, and if they were it would be reflected in the sizing chart upon restock . For any given model they will be what we originally specced them to be. But they do vary between 33.5 and 37 depending on model and articulated in the sizing chart. In fact some models have a longer inseam the larger the waist. Making all bottoms 37+ would mean we get fewer jeans per roll, so we tread a line between utility and price.

                        @SamD …or romance novels from the 80’s.

                        Tom, with his thick blonde hair, bronze skin, and blue eyes took Margaret by the waist and pulled her body close to his. She tried to resist, but deep down she knew she wanted to kiss him. The sound of the ocean lapping at the shores made everything feel right as they embraced…is this right, is he the one. She didn’t care…

                          Why is it that waist sizes are required “the Iron Heart way” on the market place, yet that way is used nowhere on the IH website? Just a random pointless curiosity.

                              @Go-For-Chill Are you talking about the way Iron Heart measures all of their jeans and is in this video:

                                @Go-For-Chill. Because the Iron Heart tutorial and the sizing charts corresponding to what the seller is posting so there is consistency across the board about sizing that minimizes mistakes. I have found that although thatbis the idea, some sellers still post incorrect measurements.

                                  The reason it's in the marketplace is so that everyone is using the same method of measuring so that it minimizes variance and unhappy customers both from IH and from private marketplace sales.

                                  Thank you @yannis

                                    Yeah @Go-For-Chill those videos are a great resource. It's good to know all the specifics ways that IH measures their stuff, but the waist technique is the most unique. I'll agree with @yannis that there are still some inconsistencies you can run into out there in the world, which I suspect boils down to whether or not someone pulls the waist super tight when they measure it, or simply lays it as flat as possible (which is what I do), or even just kinda half-asses the measuring. All that said, I think the IH method is the best for the brand because it's the in-house point of reference.

                                      All of the answers make perfect sense. It might be nice to see “ the IH Way” measurement listed on the IH website. I know I’ve come to understand and use that measurement a lot since getting into IH.

                                        @Go-For-Chill I don't know what you mean mate. All the measurements on IH's website are done with measuring the IH way. This is clearly stated on the product pages.

                                        Are you saying that you think the waist measurement row in the sizing tables should literally say "Waist - measured the IH way"?

                                        Take the dive...

                                            The best way to determine the size you need is to find a similar item that fits you well, then measure the same way we do (see “How We Measure” tab) and compare with the measurements in the chart below.
