Where can I find these in 11.5 or 12 blue or olive WTAP x Vans

Why can't their be more stuff made for tall people with long legs and long arms. Finding clothes is like panning for gold.

I recently bought a pair of IH-666S from Self Edge online. I got the size 38 as I asked around regarding my measurements and this size was supposed to be ideal. After two 60 minute hot water soaks, they're still a little roomy. When measured across the waist, as shown on this forum, there's about a half inch more than I need.

Any recommendations on what to do to make them fit better? Taloring? A hotter hot soak? I'd rather not sell them if they can be saved. They're such beautiful jeans.

^a hot wash should do the trick!

[gziomek]

I'll give that a shot this weekend and let you know what happens!

[Peter]

but as long as theyre not falling down and the fit elsewhere is fine, is it really a problem? most of my jeans are a little loose in the waist. a hot wash usually tightens things up though; the added agitation makes em shrink more than just a soak.

They do stay up, just sit a lower than I'd like. When I belt them, I can feel the waistband bunch up a little in the back.

Anybody ever have a order that says "held at warehouse" on the tracking??

[mclaincausey]

Yeah, and then I got an empty box with a note from US Customs…

[ohighyo]

Excuse me???? Empty box?

did a hot wash and hang dry and they fit perfectly. Thanks so much for the recommendation.

[Giles]

Yes.  Nothing to worry about.

Guys,

This is my first post… I've set my heart on a pair of 666XHSs, but there is a problem as there's no stockist (AFAIK. If I'm mistaken, please correct me.) in Melbourne.

I'm size 29 in Nudie Grim Tim Selvedge with some room to move in the waist. I'm saying this in hope that someone would be able to suggest the right size in IH for me to get based on that info... Should I go 28? Should I go 29?

Many thanks!

It's all good. On truck for delivery today.

Bloody Perth. Is that part of Australia?

[Giles]

No idea and I don't suppose many people care do they?

[RocknRoll]

Perth people are a fiercely patriotic bunch. By all accounts it's a nice place, but so damn far away. From here (Sydney) to Perth is about the same distance as Gosport to Cairo!

[Giles]

I'd certainly rather go to Perth than Cairo…..
