      Just seen on another vendors site who are selling some Viberg copper task rough-out boots, that they are listing them as calf-skin, so two questions, are the IHVB-03CT calf-skin and are the IHVB-04-B-O-T the same?

                I wore my 555-01s for the first time today and that bulgy thing on the pocket bags kept poking the side of my hips which was quite uncomfortable and slightly painful because it is very thick.

                Has anyone else experienced this? What can I do about it?

                  Keep wearing them.  As they break in, that area will mold to your body and stop being uncomfortable.  Probably wouldn't help much, but you could also wash them and then put them on while they're still a bit damp.  That might help speed up the break-in process.

                        Hi, new to the forum (and, it seems high end denim).
                        My question is regarding the facility to email enquiring about sizing.
                        I seem to have dimensions which are not "average" (are any of us average?)
                        Could I mail someone with my measurements and get some advice on the best fit for me, as well as sizing/shrinkage?
                        I'm not able to try any on befor I buy.

                        My previous foray into "premium" denim went badly when some supposedly "sanforized" jeans shrunk horrendously (in the length) leaving me £130 odd out of pocket!

                          Giles is the man to ask, there are also plenty of forum members with lots of sizing experience who would be happy to assist you mate. Feel free to drop me a message if you can't work out how to PM Giles (go to messages at the top of the forum).

                            You can ask us as many questions as you want with the exception of questions like this:

                            "I wear an L in a off Mongolian camel hair and alpaca vest I bought 65 years ago in a street market in Moscow, whay size will I be in Iron Heart"

                            But, in all honesty the best thing to do is what we suggest under the sizing tab:
                            Important: The best way to determine the size you need, is to measure a similar item you already own and compare with the actual sizing as per the table below. Do not go by tagsize alone.

                            To see how we measure click on the "How we Measure" tab (on every product page.

                            If you still have questions after doing this, then drop us an email.

                            If you are a first time customer, Matt will see this when you place your order and he will be cross examine you about how sure you are that you have ordered the correct size anyway.

                            Getting sizing wrong, pisses us off as much as it pisses you off.  We try to avoid it at all costs.

                              Thanks guys. I'm quite large of thigh (and calf) and I have a nightmare finding jeans hence my hesitance buying blind.
                              I suppose the problem is; I don't think I own a pair which fit me perfectly and I don't know how IH/TW will stretch.

                                If you have large thighs then the 1955S are effectively your only option.

                                Work out what is wrong with your existing jeans and look at the sizing chart.

                                      I assume you mean the duck baseball cap.

                                      What size fitted hat do you wear? I wear a new era fitted in 7.5 (hipster style) next size down for a fitted normal look. If you have a bigger head than that it will not fit. The leather strap is maxed out on mine and does not protrude out of the metal clasp. I love it.

                                            Not to worry old chap the response was greatly appreciated nonetheless!  I did check out the duck cap but as I have a massive forehead the only caps that seem to fit me without looking ridiculous are engineer caps 😞
