Has anyone else found the buckles on these belts to be defective? I have had the prong fall off two of these belts. Not what you expect for the money.

Buttons for braces? Can these be added to jeans? Or an old style workwear denim trouser with buttons and belt loops, even a cinch? My weight can fluctuate and when I am less lardy I can’t get my jeans to stay up.

Depressingly as I get older belt and braces seems like a sensible idea.

Perhaps I just need a bolt to the head.

Pandemic has been great for me, more time for exercise, meditation, yoga, baking, cooking etc.

But I have lost 1.5 stone and some of my jeans have not shrunk with me. What would be the best way to shrink them - each pair I have had had a hand got wash before being hemmed.

Should I try as hot a wash as possible in the washing machine, inside out but with a gentle spin cycle? I don’t have a tumble dryer.  Need to permanently lose at least an inch from the waist of the trousers.

After sneaking around my wife’s wardrobe I have done a little measuring and taking an average of an x small filson men’s shirt , medium Filson women’s shirt, a large men’s  pendleton and large women’s  Pendleton that she wears.  It appears she is somewhere between a l or xl men’s purple from IH. There isn’t much between all of the shirts them, just the women’s shirts have a more accentuated waist, the shortest sleeves are on the Pendleton men’s shirt.

@RoxRocks86:

Haha. No worries you have plenty of time. If this item is in the UK you can order it right away. If it needs to be ordered from Japan, I can honestly say I’ve never had to wait more than 2 weeks. Depends on your location tho. Be sure to check with the crew with what’s available.

Am I right in thinking that the ladies sizes are just smaller versions of the standard garments, as opposed to being cut differently for female body shape?

Oh Christ, this is going to be costly to our household. Any idea of the lead times? It’s my wife’s birthday mid December and then there is Xmas

Purple ladies shirts, what are the measurements?

I could be about to make my wife very very happy

She keeps complaining IH should make women’s garments.

I have some bad news for you. They do. By no means every shirt, possibly only 10-20%, comes in a Ladies S and M. @Giles stocks only a very few, however it is sometimes possible to get others over from Japan.

Yep. The wife's wearing some IH stuff regulary… she likes the UHF a lot, wears a 33 in S and has some hoodies, T's,  too. Ordered the Purple Rain in S for her and she should receive a pair of white overalls soon 

Reassured this isn’t only happening in our household, as fast as I find clothing for myself (Pendleton, Filson, IH) my wife then wants similar for herself.

My wife has shirt envy. I have a Pendleton shirt that I bought off eBay but was not the listed size was too small. Vendor didn’t want it returned at their cost to the USA so my wife has it. Will now have to see how it measures up against these shirts to see if I can buy her one of these. She keeps complaining IH should make women’s garments.

@Flannel:

Really surprised to see this is still readily available in most sizes. Some great colourways this year but, for me, this is the killer.

Where are you? UK has sold out of quite a few sizes.

Am a little surprised at how long the arm measurements are, am hoping it fits as there are no xxl left and the xxxl that should fit my chest measures at least an inch longer in the sleeves than my cpo jacket and cordura work shirt.
