Im curious about these for the winter but have never seen one in person. What temps could these comfortably withstand with say an unbuttoned 526PJ worn over it?

@yannis Copy that. Thank you.

Looks like most non-OD 777’s are the closest measurements through the thigh, knee and leg opening to my 888 OD

Just a question as I’m unsure.

I have these jeans in the OD version and absolutely adore the fit of them. Perfect in every way.

Are the OD versions pulled from the regular version of the same run then over-dyed or are the pulled from completely different stock. Just wondering if I could expect giving these a really hot soak to bring them down to the measurements of the OD version

Man, I was on vacation when this dropped and missed it. Can’t find an XL anywhere. Maybe next year

Ended up getting the IND and the OD CPO’s.

Had to go with a XXXL in the OD and think it’s probably going to be too big, but risked it for the biscuit since it was the one I loved most in the photos. Figured I wouldn’t have much issue selling or trading if it doesn’t work out.

Got my order in for the IND in XXL.

That site is seeing a shit load of traffic right now.

@Snafu Sorry I misunderstood what you were saying.
Let us know if you get an answer from SE about the sizing.
It looks like I need a XXXL instead of my normal XXXL, but I dont want to be swimming in it.

I wrote them on Instagram, I’ll report back here if I get a reply.

@Snafu The OD process essentially shrinks the shirt the most it can be shrunk.
So its essentially the same as the non-OD version hot washed and hot dried.
Being 1.5in smaller than there typical XXL measurement is pretty reasonable/ typical.

Yea, I get that, I’m just confused about how that particular seems to have had more shrinkage than every other size. Like how did XXXL only shrink .5 inch while the XXL shrunk 1.5 inch.

It makes zero sense to me.

I’m normally a XXL and looking at the OD version.

Having a hard time understanding how most other sizes are around a half inch smaller in the chest, but XXL is reported as 1.5” smaller. This has to be a mis-measurement, right?

I’m pretty certain the XXXL would be too big, but XXL as reported would be too small.

@VegaS10 Yea, I did some cross referencing IH measurements vs Self Edge and across the chest they always seem to report somewhere around 1-2" smaller.

I think going in knowing that -- along w/ what size you normally wear will allow us to make a somewhat educated guess. I'd just go look at the reported SE measurements of some pieces you already own and use that as the guide.

Definitely wish the IH guys were able to get measurements off first because, IMO, they do it the correct way.

Got mine from today from @Iron-Heart-Germany. Perfect fit, looks great, feels like I’m wearing armor. I love it.

Got my order in at @Iron-Heart-Germany . Can’t wait!

Was looking forward to this one. Sadly I had to skip it because sleeve length on these are way too short for me.

@Tago-Mago
Thanks for taking the time to reply. I never noticed the “compare” button so that’ll be a nice tool to use going forward.

I measured out a pair of jeans I have that I really like (N&F Shinigami - weird guy fit) and the measurements were all very similar except for the knee. The 555’s were a tiny bit slimmer at the thigh, and that’s exactly what I was going for. I think I just grossly underestimated the knee measurement (8.6 on the 555 vs 9.6 on the Shinigamis) and how that taper from upper thigh to knee can affect the fit at the middle thigh.

No biggy though, still in the learning process and atleast IH customer service is top notch.

I’ll definitely be comparing around to see If I can find what I’m looking for.

I have a lot of IH shirts, but have never owned a pair of jeans. Looking to rectify that.

I’m 6’4 usually between 197-200 lbs and a true waist measurement of about 37.5 inches (any fat I put on goes to my stomach, and my stomach alone.

I bought a pair of the indigo 21 oz 555’s in tag size 36 (37.4 inch waist) that came in today, and oh my goodness, they were unwearable. Perfect in the waist and top block, but could barely get them over my thighs. They were like tights from the knee up, but awkwardly baggy from the knee down. My wife said they reminded her of the 90’s women’s flared leg jeans, LOL. Weird thing is, I don’t think a single person in the world would describe my thighs as thick.

Thinking of trying a pair of 888’s, but the dimensions kinda make me think they may actually be too baggy overall.

You guys think they are worth a shot or should I just wait for new batches to see if measurements change?

Just ordered my first pair from IH Germany. Tag size 36. Hopefully they fit like I’m imagining they will.

@Bane said in IHSH-227-IND - 12oz Wabash CPO Shirt - Indigo:

What size do you guys recommend for 12 oz Wabash western shirt, Im 6’4, 230lbs? XXL or XXXL
Thank you

I'm 6'4 and 200 lbs and normally wear a XXL in Western cuts and an XL in Work cuts. Really though, you need to have a good idea of what your measurements are and what you like -- even then you cant just go off the tag size. One western shirt may have a 47" chest in XXL and another may have closer to a 49" chest.

I will say though, even though I normally buy XXL's, in most cases I could probably get away with XL. I like to have a little bit of extra room -- and since I hope for these to be "Heirloom Pieces" I have a little bit of extra room for growth as I get older.

Best bet is to take a shirt you already have that you really like the fit of and measure it out.
