Here are estimated measurements for size M, assuming the same delta % in cm and inches

Here’s the measurements converted to cm for those that prefer that.

I had ChatGPT convert the difference to percent.

@Engineer-Goby Ok, thanks!

How are the double prongs to live with on a daily basis? Are they more difficult/fidgety to handle than a single prong buckle?

@Alex The 19L 777’s also seem to have a lower rise than the other fabrics. Love mine anyway but it wouldn’t have been a problem with a slightly higher rise.

The black 16oz SBG-denim of the 362 CPO shirt is incredible. How about 555’s/777’s (narrow hem please!) and a Type III in that same denim?

I have one too and it has shrunk a little bit after one hot soak and one wash, but it’s not a huge difference.

@jpvisual Yes, it’s definitely noticeable. Not a night and day difference of course but a slightly slimmer fit.

The BB will shrink similarly or maybe slightly more in my experience.

@Go-For-Chill The sleeves are a little long but it looks really good otherwise. I don’t think a L would work for you. It will probably shrink a little bit with a hot soak/wash and the sleeves may get a little shorter then. Maybe they can be further shortened by a good tailor.

@twin Thanks!

@Faded_Patina Very little

Here are measurements pre/post a (very) hot soak and some fairly violent agitation.

In centimeters
Shoulders: 46 / 45.7 cm
Chest: 57 / 56 cm
Waist: 53.5 / 52.5 cm
Opening: 54.5 / 53 cm
Length: 76 / 75.5 cm
Sleeve: 66 / 65 cm

In inches
Shoulders: 18.1 / 18.0 in
Chest: 22.4 / 22.0 in
Waist: 21.1 / 20.7 in
Opening: 21.5 / 20.9 in
Length: 29.9 / 29.7 in
Sleeve: 26.0 / 25.6 in

So marginal but still noticeable, it feels even better now. Super stiff after drying.

@gazza61 Thank you!

Here’s mine. It feels great, a little stiffer than the 295-BB like others have said.

I agree the hem is wider than I would have preferred and hoped for. And the annoying thing is that the 777’s are basically identical from the thigh and down. The difference between the models is pretty much in the rise.

I’m hoping for a slightly narrower hem on the I/B 777 or 555.

My b/b shrunk quite noticeably after a 40 degree C wash. I’m curious about the shrinking potential of the i/b too.

@CosmoSix5 A good tailor should be able to change snaps for you. Maybe you can just order the snaps you want from IHUK and have them retrofitted in the US?
