In my opinion their sizing corresponds well with typical American sizing.

@Mizmazzle. I took xl in Anderson full zip wool sweater and I wear 4xl in IH UHF. I could off went with 2xl Anderson but I like it fitted.

They are very special to me. I am fortunate to have a few pairs from Mike. I got his 634 SR UHR and his PIH5dct the 25oz double indigo with the turquoise arcs. We had become really good friends. The Iron Heart forum brought us together. One of the reasons that this place is so special to me.

Coreect! @nurunuru . Thats the one

Its probably 4 years old or so

This has some history. Was originally bought by Mike (@Filthy2123ozjunkie ). He lost some weight so we did an exchange with something I had in a smaller size.

Thats it right there @Giles

@Mizmazzle. I do lift weighs regularly about 4x per week. I treat my low back like every other muscle and not an afterthought or something I need to be careful about. I squat 2x per week and do direct low back work after squats. It took me along time to get where I am at. I started very very light with the low back but consistent. It took 8 to 9 months to feel 100% pain free but I shaw improvements at month 3. The back extension is your friend.

Happy birthday @Jett129

Back pain including chronic back pain is a consequence of a weak and tight lower back. Most remedies on back pain used by main stream focus on core stabilization and bracing but never address the real issue. I had a pretty severe injury about 20 years ago weightlifting. I hunted me for years. Feeling better and flaring up for no reason. Simple tasks as lacing my shoes can cause flare ups. I tried all the stretches and core exercises but nothing had lasting effects till I realized that I wasn't addressing the real issue. I started strengthening my low back directly. I mainly used the back extension machine and just body weight. I good place to be is a static hold for 120 seconds.. if you can do that work gradually increasing reps till you can get to 30 reps just body weight. Once you achieve that start adding some weight. 3x per week is a good frequency. It will take a few months to really see results but I am at a point that I cannot injure my back anymore. I can put my back I all kinds of compromising positions and feel confident that nothing will happen. Sorry for the long post but for most people low back issues are curable with the right approach..

Lovely fit @RoxRocks86. They look great

@gneicher. Yes I believe that the 888XHSib is the only one that has tonal stiching in the 25oz family currently.

@MarkNo . The high rise is probably the only similarity. The biggest difference is from where the taper starts. The 888 starts tapering from upper to mid thigh all the way to the hem. The 1955 taper starts below the knee.

The 634 is a timeless cut. Never goes out of style so it makes sense ro be the number 1 seller.

Yes you are correct

@JohnM. Not quite as stretchy. The 16oz stubby stretches the most followed by the 21oz. You will get stretch out of the 14oz just not quite as much as the other 2.

@indigo_nico. From my experience with multiple IH-25XHS the only thing that doesn't come back to pre soak measurements is any shrinkage in the length the shrinkage innthe width always came back

Now I am definitely guessing but I think the 634 is the most popular cut. Again pure speculation. @Alex and @ Giles will know for sure.

Happy birthday @twin

I dont know how many wears you have on them @Yoprst but they will soften up for sure. Just keep wearing them and don't worry about it. It will happen gradually
