Thanks @Alex , I thought that might be the explanation. No need for you to try, L looks good for me!

I'm a little confused by the info about what the crew wear on this one. Between this and the navy one, it looks like Adam C wears L, and Alex and Josh wear XXL. Adam is slightly bigger in the chest than Alex, but wearing two sizes smaller. Josh has 40lbs on Alex but is wearing the same size. @Alex are you sizing up to get the extra length because of your height?

@motojobobo:

Excellent fit on those 9634Z @den1mhead

Second this. Whole outfit looks great, one of yours best IMO @den1mhead .

Picked up the 555-01 with the restock a few weeks ago. Thanks very much to Graham, Adam and AJ for sorting me out with a pair with the right measurements. I've got the 555N too, which I love, but to get a big enough thigh I had to get a waist that was too big to start with, and has now also stretched. So I was keen to get a pair in this fit that wouldn't have too much room in the waist. These are size 34, with a waist that measures 35.0. Ideally I’d have had another 0.5” less (or maybe even 1” given how much they stretch) but with a belt this is OK. This is the first pair I’ve decided to have hemmed to no-cuff length (31”), which I was a bit scared to do, but I think it’s worked out well.

Thanks guys! Good to be here.

I've been a member for ages (first IH purchase was 634s in 2016) but have only posted a couple of times. I feel like I ought to contribute pics, but don't have a decent camera and haven't yet worked out a convenient way of taking photos. But here's one anyway - new 555-01, worn for a couple of weeks since I picked them up in the restock. I'll put details in the product thread if the picture turns out to work…

As for me, I live in London but I'm from Manchester (can't state the first without adding the second). I love the friendly feel of this forum, and having been reading so long I feel like I know several of you fairly well without actually having joined in.

Edit: how can I make this image appear smaller?

I see, thanks! Sorry for jumping the gun!

New measurements are given for sizes 34 and 35 but the shop page still says no pairs in these sizes?

@Giles:

They arrived yesterday, but we were super-busy processing the weekends orders, so we did not have time to make them live.  Likely to happen today.  But the sizing is different from the last production run, so take extra special care when ordering.

Ah, just as I was thinking I could finally fit my thighs into them after a lengthy injury-enforced squat layoff. I'll wait and see how the measurements turn out…

@Alex:

Currently 180 pairs somewhere between Japan and the UK in a brown and yellow vehicle

Awesome.

Is there another restock of these in the pipeline?

Awesome, thanks guys.

If I'm an XL in the IH-9526PJ with only a T-shirt underneath, am I likely to be an XL in this worn the same way?

I know that's not the best comparison, but I don't own any IH shirts, and I don't trust my own measuring (plus the fact that the shirts I have are all lightweight) to just go by numbers.

Thanks!

Selvedge or no?

Thanks guys, that's really helpful. @Wlemon your pics have been influential in steering me towards this shirt actually!

I understand that the overdyeing process makes this shirt a size smaller than it otherwise would be, which presumably accounts for Sam taking an L instead of the usual M. But then what accounts for Giles taking two sizes larger than Sam rather than the usual one? (I ask because 'one size larger than Giles' seems to be a pretty good rule for me!)
