Tagged Size vs. Actual Size (Sizing Questions & Advice)
-
Hey there everyone. Ever wonder how someone else sized on a item, what someones measurements are, or weather or not you should size down until your nuts are squashed into oblivion? Well then, this thread is a perfect place for you and those pesky questions that you may feel the need to ask. Enjoy it in here!

Just an observation but it seems to me that a good majority of sizing mishaps around here have more to do with the buyer than the garment. If your body size, shape, form consistently fluctuate then most likely you are the one with changing sizes not IH.

Couple of IH garments that are not true to tagged size:
- IHXB01 (waist is 1-1.5" smaller than tagged size)
- IHSH-08(SS) (runs half a size smaller)
- IHW-01 (runs half a size smaller)
- IH-9527J (runs half to a full size smaller)
Maybe this is helpful, maybe it adds to the confusion… Anyhow: all tested by me, and that's what I experienced...

Thank you for you additions Seul! This is definitely the place for any and all questions and answers, or confusion regarding sizing. Cheers

Would be nice to have all and every sizing question in here… Would speeden up the process of any of us answering, and would stop cluttering the threads...
I'd say 'sticky' it/ a link in every IH subsection (shirting/ bottoms/...)?..
Of course: actually reàding the threads might also help in most cases…

Seul, now you are catching on. Wish people would have been using this all along. Tell you what, when I come upon sizing questions that have been asked and answered I will quote them and throw them in here. I will even throw up the ones that have not been answered. Just hope people have figured out how to quote properly so this doesn't turn into a waste site. As for reading through threads, yeah that would help EVERYONE!
-
Yeah I'm coming to my senses… Will do my best and stop fucking up threads myself, and stick to the designated threads... What: it only took me 2 1/2 years!..
Lando: so we can answer people's questions in the thread they post in and you'll move it once answered, right?..
Seul I mean that is fine since it pertains to the actual product and is helpful for those that actually read through the product thread for accurate info. Once it goes off topic or people start saying that they like your advice or "+1" to your advice, it gets silly and I delete. But yeah, just answer them there if asked there and I will do my best to quote them here. Obviously if someone asks a sizing question here (which is encouraged), then feel free to answer or whatever. Also, if there is something specifically you think should be in this thread, just shoot me a PM with a link to the info and I will get it over here. Cheers

finn, what do the 7301s measure now? of course when you get the chance to measure

I apologize if the answer to this question is readily available elsewhere, but I couldn't find it specifically discussed and this might be a good thread for it anyways.
I am trying to figure out sizing based on what can be expected after soaking and then breaking in. I think in order to get the fit I want, I need to size down. I'm concerned that I will end up with something a bit too tight in the waist though.
My question is, if I can expect to lose an inch from soaking and gain an inch by wear, does this mean I should expect the original measurement to be the final measurement? Or can I expect to gain back the inch from soaking and then another inch from wear on top of that, resulting in a final measurement that is about an inch more than the original?

doomtop, what pair are you curious about? Sanforized or Unsanforized?
-
Excuse my naïvety, but I think I mean Unsanforized. If it's Sanforized, then it won't really shrink much but will expand a bit with wear, correct?
No need to apologize. And yes, you are correct.
I'm not sure what direction I'm going, but I was looking at the IH-666S specifically when I made the post.

Based on my experience with the IH-666S, I would say that the waist on this denim is pretty "stretchable" if you will. What does the perfect fitting pair of denim you own measure (The IH Way) in the Waist? This will help determine what size you would take in the IH-666S.
