Managed to try on a Levi's type III today and while I didn't have a tape measure to get spec's I found the XL be a better fit. Still a bit snug though.
Maybe an XL in the 526 if it stretches some but looking at chest measurements for the Rider jacket, definitely XXL.
-
@CLJ:
Wishing there was a local dealer with the jackets in stock.
I need to try on L, XL and XXL versions of the IH-526J and Riders. Need to confirm fit.
I'll be there tomorrow, but I don't have either of those jackets in those sizes or else I'd let you try them on. I have a 527J XXXL rider and XXL 526SV vest.
I appreciate that mate! Got the best weather this weekend for your visit.

Anyone know a good spot to find some decent boots in TO? Whites,viberg even Redwings. Or where to check out some of Filson's clothing
-
I've looked and looked and there are no Whites or WESCO. Called both companies and they do not know of any distributors up here. Don't know about Viberg. Starting to see Red Wing's are more places than ever before. I've got all of mine from 'Get Outside Shoes' and they've been very good to me. There are a few stores on Queen St. West that have RW's and Wolverine (not my thing) but they're there. Take a walk on a nice day and you'll find them, drawing a blank on the names right now.
-
Thx CLJ. Ive heard of Get Outside before. I will have to go check it out. I usually go to Ransom and Adrift but i dont wear that style so much anymore, few items yes but not like 2-3yrs ago
-
Get Outside has a good portion of the line but none of the newer stuff yet. Really want to try on a pair of black Brogue Rangers in the near future..
-
I def need to try them on. Their sizes are all over the place. I wear 12 in sneaker, 11 in their round toe work boot and 10.5 in iron rangers lol
-
We need better boots suppliers and MORE IRONHEART.
-
Uncle Otis might have some interesting stuff - check out their webstore (http://www.uncleotis.com/) - they're up in Yorkville.
And, if I remember correctly, Oliver Spencer only has Filson bags and one pair of lined jeans.
-
No Viberg or Whites I am afraid. Uncle Otis for Filson and Get Outside for Red Wings.
-
It's a bit strange that we've never had a good boot selection out here. I grew up in Vancouver and I guess with the forestry you could always get good boots. I still have two pairs of Daytons that I bought 15+ years ago.
-
I suspect our population size doesn't warrant it. Very expensive stuff for a niche market. I think people are reluctant to wear nice gear in the winter on our salt soaked streets.
-
Which is dumb because this heavy gear is great for canadian winters.
-
And Viberg is a Canadian company!
-
I know this is a long shot but do any GTA guys have a pair of size 36 beatle busters?? I would like to try on the cut before buying. I only own straight cut jeans and am concerned about the…accommodations
-
You want to try them on to see how the competition jeans will fit? The 666s are pretty similar in cut if you want to try mine. Got 18oz and 25oz.
-
Guilty as charged. Probably the 25oz as it will give the closest feel to what the comp jeans will be.
Given that urban woodsman is in town on the weekend of the 17th and 18th I'm thinking we should have an IH meet up. Maybe at The Dogs Bollocks on Queen St. if thats good for everyone?
-
I'm out of town from the 16-21. Wife has a conference in New Orleans so I'm tagging along. Paid for the flight with AirMiles so the trip is basically free for me.
Let me know if you want to meet up before to try on the 25oz, otherwise we'll plan something for after I'm back.
