IH-805 - 21oz Indigo Selvedge Denim Double Knee Overalls
-
There will be pics, probably at the weekend! I've tried them on at work already, and will change into them when I leave but they're not really office wear….!
-
First quick pics of my W30 IH-805 bib overalls:
-
Front detail and fit.

@Jeansman, cheers peter!
-
Lovely, Steffen! Are they a new pair?
-
no, the overall fades quite slow, plus the light is
bad on that photo. try to take some evo picts soon. -
The reason I thought they were new was because of the label…..but I guess it was your Bread and Butter pass?
Mine are starting to show signs of wear - I'll try to get round to taking some pics.
What size are yours?
-
Giles, any chance of these making an appearance again? I love overalls for the winter, and I want to switch to good ones. I'd be wanting a size 30 probably, based on the sizing recommendations.
-
whoa. that's some sewing talent!

Mine are size 30. I'm 5 ft 10, 78 kgs, W32 in Iron Heart. I don't need to cuff my pair. I imagine they're designed to be worn looser than I wear them but I prefer them better fitting. Watch the nipple chafing straps
I guess @trail and arrow 's are a bit bigger than mine, so he may not suffer from that problem despite what is said about him in that department 
I'm planning on saving up for a spare pair in January, may be a trip down to Gosport to beat the winter blues! -
-
another one for peter:
-
Ah, yes! That shows them in a better light. Mine are not as advanced as yours.
-
@trail and arrow awesome stuff man, great fit
-
The patch on my overalls went nearly black when it got soaked in some mud and water:
The overalls had not been washed or soaked - it was their 1st contact with water. The soil is light brown almost yellow clay with some run-off from sandstone so wouldn't have been acidic. Any ideas why it happened and how to restore it @swiss-jeansfreak and @Giles ?
-
Since I have no experiences about washing because I never wash or soak my raw denim stuff, I have no idea how you can reverse this. I don't think this is possible. But Giles knows more about this I assume.
But the overall look already amazing break. Keep go rock them hard for ever!!! -
Ah yes @swiss-jeansfreak ! There is getting soaked meaning getting very wet (while being worn) as happened here) and soaking as a process ie leaving clothing in water for a long time. I did wash them water (always in cold water) but the damage was done when they got wet/muddy while being worn.
