Ha I am still rocking my original IH-701 … alas they are finally really starting to fall apart on me though.

How does the material & fit compare on these to the 701?

Ahh crap… time to offload these and size up then haha

Anyone ever size down in FH jeans? haha

Long time ago I sold a pair of 30x33.5 F310 on here, they fit slim but after just a couple hours of wear I was getting major diaper butt… way on down the road decided to try again with Sz 29 F310 to see if I could avoid the diaper butt situation but I bought them real cheap somewhere and they sat in my closet for maybe a couple years now?

Finally decided to break em out soak em and try em on and jesus these things are like painted on jeggings. I've worn them for around an hour now and they ARE stretching out but these are so damn slim. Yikes. My wife apparently really likes the way I look in them but i'm sitting here praying they will continue to stretch and eventually allow me to breath. Surprised I haven't popped the button yet.

I wear Sz 30 in typical IH jeans... DC4001 and 634s are still my current. Self edge measurements of the Sz 29 F310 and Sz 30 DC4001 seemed fairly close to me but I am far more comfortable in the IH.

How much stretch can I expect in the F310 model? I'm around 6' tall, 150lbs with super chicken legs.

Anyone have a pair of these in 30's olive/khaki in good condition they'd be willing to part with?

I'm still rocking the IH-701's in olive/khaki/black and all three are on their last leg popping buttons stitching etc

Send me a PM

Well, the button popped off my olive pair last night and I was in shock haha. Just washed & dried all three pairs over the weekend and then wore the olive yesterday… went to take them off last night and I don't know if the belt caught it funny or if the thread just finally gave out after almost 4 years of constant use but I bent over and heard the loud pop and I just stopped and said ... NO! haha Wife is going to sew it back on soon... first pair of IH anything that has given way so far (outside of the chainstitch on my DC4001 that came lose of course) so I'm pretty proud

Fantastic fit, looks great!

Still rocking in daily rotation my original IH-701 in olive/black/khaki… all three have faded quite a bit and the black pair don't look so hot anymore haha

Are there any plans to bring these out (even in a future release) with colors other than khaki/olive?

Never got them hemmed, I just cuff them up once and go with it. Surprisingly these have held up extremely well I have no holes in them and no problems along the bottoms of the cuffs where they've always been folded. Been through the machine many times no problem. I do like the idea of a slower fading version though... these started getting fades/creases upon washing after first wash.

These are still my go-to pair when I'm not wearing one of my IH-701… now a busy father with two kids and pets I've stopped babying my jeans and soaking etc I just wear and wash in the machine like normal but they've held up tremendously. Only one hole in the back pocket where I keep my wallet and the chainstitch on the left leg has come undone in the back so I have big heavy thick threads coming down. Wonder how long these will last me.

@lamdog123:

This stuff is all fairly cheap, is there a reason why this is all size 40? Is this some guys personal collection he's selling off?

***Also, I see some older FH stuff on Rakuten Global that I may be interested in… does anyone in the US have experience ordering directly from them? Do you get hit with hefty customs fees etc?

Clicked on Brown Large and… 0 available. Argh.

Paid off all my debt with this year's tax refund check and was looking to rack up a little more with this and a vest but looks like that's not happening today.

Considering picking one of these up… been awhile

I typically wear a large in IH Shirts and Jackets and a 42 in FH, what size should I go for on this?

Thanks guys!

Holy crap Chris i really like those Palladium i think they're perfect… thanks!

How do they fit? True to size? I wear 8.5 to 9 in shoes depending on the brand (7.5 to 8 in most actual boots)

*I went ahead and bought the Baggy Leather Gusset in Charcoal from Amazon ... going by the sizing info on there and other reviews these things should fit TTS like regular shoes and not boots so i'm hoping they work out. After doing a bit of research i've read that the company sold out to KSwiss a few years back and QC has supposedly gone downhill...? hopefully they at least last the two week trip haha

My GF saw them and had me get the Tactical model for her in Black. I was considering those as well but i'm hoping for snow while we're there and i figured the Gussets would work better for that.

This is sorta unrelated, but i was wondering what everyone suggests for a decent winter weather boot/shoe that looks closer to a sneaker and can be obtained quickly for under a hundred bucks

Going on vacation for a couple weeks to Mass soon (22nd) and all i have are old skate shoes at this point… i bought a pair of New Balance H710 and don't like the way they feel when i walk in them (and they're not exactly water resistant eh) so i'm returning them... then i looked at the Nike Mogan Mid OSM and thought they looked ok but then started reading reviews and people complained about the seam that connects the tongue to the shoe seriously hurting their feet. Pass. Grrr.

Any suggestions?

@ALEX1976:

can wait…have enough now;-)
but the blue is on ma radar:-)

Shirts look fantastic on you Alex!

I also have the Red, Blue, and Green… haha

I have been meaning to search out the "Mustard" but occupied with other things at the moment.

@Splattered:

Ive been busy and haven't taken the time to switch over these buckles yet… turns out the hardware on these things wont accommodate my tanner belts because the metal loop that swings down that you slide the belt through tapers inward up towards the buckle so... its too tight a fit. Won't even insert past an inch or so. I spoke to the guy that created them and he said he had some ideas that would work, but i havent heard back from him in awhile now.. he told me he has to keep going out of town (my buckles even initially shipped way way later than they were supposed to)

Does anyone have experience making modification to belt buckle hardware? I feel like if i got some pliers and pulled that little swing bar apart and put a bigger one on it, they would be fine? But i dont really know how to do it or a good place to get the parts?

Ok… super belated update on this hardware issue. Mark Joiner apologized that the hardware wouldn't fit even though he told me they definitely would prior to ordering... after i contacted him and explained everything he asked me to send photos showing him the issue then turned around and said he could fix it no problem... he had me send back a brand new tanner belt i had along with both of his buckles so he could fix it for me. It took him FOREVER to reply... several months. Finally he replied and said that he couldn't fix it with the hardware he had and that he would figure something out. Several months more passed before i heard from him again and that was only after i eventually emailed him again after getting tired of waiting. Finally after like a year and a half he said he was embarassed and that he would send back my belt and issue me a refund ASAP. It took him an extremely long time to ship back the belt and he forgot to ship back the roller buckle with it... never issued me a refund. Kept promising me the refund. Never came. Now his e-mail and phone numbers he gave me recently do not work. Even he admitted that i had been very patient and that he had been unprofessional. I am extremely disappointed in this guy and i only bring it up now so it doesnt happen to any other forum members that might see this thread and think... "whoa, those are cool buckles!" haha

Congrats 7Tacos!!!

Thanks everyone! Couldn't be more excited… or tired.

Didn't even notice the number of posts... that is awesome. I haven't posted much cause i've been busy pre-baby, and now i'm busy with the baby... i hope to be able to come back and say hello more often eventually.

New addition to our family says hello… gotta love the gas smiles haha

Am i crazy or was Adam Levine from Maroon 5 wearing a blue Flat Head flannel on tonight's The Voice…? O_o

Received the 7001 shirt today, fits great and is in nearly brand new condition… it's pretty thin though. I expected it to be a little thicker from some of the pics i've seen of it by Giles etc and maybe from handling the IHSH-33... haha
