IH-803-indigo - Denim Herringbone Logger Pants

[Go For Chill]

Had to do the shorts mod. These Texas summers ain’t no joke! I decided on an 8” inseam, and dusted off my rusty sewing skills.

@Go-For-Chill Very nice dude! What part of Texas are you in? I live south of Austin in Kyle.

[Go For Chill]

@Danimal506 Nice! I know Kyle. We used to go through there on the way to New Braunfels and Corpus all the time. I’m in Fort Worth.

[Go For Chill]

@hairydangler I love these. What do you call them? High waters? Capris? Shants?

[Danimal506]

@Go-For-Chill Nice!

[SourPower]

@Go-For-Chill these are just amazing, great work!

@Go-For-Chill it could be an optical illusion…but the 803s look longer while you’re wearing them than in the picture where they’re laying flat…

[Go For Chill]

@Mizmazzle You know, I thought the exact same thing, but yea, just an optical illusion.

I was originally going to make them a 6” inseam to match another pair of shorts I like, but the wife wisely suggested that the denim shorts should be just a touch longer, so 8” it was.

This 803 short conversion is too good not to get in on! Just snapped up a used pair on Ebay...thanks for the Q&A @Go-For-Chill

[Mizmazzle]

I got these 803s cheap on eBay cause they have some stains behind the knee and are hemmed kinda short. Had every intention of doing the shorts conversion…but have to say I’m digging em like this too…

@Mizmazzle. They look good man. Don't look short to me

[ZackB]

@Mizmazzle those look pretty damn good as pants.

[Mizmazzle]

They do look sweet as pants…but I think I’m choppin em anyways haha. I think they’ll get worn more as shorts.

[SKT]

They do look good but I say chop ‘em!

[Mizmazzle]

@SKT “off with their legs!!”

[tody]

@Mizmazzle I say don't chop them. they fit perfect as they are. rather look for another pair with a crazy short inseam on ebay or buyee - i see that all the time, 38 waist, 28 inseam. that would be an ideal candidate for the choppig block.

@Mizmazzle
absolutely agree with tody , don’t chop

[Mizmazzle]

Well…it’s done. The lady I took em to for the hem job was a salty ol gal to say the least and I wasn’t sure what I’d get as she didn’t have much patience for me explaining the detailing I was after. All in all she did an “ok” job. I give Haraki all the credit for how cool they look.
I took cues from @Go-For-Chill on the double knee detailing.
Please excuse the sickly pale legs.

@Mizmazzle turned out great! I’d be a happy camper

[Mizmazzle]

@SKT thanks my man!!
