IH-666D - 17oz Duck Slim Straight Cut Jeans - Brown

[RP]

Giles-  You may want to adjust the information in the Sizing section, as it appears that there are references to shrinkage which must be for the raw 18 oz. denim 666s.

Thanks RP

Ordered.

So which size did you go with?

[Seul]

Biggest 33" there was (special thanks to Paula).

[thomasnunnally]

Well I will be interested in seeing them…I would like pair, but I can't make the thigh work without sizing up too much.

any chance for the same?  the measurements of the 33" looks spot on except the waistband thats all.

Any chance to get them hemmed with red?

[Giles]

Possibly, let me see if I can get some off Haraki…...G

I'm not having mine hemmed because if the waist doesn't work for me, I'll swap for a 34. So I'll let you know on Thursday (that is if Paula doesn't find another slightly bigger measuring pair)!..

thanks a lot buddy! awaiting G to get back on me if there's any bigger 33" left. anyway what's the measurements of yours?

[Seul]

32.5". Pretty worried that won't be big enough, but have to try. The thing is that from experience I know the duck fabric doesn't stretch nearly as much as denim… So if it's too tight from the start, they'll be heading back to Gosport...

Seul, i am hoping the same for me but with a 38w. 37 is basically as snug as i can go and the 13.3 thigh is also about as small as i can do aswell. Really hoping there is a slightly bigger pair of 38's there (fingers crossed)

I think you'll be fine. I just ordered sz 36. I know they're difficult to stretch but I'd assume .5-1" of stretch after 20 wears is totally possible.

I did get 25oz. to stretch

Careful Urbs, Denim is a twill weave and is predisposed to change shape and stretch.  Duck is a "plain weave", that is one thread over another in a one-one relationship, it is not designed to change shape or stretch.

[pillowPANTS]

I hope it will work out for both of us Urb. I know we have both been pretty excited about these

Should I go for si2 30, my waist size is around 29.5. Scare 29 will be abit too tight or 30 will stretch out and be loose.

[Giles]

There is little stretch in duck, I'd be tempted to go for 30…

[Raymond]

Tempted to go for size 30 too in case it is too tight for me, am inside camp now, using bb to surf, hopefully next fri when I bookout there will be some left, in the meantime I can take my time to consider.
