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

[Giles]

Duck (which is canvas) is not as inherently stretchy as denim.  Canvas is used for ships sails exactly because of its low stretch, which means they keep their shape…

If they were a low rise pair of pants I wouldn't like 'm… They have a high rise...

@supersalami:

so guys, what do you suggest i do when I get my hands on a pair of these? there seems to be a debate on soaking and what not but from what I read there seems to be not much of an outcome. So should I soak them before hemming?

I'd atleast wear'em a few days/weeks before hemming, after the creases are set you then can go for a hem job without a peoblem! soak isn't necessary imo!…

this is what I do as well

Finn go and cop em

I'll reiterate my post. These don't really stretch. I feel like the fabric and constructional stitching settle down and that's where the 0.25in came from in the thigh of my pair. The waist has also settled out to about 35.25. As for all this soaking nonsense, don't do it, just wear them until they need a wash, then carefully wash.

Me and Mrs P are laughing tears….

@natehate:

hey g
just wondering why there is such a drastic jump in some of the measurements between the 36 and 38?
ie hem and knee
most sizes go up by like .2 or .3 at a time and then the 36 to 38 is almost a full inch jump?

Well, I guess the main (and obvious) reason is that most of the other sizes go up in 1” steps until we get to 34 - 36 - 38 - however I checked the measurements and they are correct.  In fact we only have one pair size 38 left and these are coming out at pretty much the published sizing, maybe a tiny bit smaller.  We have six pairs size 36 and I measured them all, sizing variations are:

Waist - from 34.5” to 35”
Thigh - from 12.5” to 12.8”
Knee - from 9” to 9.3”
Hem - from 8.5” to 8.8”

Thanks p. I'll just put off waiting until I can get into the 36 then
