They don't make em like they used to… oh wait, Iron Heart does!

@thomasnunnally:

Just got these back from the tailor.  When my wife picked them up, he started telling her how it was such a nice fabric, and asking how heavy it was and if it was waterproof.

Hem job is pretty good too.

@tigerpac:

Wonder if I could pull those off in a business casual office setting… hmmmm!

Even with workboots underneath they look smart…

[davito]

Yes Seul this pant suits you so well, nice combo. Think i need this Navy duck as well some day.

Tigerpac go for it man hehe

^yep, can't beat navy duck and #8 shell …

As you can see I've shortened these from the stock 36" inseam. I wanted to shorten these for a single break so I washed them first to get rid of any shrinkage, I can report there isn't any, so no need for anyone else to wash before shortening.

Quick thread colour test on the off cut, original is on the right, the blue I picked up from Giles seemed a bit too bright, so i went with black in the end.

I've kept to the 1 inch hem, original is on the top.

[Finn666]

are these going to fade and get lighter with wear?

normally yes, right?…since they are made out of the same fabric as the 666D or 2526J for example!

[Seul]

So far no fades on my 816s… Was wondering the same... 

[Giles]

They'll all fade.  My blues already are…..
