IH-816 - 17oz Duck Work Pants

[SimonQ.]

so are the longwings.

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

[Simon]

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.

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…..

[Finn666]

thanks G.!

this thread needs more fitpics btw.!

great job on that smart cuff & nice shoe. pleasantly surprised by just how "nice" these are.

short review:

• these are un-fucking-believable! comfortable straight out of the box and that 17oz duck (my first pair of duck bottoms btw.) is just outta this world! i´m in love and finally i have something badass to wear besides denim!
  atm. i´m rocking these triple cuffed…looking forward to get them hemmed though! maybe in march

Anyone had the hem chain stitched? If so, how does it look? Not a lot of decent places to get things altered round these parts…

[Giles]

It looks fine.  I have done it for a lot of people, but have no photos I am afraid…..

[Simon]

I think they would look ok, assuming the cotton matched, which it would if done by G.

[Giles]

Yes, just got loads and loads of super duper colours in…..

[MikeC]

I personally only like G to chainstitch my shit on Unity. He saved my beige IH-6634, due to a botched hem.

[Giles]

Thanks Mike…..

[davito]

Nice there Finn, congrats and you have some nice muscles

[Finn666]

thanks buddy…though I'd love to have less

[Jordan23]

Don't get me wrong buddy but these are definitely snug (would be to snug for my likings but what do i know) on your thighs. Hope they stretch!

[Seul]

They stretch easily and quickly. Having a snug fit at first is the way to go for these…

[Finn666]

no problemo Andi. if you'd be the one wearing them, you really would do the same when it comes too sizing!
they may look a tad snug but they're just too damn comfy for me to return and size up…wore them the whole day today (still wearing'em) and a 36 waist would definitely be too big!
these fit like a dream and will do even more, after a tiny bit of stretching here and there...

go for'em and check yourself!
