IH-705 - Ultra Heavy Selvage Serge Cargo Pants - Brown & Olive Green

[MikeC]

23oz Serge taped pockets, that's a nice fucking detail….

[MikeC]

These pants are seriously heavy. After wearing these, my vulcans feel like Levi's. I also did a scratch test on a scrap, but it would really fade. It got super shiny. I have a feeling these will soften up ridiculously by next winter.

[MikeC]

These also keep there shape amazingly well.  It feels a little stiffer than the flagship 21oz.

welcome to the club MikeC, they are impressive aren't they? These pants put a smile on my face everytime I wear em (and also just looking at em).

[MikeC]

My fit. I've worn them about 5 times. Love these shits. They are a waist 34, chopped to 32.5.

[MikeC]

FYI, this fabric behaves like cotton duck (per G's advice), so when you wash and dry, do it delicately. If you don't, you will get white fades on the fabric. I washed and dried mine twice and on the second dry, it made the marks.  It's nothing big though, they will wear off with a few months wear.

Looks great on you Mike C. Thanks for the advice, i haven't washed mine yet.

I actually didn't believe they would fade that much, but after only 15-20 days of wear, i see the first signs.

Never thought my love for denim would find competition, but these sure changed that.

Man, I'm considering these in brown…you're not helping, MikeC!

[davito]

Go for em Joe, my current top three pants, probably one of my all time fav Top Five rated imho. Get a lot of attention and even people ask me about em, telling me how nice they are. When they touch em you always see a smile on their faces

^ NICE OUTFIT D!

Aero breaking in nicely there.

I like them Mike, they make me remember when all I wore were cargos. Great fit.

[bushmonkey]

Hey Mike
Just wondering if you noticed any shrink when you washed them?  Did they go in the drier?

[Snowy]

Great shot davito! Maybe they're smiling because they're getting to touch you ;). Next Level.

The olives are on my list, somewhere :).

[joesaintjohn]

Mike, how are these versus the reverse out satins?

[MikeC]

Ridiculously heavy. The reverse cotton satin feels like half the weight.  You probably won't need the 705 for your weather. If you want some serge cargoes, 12oz-14oz serge cargoes are coming out in the spring.  704s also don't hold shape like the 705s.

[MikeC]

Bush Monkey, I got zero in the waist & inseam and 0.3in in the thigh, knee & hem.

Haha snowy mate I am not sure they are more obsessed touching doggie dog and my pants. Me just standing around yeah get em if u can

Like G and MikeC i can confirm their behaviour similar to duck, which i assumed first day i received them. Impressive pants. MikeC thx for the writes up

[bushmonkey]

Thanks Mike.  Not worried about washing em now.

And to anyone, they are fantastic pants; never thought something would give jeans a run for my money.

[MikeC]

I just remeasured mine, after getting them soaked shoveling yesterday. They shrunk up perfect for me. I'm really loving this fabric, as it breaks in. You can tell, it's going to be a much softer fabric as it ages.
