IH-816 - 17oz Duck Work Pants

[seanocono]

@Finn666:

size 34!

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

Yo Rafa, so you've had these for about a month now.  How much would you say these have stretched in the thigh?  I'm looking to pull the trigger, and I think I am in a similar situation as you were in.  The 34's waist is perfect, but the thighs are too slim.  The 36's thighs are perfect, but the waist is too large.  I'm not a fan of the ultra-slim look with my build, and am almost considering waiting for a restock of the 36, and then having the waist brought in.  I know everyone is saying these stretch pretty well though.  Any help is appreciated because I can't make up my mind.

finn, do you plan on hemming these?  i think it would really make them look a lot nicer . . .  the front pockets not sitting flat are also bothering me.

[Finn666]

haven'tworn them too often, but i try to throw up some measurements and new fitpics over the weekend and yeah, I'm planning on letting these hem AND taper, to make them look a tad cleaner from knee down! just need to find the time to do so…
what's up with yours MM, how do you like'em so far?

I had the blue ones as well, but returned them, since I was feeling the brown ones a bit more! both colors are dope though...

^Thanks for your thoughts, bro. I've been circling these for too long. It's going to happen, I just need to get the sizing sorted.

@seanocono:

How much would you say these have stretched in the thigh?

sry for the late reply mate, but here it is…

the thigh measurement of my tagged 34" waist pair is: 34cm = 13.40inch

so going after the size-chart, it looks like the thighs stretched 0.4inch...now i don´t have made any measurements prior to wearing them, so i can´t really say how much they´ve stretched, but i think you should be good with a 34" tagged pair!

[seanocono]

Rafa, you're the man. Thanks for this. Exactly what I was hoping for.

[Finn666]

glad i was able to help you out on this…now got get´em

[Finn666]

fit "update"…

…yes, these are getting a hem and maybe a slight taper in the near future!

Monster restock…

Thinking of getting a pair of these (in beige/khaki) to replace my worn out banana republic khakis to wear around the office…I wear a size 36 634s, any recommendations on sizing? I'm looking for something fitted but not tight (ideally something a little tighter than the 634s)... I am also considering getting the IH 702. What is the different between the 816 and the 702?

[Giles]

I would get 36 in 816 and 702.  816 heavy cotton duck, 702 medium weight poly-cotton chino.

At the office.

nice combo…

[crankyfart]

this is by far the best alternative to denim! it's so versatile in matching any outfit. wore it (beige color-way) with a white long sleeve shirt the other day and i received many compliments about how great this pants look! the cut is slim and smart so wearing it to functions with formal tops is alright too!

[rocket]

big time backed…

[Finn666]

wearing mine (again) today! best alternative to denim and tbh. i see myself grabbing the 816 more and more after getting up, as a pair of my blue jeans…volcano said it all!

Received a pair of these on Friday, they actually attempted delivery on Thurs but I wasn't in.  Wasn't expecting them to be hemmed and dispatched on the same day.  Absolutely amazing service.
Anyway I got them in  34" but was worried about the thighs.  A few squats and lunges and they loosened up fine.  Perfect fit for me.  Got the browns and now tempted by the blues.

Good thing i dress like shit or i'd have to pick these up.

Boots are rad Finn! Aldens?
