IH-706 - Swedish Serge Cargo Pants - Olive and Khaki

[andersos]

These look awesome.

Living near Sweden and speaking swedish I became curious - what's Swedish Serge?
Never heard of it before.

A few 34 in Olive left in Japan if you want me to get a pair in Andi…

Nor had I until we released the IH-701's.  I still don't know exactly what it is (I'll ask Haraki when I next see him), but Haraki is very proud of it, so I humour him…..

@joesaintjohn:

What's the weight difference between these and the heavyweight serge?

These are 15oz, web page updated

I love your relationship with Haraki-san

Pockets still too low to make into shorts?

[Giles]

No, I made a pair out of the 701's and these are exactly the same cut.

I was going to get these hemmed, but the roping is so cool, I just can't do it.

They look great i am wearing my 704 today, was never a cargo guy before but IH changed my mind due to the super fabrics and cut.

[andersos]

It says that these don't shrink, but do they stretch much?

[mclaincausey]

I chainstitch hemmed mine, ropes intact!

[Splattered]

Still rocking in daily rotation my original IH-701 in olive/black/khaki… all three have faded quite a bit and the black pair don't look so hot anymore haha

Are there any plans to bring these out (even in a future release) with colors other than khaki/olive?

Never got them hemmed, I just cuff them up once and go with it. Surprisingly these have held up extremely well I have no holes in them and no problems along the bottoms of the cuffs where they've always been folded. Been through the machine many times no problem. I do like the idea of a slower fading version though... these started getting fades/creases upon washing after first wash.

[Giles]

We bring a version out every year, but usually khaki and olive, same this year I am afraid…

[davito]

IH cargos are awesome in terms of fit, wearability, comfort, fabric and all.

[mclaincausey]

Black would be cool. I also think heavy ripstop would be interesting. I used to have some black ripstop fatigues I cut off back in high school.

[ohighyo]

Anyone ever make shorts out of these?

[bagley920]

I asked G about that and he said the pockets are set too low. They would be really long

Anyone get any shrinkage on these?

Any chance either pair of the 38's left from the sale come up smaller than tagged in the waist?
