IH-707 - Mercerised Cotton Chino Pants

[joesaintjohn]

I fecking love these pants. They don't seem to get the same love as the rest of my collection, but, feck, every time I wear these, I fall deeper in love with them.

The fabric is so incredible.

Looking killer ivy league, very nice.

G, any indication when these will be re-run? Would be perfect for work!

[Giles]

Early/mid October…

[joesaintjohn]

Will there ever be another color in these?

[Giles]

Not that I know of (but never say never).  Haraki is (I think) making me some military style Chinos for Spring release out of the same fabric….

[joesaintjohn]

Ooooooo…super pumped to see those.

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm  :-\

Do it Finn, they have the leg cut you want and are sturdy enough for work and slick enough for the conference centre.

Arrived yesterday, look great even in their slightly oversized raw state!
Question for those that know - I soaked them for an hour in a lukewarm bath and let them hang dry overnight, and after a quick check this morning, the fit seems a bit closer, however before I get them hemmed, should I be giving them a warmer/hotter soak or regular machine wash to ensure no further shrinkage? I'm only concerned about leg length here.

[derivative666]

@tmg I took mine threw them right away in the washing machine on hot and put them in a hot dryer.

Wear them in good health. They are the nicest chinos. I haver seen. Especially after the "sheen" disappears.

[tmg]

Thanks D666, and even though I've yet to wear them I can see these becoming favourites, the fit and material are spot on!

Already considering buying a second pair, and would love some other colour choices - blue, navy…..G, any chance?

[Giles]

Always a chance!!  I will chat to H….G

I'll go ahead and insert my standard "can it be done in indigo?" Request.

[tmg]

Where in the colour spectrum does indigo sit, in relation to navy blue? Slightly lighter?
