[simonc]

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

@Giles:

Restock 29-40 inbound

That's just what I wanted to hear

Available next week I presume?

[Giles]

Thurs next, I guess….

[Giles]

Restocked….

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.

@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

[mclaincausey]

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?

[Giles]

Depends now many dips we give it…......

[joesaintjohn]

Gray or black would be pretty awesome too. I love these pants.

[Mumbles]

these do not get enough love imo….great pair of chinos.  any chance at an olive pair G?

[superfuzz]

G, any chance of getting these in a 28?

[Giles]

None in Japan, so I reckon we do not go down to 28 in them I am afraid…

[superfuzz]

Thanks for checking, G!

Site says 1" waist and 1" length. Did you notice anymore shrinkage in those two measurements or anywhere else for that matter?

[Giles]

Restocked

Is Haraki still making the military chinos mentioned on the previous page? If so, how would they differ from these?

[Giles]

He will if I ask him…..Let me check.

Waist band is part of the trouser rather than a separate piece, slash pockets which go up into the waist band, coin pocket......
