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

[zatenm]

G., if my normal IH size is 29, 30 in this would be too big, right?

[Giles]

Possibly, but cargo's (imo) look better slightly too large…..

[zatenm]

Thanks G. Any chance of a restock in size 29 in the future?

[Giles]

There are 29 in the brown in Japan,  I could get those in for you.  G

First post!  Hi, y'all.  I want to add a pair of 705s to my collection, but it seems that I won't be able to find one in a 34 or 36.  I wear 36 in my 634s, and 9634s, and I have some 301s07BKs in 38 which are sort of too big now that they've stretched a bit.  I'm wondering if anyone out there has a lead on a 36, or can advise whether I would be silly to go for a 38.  Cheers!

I think a 38 would be a bit big. I think you'd be happier with a 36. If you're not opposed to used clothes, you might check the buying selling section.

That being said, I rock a 38 in my 634-XHS and a 40 in my cargo pants, just depends on the looks you're going for. How's your 36s fit? Snug? Baggy?

Here's my 705s in 40

And my 634-XHS in 38

[sabergirl]

Yeah, those look a little baggier than my 36 634s and definitely baggier than the 301s 38s fit, but I have a bit of a different body type than you–girl hips, y'know...

Thanks for the input!  I'm pretty sure that from the 705 measurements and previous experience with cargos, I should shoot for a 36, and could probably fit a 34.  Most pants that I wear a 36, including my IHs, always need a belt!

I'll let other members that own a pair of 705s weigh in on the fit, but I just wanted to say: Welcome, sabergirl! Glad to have you on the forum.

If you need a belt at 36, go for a36

My recommendation is to size down one in these. Personally, I'd size down 2. This fabric stretches a decent amount.

[joesaintjohn]

I should size down in mine, eventually.

[Finn666]

^i'd vote for a "yes!"…38 should be doable for you and knowing that you're still going to drop more and more weight, wth not

[trail and arrow]

if i understand i right,
the general canon is to size down with the 705?
THANKS

[D97x7]

I did and I'm very happy with the result!

[trail and arrow]

thanks man,
was thinking about the last 38,
but i would have to gain a lot wait to fill them.

if anyone wants to get rid of a green 36, please pm me!
cheers

[sabergirl]

I couldn't resist the sale and (contrary to everyone's advice) jumped on that 38, myself.  I measured a pair of old baggy cargos that I still like to wear, and all the measurements are similar.  Hopefully I'm not totally crazy!  I'll post pics when they get here.

[trail and arrow]

l am looking forward to that!
