      Thanks. I am considering chopping off about 2’’, but not sure when.

        How does the chainstiched hem look compared to the original stitch? Haven't seen a chainstiched chino before.

            ^ Thanks metal floss and my pleasure. 🙂

            Some additional notes: inseam measured exactly 36 upon arrival. I washed in hot water and dried hot. Inseam now measures exactly 35. So they appear to only shrink as much as 1’’ even with how water/air. Also, I was putting on my belt and noticed that these pants have seven belt loops which is awesome!

              Did you notice any shrinkage in the waist?  I'm considering a pair, but I'm worried a 34 might be too small and a 36 might be too big.  How did you size these compared to other IH pants/jeans?

                My size 33 IH-707's measure just a hair over 34'' post hot wash/dry. Thought I would imagine they could stretch back out to about 35'' in the waist if they were under pressure. I would watch the rise and thigh with these as I wouldn't expect any stretch in those areas. I have a pair of IHxB01 in size 34 (come in at 33'') that are snug (good snug) in the waist and at true 34'' these size 33 707's are a comfortable chino fit.

                If it helps here is a fit comparison between IH-707 tag size 33 and IHxB01 tag size 34.

                  They don't stretch a ton in the waist, even with pressure. I've been wearing mine 4-5 days a week for months and they are still a bit snug in the waist.

                    Thanks!  That info is hugely helpful!

                        I had the second pair hemmed and am much happier with the length on these. See my happy face: 🙂

                        The stacks will settle + still might have a tiny bit of shrinkage left in them. 😉

                          Checking to see if these stretch in the thigh area. Thanks

                              I got these yesterday (size 36). I hot washed and dried them and this is the fit…

                              I'd like about a half inch off the inseam, but I might try washing them again first to see if they shrink a little more.

                              So far I'm pretty excited about them. I agree with everything said about them so far in this thread. One thing I noticed is that they seem darker in person compared to the other photos in this thread (a pleasant surprise).

                                I had these hemmed ¾ of an inch. Here they are with a couple different shoes for color comparison.

                                    These are marked as endangered, so i think there´d be no restock…
