Very nice article, blackcap :)!

Just pulled the trigger on a pair of these.

G. Would you recommend soaking to bed in the stitching?

Cheers.

[Jordonf9]

Yes, soak to bed seams. Helps a little.

The 21 oz denim is ready to go right out of the package.  It won't make any significant difference to do an initial soak.

That said, I always wash all my jeans on arrival to clean out any residual sizing, starch, shelf dust, grubby shipping monkey fingerprints, etc. that may be on them.

Exactly, only after the first holy washing ritual the garment is welcomed to the exclusive wearing club 8)!

Nice article, I enjoyed it and hope it helps wrangle in more new IH addicts!

Thanks all for your replies.

Edit 10.07.15: Delivered! Uber-Quick! Cold agitated wash planned.

[chrisclement]

Will these be re-stocked any time soon?

[Giles]

In production schedule, not sure when they'll pop out though…..

[tmg]

Presumably the restock will include some W36?

[Giles]

Middle of May - all sizes…..

Thanks G

Always wanted to try a pair of these….afraid they'll be too big in the leg. Truly believe these would be a freedom of movement pair work pants.

^ haddtoo - my brother has the 55-UHR and I would say the fit, if you play with the sizing, can create a very nice, not baggy shape.  His are fairly fitted for a 55 cut and have a great taper for boots, which also looks great with sneakers and (surprisingly) loafers/Mocs

I believe the higher rose gives the wearer some "play" with the waist measure.

Hope that helps!

Thanks for the input. I'll have a few months to mull it over. The thigh on my 2634's is roomy ,the 55 should be close.
