IH-816DD - Double Indigo Rope Dyed Canvas Work Pants

[zatenm]

Thanks @deanclean [emoji106]

[deanclean]

Got mine today. Sometimes the anticipation leads up to a let down. Not in this case. These are my new favourite slacks![emoji3] and well worth the wait

[zatenm]

Couldn't agree more @deanclean. Congrats on your receiving your pair…! Mine are just back from hemming. These will seriously compete with my jeans as my daily beaters.

(What a fabric!)

Super crappy quick fit pics from cloudy yesterday:

Quickly put to good use - first wear to work today [emoji4]
Makes a great pairing with the TW112 IMO (or any indigo western for that matter, especially if you're not too keen on the classic Canadian tux look)

Close-up comparo with the 112 (again under pale evening light). The DD indigo is very deep and rich:

Better pics hopefully soon!

[deanclean]

These look like they fit great I'm loving mine too. Haven't hemmed them yet cause it looks like they may scrunch up a little in the legs. I love the blue stitching on the blue material. Not flashy at all.

The DDs make a wicked combo especially with a white T
Simple & elegant - you could wear this every single day if you want and it wouldn't get old…..

[deanclean]

I do!

[Giles]

Me too…..Actually, today I am wearing IH-816 in navy as the IH-816DD are still wet from yesterdays boat chasing escapades....

Perfect fit zatenm. Canvas/Duck double indigo is beautiful by IH.

[zatenm]

Thanks @Jordonf9
At the risk of sounding sacrilegious, Duck (DD or otherwise) might very well be my favourite IH fabric
Of course I'm biased because of 2526j (no other type III can touch it IMO), the 816's (king of work pants) and now this very promising and beautiful DD [emoji111]️

@Giles:

Post wash dimensions of tag-size 34:

Waist  34
FR  11.2
RR  15.7
Thigh  12.7
Knee  9.3
Hem  8.3
Inseam  36

thats a lot of shrinkage on hem, from 9 to 8.3, or is it altered?
am considering between size 32 and 33, 33 looks good on the thigh , how much should i expect the shrinkage on hem.
thx!!

[Giles]

Those measurements are the sample pair and are largely irrelevant now.

I'd expect no more than 0.2" shrinkage in the hem….

[nycs10011]

Same fit as the Duck Loggers?

Thanks!

[Giles]

Similar, but not the same…...You'll have to actually compare the measurements....

Giles finally got out of his 816-DD's for a change so i got some snaps…

4 months of wear

[deanclean]

Looks so good. I love mine too. Can't say enough about those pants. I love the blue thread on blue fabric

Midnight Tuxedo cross post. Looking at your pictures, Giles is solo promising! Awesome fabric!
