        And I received them yesterday. Will try to take & upload some Pictures, have not even tried them on as I don't want to stain the fabric. But I can tell it's the nicest chino I've ever seen. Would never have guessed that I would wear one, but I think this could be the one exception to the rule.

          I've been wearing my pair at work five days a week for a year or so, they're pretty great. Has anyone had a crotch repair done on theirs? If so, who did the work?

              I saw these at SE & although not the weight I expect from IH the build quality was nice.

              It was the slim chinos, sorry for the confusion. Too much  to keep up with

              @xtcclassic , give me some flicks.

              Please  & thank you.

                @Anesthetist I had them hemmed here in town.
                @madmonday I'll try to get some pics up tonight. Basically I have a small hole in my crotch (that's what she said) and some wear/damage at the hem.

                Edit: Are you asking for fit pics or pics of the damage? Fit pics might take a couple days.

                  I'll take whatever I can get. fitflicks cause I like them or shots of the chinos  so I can see how the fabric stands up to wear.

                    I hope this helps - quick out of bed shots, size 34. I love the fabric (as I said), but it would be awesome to hear about stretch & shrinkage. The waist should not shrink much more in the long run, would be perfect if it stayed that way or even got a bit wider. Is that likely to happen?

                    I would also have them hemmed, but figure I need to do a soak before that to find out what the inseam will end up with.

                      Damn, seeing those makes me realize how much mine have faded. @madmonday I haven't forgotten about your pics, but it might be Thursday before I can get around to it.

                        @xtcclassic Could you please provide a short report on strech & shrinkage? Would be highly appreciated.

                          I bought mine over a year ago so my memory is pretty sketchy, and I don't think I measured them before washing anyway, but I know they didn't shrink much. And they stretch even less. Sorry I can't be more help.

                            Ok, so I think I can assume they will stay the way they are now in the long run. Thank you.

                              I did three warm - hot soaks and got but 0,5" shrinkage in the inseam. I think I'll get them hemmed now or should I have to wash them? Maybe @rocket can help?

                                  Thanks a lot! Seems like I got most of the shrinkage then.

                                    Not sure if this is the same material as the 710, but I got about the same amount of shrinkage (half inch) before I hemmed.  Haven't noticed any further shrinkage along the way, though I hang dry now.  Waist gives a little with wear, but I haven't noticed much stretch overall.  (Again these are the 710s).

                                        Had a special event with out kiddos this weekend and realized after multiple "purges" of my wardrobe, I was in need of some nice, smart looking chinos.  @Winchy and @Sam helped me find the perfect and, and I would say it would out perfectly. I took the "easy care, easy wear" approach and immediately gave them a cold wash and a machine dry. I got a fair amount of shrinkage out of them, and they stretched out perfectly.  I was on the fence between a 36 and a 38, and since I know I didn't have to to play with soaks, I went with the 38 and machine laundered them.

                                        Raw/Post-Shrink
                                        Waist:39.8 / 38
                                        Inseam: 32.75/31

                                        Yes… these measurements are correct - crazy, huh!

                                        Anyways, I have to say these are in fact the best chinos I have ever worn. Looking forward to grabbing a pair of 711 in navy for a slightly lighter/darker alternative to these for the spring.
