IH-714 - Ultra Heavy Selvedge Serge Cargo Pants
-
Sorry I was no help @neph93, I still think they will stretch in the waist even though no one agrees with me, oh well!
Anyway, just opened the blue bags and took a quick pic!
No, no, I really appreciate the contribution. I didn't mean to sound rude… [emoji29]I think it was an even draw between will stretch/won't stretch until @tmg weighed in. So that's what I meant by "none the wiser" [emoji28]. At the end og the day I'm sure there'll be a little stretch, but 2" is a bit of an ask.
Co-incidentally, that fit you have is the kind I want. Looking great. I always like the background in your fit pics. Beautiful looking house. May I ask where it is?

What's a trip is this feels almost twice the thickness of the 15 oz. 706…. Incredible. Curious to see how well these soften up with wear.
As for sizing, I went with my usual tag (34), even though the actual measurements are an inch larger than normal (35" vs. my normal 34"). I fit 34" in all IH pants, otherwise. Not sure why or how it worked out this way, but I went with the 34s and they fit perfectly out of the blue bag.

Ha I am still rocking my original IH-701 … alas they are finally really starting to fall apart on me though.
How does the material & fit compare on these to the 701?

Well if these aren't the most ridiculous pair of trousers ever then I don't know.
They are absolutely beautiful to look at, touch, and wear. I thought the construction of the XHS denim was a special thing but this is next level (again). The external pocket bags and flaps are just things of practical beauty and engineered simplicity. How many more times am I going to discover an IH product that breaks the mould?The only thing I'd change is the lack of selvedge seam on the leg. I'm sure there's a good reason why its not there, and I'm not the kind of guy that has to show selvedge on denim, or indeed has to have selvedge denim. It's just that the selvedge strip showing on the zip (I have the olive greens) is so, damn, pretty and I'll be wearing these with a big fat roll at the bottom. That being said the red, triple stitched red seam is also pretty lovely too, so it's actually just fine.
Looks like I'll have to add the serge to my list of fabric addictions along with IH wabash, brown duck, UHF and assorted denims. Thanks for that

everytime @D97x7 posts a Cargo Pant fit, I immediately want a pair… once again, awesome dude! Looks great with the 102MC as well.

I just got my pants. I can't believe how heavy these are! The felled seams on them are killer. Definitely worth the wait. Thank you very much.
