IH-705 - Ultra Heavy Selvage Serge Cargo Pants - Brown & Olive Green

[Finkster]

The red / green contrast is awesome!

The pants are very 'roomy' at the legs - not my taste - but, whatever
The length is o.k. .. I wouldn't cut this beast.

Borderline as you say, I wouldn't cut though!

I say chop…your legs look like a trunk of a tree compared to the look of your upper body.
cutting these to shorts should be dope imo...go for it!

[Max Power]

Just what I thought too. Will have a try wetehr the length will work out, compared to other shorts. I would need to chop them pretty close to the pockets.

I think you could go either way! 705 shorts would be dope, but the pants look all right. I'd say it depends how crazy short inseams make you. I personally can't stand when I feel like my pants are too short.

@Max Power they look awesome, however I think if you chop them they'd look even better in mho they are a tad too roomy in the leg

[Max Power]

Thanks for all the feedback. I have them chopped and compared them to other shorts I own - they should turn out nice.

[ShootThePier]

Maybe a taper?
I think they only look short due to the proportion of the hem opening to the inseam from the knee down.

Max, I feel that they're big all over….....that fit is a great example of why I buy pants small and stretch to fit.

While I agree they look too big. I dunno why you would want 23oz shorts? Surely shorts are to be worn when it's too hot for trousers. I would be tapering them and keeping them for some nice comfy alternatives to jeans.

[Max Power]

Didn't expect that many opinions…well I need the waist of a 36 and want my shorts to sit loose (especially in this weight). I live in an area that's not known for super hot climate, so I think 23oz shorts are doable.

My old Carhartt Bermudas have a very similar fit. It's worth a try, I'll report back when I receive them.

One more advantage for a chop job is - you can spare the fight for the 'ultra limited official Camp shorts'

Here they are - no comments on how heavy the fabric was. I'm quite satisfied with the result. I like my shorts comfy and loose and think they will eventually shrink a bit with a wash. The super heavy fabric makes them not too easy to wear in hot conditions but I think I'll find enough situations. So I'm happy.

Look perfect to me….

[spitfiredealer]

Yeah bang on.

[Black Orchid]

I really like those, they look great on you

[Max Power]

Thanks y'all

[Appfaff]

what they said - A+ fit you got there @Max Power and they fit your style perfectly. I'll be rocking the camp shorts with vans, converse and high black socks all summer haha

[Anesthetist]

Nicely done Max, those turned out super well.
