IH-716 - Grey 10oz Chino Cloth Chinos
-
Copped a pair of 36 hemmed to 34.5"
-
Sadly Sam measure the 36 and they are 37" waist
Oh well
-
@Jordonf9 - I heard a lot of people got a good amount of shrink out of the 711 chino, and my 707 shrink everytime I wash+dry. Might be work giving them a shot! The good thing about chinos, is that a local tailor can very easily take in the waist and seat for you.
-
Well, I couldn't let these go. So I re-ordered but without hem. Worst comes to worst, a return will be in order. Can't wait!
-
Will this stretch a bit? I am between sizes 36-38 per the waist measurement. Don't know which will work best. Any experienced voices.
-
Sam sent me measurements of 37" on the 36 on the two pair he had last time. If that helps.
-
That does. Thanks jordan!

@HeavyGenes I will have my pair tomorrow. I normally wear 36 sometimes 34 in IH denim…I can measure them for you if that helps, if you already didn't snag a pair. I can wear down to a 34.5" waist up to 36" normally. With 37", will be a little big, but they are comfy and not rigged so I figure when the belt is strapped down they won't hurt.
I will also try a very hot soak to see what shrinkage I could get. Got a pair of 36 inbound. -
@Jordonf9 I saw only 1 36 left so I had to jump on it. I'm praying it'll work. But thanks for offering to measure. The chinos look great. I want the shirt too but will have to wait for my employer to refill my disposable income. Hope you post some fit pics.

Oh yeah and maybe a silly question, but do IH belts fit this chino?

I would personally wear any leather except veg tanned belt with these. I only wear one belt though, which started out as a whiskey brown, now is darker.
A cordovan or burgundy would look epic with these.

I've worn mine about 6-8 times now, with veg tanned, dark brown, color 8 and black belts. All look great, but especially the dark brown. That belt, and my beeswax Clark's Desert Trek paired with these chinos is an amazing combo
-
Love these. Comfy, light, now I need to get them hemmed.
Have to get measurements tomorrow, my ulcer flared up this morning and didn't feel like doing crap till the past few hours, which I am working.
-
These are probably my favorite chinos from IH, the fit is spot for a comfortable but trim look that's not skin tight. The fabric wears in quickly and becomes super soft. Perfect chino for work in a causal environment or out to play.
Here to hope that more chinos will be made in this fit!
-
I really need to send these out to get hemmed…I feel so bad not wearing them at all....such beautiful fabric and cut.

With the festive season approaching Mrs. Neph is insisting I need a smarter pair of pants in my wardrobe and was clear that anything with the words "denim" or "jean" in the name won't cut it. In her defence she did say "surely Iron Heart make something". She's a keeper [emoji7] Also, it's not often I get the chance to make a sanctioned purchase without having to resort to the Dark Arts [emoji38]
So these are a possibility. Can someone advise me as to how dressy they are? The only experience I have of IH chino cloth is my blanket lined tanker jacket. Is this similar in terms of hand? And finally will this fade? Any and all help appreciated.
