IH-816 - 17oz Duck Work Pants
-
How does the fit compare to the IH-666D a.k.a. Best Jeans Ever Made?
-
I haven't worn the 666D, but have the 666XHS and 666L and the 816. For me, although I like both, the 816 is way more comfortable. As Giles suggests, check the size charts. I have both a 33 brown and a 32 navy. The waist will stretch a bit, but I prefer the 33. The cut has room in the top block and thigh, but with a moderate taper below the knee. I think it is a really great cut.

@den213:
I now own 5 pairs of these, if that speaks to the level of quality.
How would you compare fabric of these with IH-707?
I am asking because I just received mine 707 last week. Disappointed. Well built, nice fit, sturdy but completely dull, boring, lifeless fabric with no character.
Disclaimer: I do not want to be on a negative vibe. I own 6 pairs of IH jeans, love them all and believe IH 21oz denim is the best money can buy. -
@helmsman - although I disgaree about the 707 being "boring," I will say that the 17oz duck and the 13oz chino material have almost zero in common. The 17oz duck (used on the 816, 801 and other duck bottoms models) is super heavy, has almost no sheen (and zero once washed) and fades and creases beautiful. The chino material on the 707 has a lot more give to it than the duck does in terms of stretch, so consider that when sizing for the 816.
Good luck, and hope you find the 816 to so what you were looking for.

For what it's worth, I think the fabric of the 711 is an improvement on the 707 (which I also liked). A cut in between the two would be ideal for me.
