IH-816 - 17oz Duck Work Pants

It is and it may be OK.

How much shrinkage in length can a very hot soak bring? I want them to be a tad shorter.

[Giles]

Try it and let us know….

[Dion]

I will but I'm concerned they might shrink too much :'(!

[Giles]

So,

Set washing machine temperature to 20C

Start - Increase wash temperature by 10C
        - Wash
        - Have they shrunk enough?
        - Yes?  Stop
        - No? Go to start and repeat.

So I gave 'em a ~ 4 h hot soak + 30° C machine wash and they shrunk ~ 0,5 cm (0,2 inches) in length. Exactly what I needed :).

Background: they turned out to be too short after hemming so I cut the hem open and unfolded it. They turned out to be a tad too wide then but my routine worked out well.

Since the navy and beige are being retired, does this mean some new colors are planned?  Hoping….

Cheers,

None that I know of….

There will be a brown whipcord version if I remember correctly…
Same cut, different fabric

[Giles]

Oh yes, forgot that…...http://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=8825.msg467201#msg467201

Has there already been a restock of brown or is it still going to happen?

[Giles]

It'll happen, just hasn't yet….

[Dion]

Okay, I just thought I had missed it.

[Giles]

Restocked in brown…..

As the beige and navy duck is no longer being made, these colourways are being "extincted" and have been reduced to $200 - click here to go to the webpage as these colours have been split into a separate product from the brown IH-816 which remains "extant".

Just picked these up and asked the tailor for a quick iPhone shot (sorry for the low quality).
Pants seem to look good with little break around the ankles.

[Shoreman]

Sharp.

[browniemcghee]

Those look awesome! Well done.

Are these getting a restock in beige any time soon?

Four posts up from yours, looks like you're out of luck…
