IH-822-IND - Double Knee 21oz Selvedge Denim Engineer's Pants - Indigo
-
@Filthy25ozJunkie I wore these everyday, except one, since I got them. IMO they are comfy already, ha. Compared to the 821, these are much comfier, plus I like the ever so slight smaller cut. Get to see all the details with these, but the 822 are a beautiful stealth. The 16oz is much stiffer(but still comfy IMO) than these. I do believe they keep me a little warmer due to tighter weave.
Can't wait for another month or two with some evo! I did your water bottle trick for the first day, misted them two times so they were a bit soaked and the combs are set, just got to wait. Dunno how they would have been without water as I never had the regular 21oz before.
If you are on the fence, jump it and grab a pair of these beautiful beasts!

Jordan,I used to wear Carhartt double knee jeans when I rode. Would you ever consider wearing these when riding? That would be the main reason for me to get them. Think they'd be warmer and give you another layer of abrasion resistance. Curious as to how the the material would bunch up at the knee when sitting on the bike. Thanks–Jett

That is one of the main reasons I got these Jett

@Jordonf9 they look great. Most excellent. Congratulations.

@Jett129 easily and I have already. It's all relative to your measurements. All my other IH DS denim/pants are more tailored for a fitted/tapered fit, so layers make them a little tight, hut still can. I have two under pants, merino wool which are thin and a super thick cabelas pair that fit no problem and have full movement with no restriction unlike my other pairs.y 822 and 821 both were meant for motorcycle riding, but I love and gotten used to the baggier straight(instead of tapered) fit that these are the only ones I wear for now. All my 634 jeans are about about 13.3 thigh from IH, but these are 13.6 from IH makes them so much more usable. I much prefer a 13.6 or slightly larger now in general. I am a size 36.
If you are considering these…get them, you won't regret it.
Thanks @Filthy25ozJunkie , looks like you and me are the ones to provide the evo photos and be the ambassadors haha
-
Yeah, mine are fading nicely so far. I'm gonna try to never wash these…. maybe. Or not for a long time.
-
@Jordonf9 Thanks for getting back to me. I'm also a 36,and my 634s are my go to riding jeans. I find that the extra thigh room translates into more comfort on the bike. Been eyeing these ever since they came out. My next planned IH purchase is the corduroy western shirt. If for some reason that doesn't work out than maybe I'll grab a pair of these. Also currently breaking in 25oz 777s. They look great on you.

Start of a little evo
-
After wearing the 822 and 821 jeans, these are my favorite layout of IH jeans. I wish my other IH had the size of pocketbags and slightly larger rear pockets like these, makes my daily carry pieces so much easier/comfier.
Been wearing the 822 non stop, need to start putting some work wear into the 821 so some more fades come.
-
Looking good guys. I just ordered these to use as my work pants and can't wait to get them in!
-
Only two jeans I have been wearing since ei got them. These and the 821. I have to admit I wore these a bit more than the 821.
Quick comparison….
822 block the wind a good bit better than the 16oz 821. These are by far one of the comfiest pair of jeans I have! The little extra pocket tool compared to regular IH(the 634 say....) Is absolutely great! The one thing the 821 has over these is(for me and I know it's really peculiar) the ease of front pocket access/open. Not saying the 822 are any difficulty, but the 821 seem to be a bit bigger opening, both are size 36.I got a whole till I would wash these as they haven't gotten to a level of dirty I think need a wash, but I want to post some evo pictures. @Filthy25ozJunkie I wouldn't mind to see how yours are coming along and if you washed em at all yet.
@_streetshark did you get your pair in? Fall in love?
-
Got them in the day before yesterday. Wearing them at work right now for the second day and they are excellent! I'll try and post some pictures a little later.
Edit: here's an action picture along with a picture of some quick fading caused by the seatbelt in my truck. Ill trybto get a fit pic later.
-
@Jordonf9 hey sorry. I was in the jungle in central America working. Now I am Philadelphia working. I will get you a pic asap.
-
Slow but they are coming. Can't wait for a whiole winter of these and the 821 wear…
-
After I'm done with the insulation job in the garage…I will be soaking these bad boys. They sure are showing some wear now
-
Been wearing these non stop….I need to give the 821s some wear and tear I have been giving these....Loving the evolution on these! Def my favorite pair of IH denim now!
