    @daltmeyer:

    Whats the difference between Chinos and Work pants? They kindve look the same to the untrained eye. Are there different cuts? I notice they are all in the 7xx or 8xx number range. Does this signify different cut?

    I'm interested in the explanation to @daltmeyer 's question too.

    The journey is the objective.

      Generally, chino’s are made from chino cloth, work pants from different, coarser fabrics, like wabash, duck or denim. Work pants take different forms too, such as the 814 painters pants.

          I am actually sampling a tapered pant at the moment.  If it was made out of Chino fabric, I would call it a Chino, but I'm going to make it out of whipcord (because I love that fabric so much).

          The style will be the bastard offspring of a love triangle between the IH-717, the IH-711 and the IH-710

                  Great news! I was hoping for a slimmed down 717.

                    @daltmeyer  @motojobobo  it should be mentioned that the IH-7## series of chino cloth pants contains different cuts. Someone ( @Dion  if I remember correctly) laid it out for me a while ago on the 716 thread if you care to dig it up.

                    In addition to the materials, I also believe that the 7## lot number is used for military inspired clothing (the cargo pants use it) while the 8## is more work wear.

                    One of the fun things about IH lot numbers and codes is that they follow patterns until they don’t. There are often little idiosyncracies that explain the deviations. Of course, it maybe only me that finds this fun because I’m a nailed on nerd…  ::)

                        Neph, you were right! I just looked it up:

                        @Dion:

                        The cut of the 716 is similiar to the 711 whereas the 717 is similiar to the 707/816.

                          thanks for the ^^ explanations @Giles and @neph93 ; your clarifications make the upcoming bastard 7** very promising.

                            Thanks everyone for answering!

                            Im usually a jeans guy but I might switch it up with a pair of work, engineer, or cargo pants. They all look great!

                              With Xmas approaching, can anyone recommend an EU source for western shirts of IH quality but in a women's cut?

                              thanks

                                  ^ Without sounding facetious, I was going to say the same. I know that in Japan IH do some shirts in ladies sizes, IHUK just doesn’t stock them. Giles and Alex are over there now so you could drop them a pm and see what’s available.

                                    My wife is wearing IHSH-33 and some of the Flannels in the Western cut, as they are quit slim in the smaller sizes, she wears them in S, they fit her very well

                                      So I just ordered some custom whites. Lace-up bounty hunters from Baker’s….I went with an 8” model. I traditionally go with a 7” but decided to try 8”.

                                      As I look through pics of 8” boots I am wondering if I went too tall....any thoughts/experience with 8” boots?

                                        My IH/Viberg Smokejumpers are 8”. I love them. Great ankle support and all round sturdiness make them perfect for winter up here, but I wear them year round for rougher activities as well as general use. I’m considering a pair of Packers or Jobmasters and will likely go for 8” again. I like to feel like I’m wearing boots when I’m wearing boots, if you see what I mean…

                                        What exactly is your concern?

                                          Thanks for the feedback Reuben. I’m sure they’ll be just fine. I guess my concern is branching outside of my normal 7”, but then again my Wescos are 8” and they are just fine.

                                          What’s an extra inch…
