IH-718 - Olive Heavy Cotton Satin Cargo Pants

[JDelage]

Wearing them today for the first time (the weather's getting cooler finally). I like them. The thighs are a bit tight on my legs, but maybe that'll get better over time. It's not uncomfortable.

@Cole:

You can't just post something like this and then not add pictures. Man, that's against the rules! Shame on you. @neph93

It took a while, they still haven't been hemmed and this is more or less a x-post, but here you go Cole [emoji1][emoji1417]

Excellent @neph93, was sceptical about the shininess as well, but seams to no issue at all, at least under this lighting. Btw., those boots are awesome!

[neph93]

Thank you and thank you! I love the boots and I’m not looking forward to packing them away for the winter. The 705 sole isn’t going to play well with ice and snow.

The picture is taken close to a big window, so there is lots of natural light and it hasn’t been edited, so it’s pretty descriptive of how they are IRL. The trousers do have a sheen that reflects light a little, but they are certainly not «shiny».

The sheen does fade with wear, leaving an almost moleskin type feel. I think they're an awesome pair of cargoes.

Took mine to drive some dune buggy in Egypt. Absolutely the right pants for some mad action in the desert.

Excellent pic ^

The 718s are a touch shorter than I am used to. I love the overall fit and feel, but still getting used to how high they slide up when I sit and crouch. Thoughts on the length?

I think they look great, standing.  The true test is when you sit down, how much sock you're showing off.  I have lately embraced a shorter inseam than usual, and got used to it pretty quickly.

[Dstauffer]

Thanks Ann!
I usually wear at least a 6" boot so no sock when I sit, just a peak when I cross my leg. But like you said, I think its a mental "getting used to thing".

I had the same issue with my first UHF in terms of body length and after a month or so it stopped being an issue and now I actually prefer the body length of the UHF as opposed to my longer length shirts.

I think they look great and envy you 

[Giles]

Look absolutely fine to me…..

[Dstauffer]

Thanks for the feedback all. Really love these. I've lost some weight over the past few months and ended up going with a 34 (my usual being a 36). Easily the nicest pair of cargos I have owned. The weight is ridiculous (in a good way) and I really enjoying the overall fit. I can definitely see these competing with the denim I wear everyday.

[Appfaff]

yeah, that's about a 100% perfect fit. Slight drape, without too much extra fabric mucking up the cut. well played sir. And thanks for buying the last pair to save me from myself

[Dstauffer]

Thanks Adam! No joke, it took me a month to pull the trigger. Looking at the measurements, the forum pics, the description. Finally just said feck it and here they are…

[spitfiredealer]

Yeah they look great at that length.

[motojobobo]

I agree; perfect length on those @Dstauffer .

[Dstauffer]

Been living in these for the last couple days and they have well exceeded my expectations. The fit and feel are unreal.

I know there has been a lot of talk of a cargo in the 816 cut and with whipcord, but these cargos in other colors would be an instacop for me. But I’m not sure how well these moved. I’d love these in a brown/chocolate, camo, khaki, dark grey. Just my two cents….

[neph93]

^ they did okay, as did the 23oz serge cargos which came in three colours and were even more awesome.
