      Because shorts require as much labour to make as a pair of long pants, the only saving is in the amount of material required.  We made the 715 because we had some serger surplus to requirements and space in the factory…

          @Stuart.T Pro tip: The IH-816-WHI/BLK/IND are dying to be chicken legged…

                    The backside cut of the 715 is special and makes the difference.

                      @neph93 @Alex @Giles thanks for the helpful info. I'm a cargo or carpenter pants fan, and my size is out in most doable 'chicken legable' trousers. It's good to know that sort of alteration is possible in-house. Thanks.

                        My former black ones after a really rough wash in the hotel washing machine. I'm not really happy with their washed out look.

                          I think they look fantastic and would be very happy personally (if I wore shorts [emoji1]). But I understand that they are to your personal preferences. A couple of rounds with black fabric dye should do the trick.

                            and since they are blk, you still could easy overdye em later, I guess

                                    Agreed–my khaki pants exhibit early fades and I love it--I think @Max Power shorts look great.

                                    Think it, be it.

                                        You meant shorts rigjt? Boy, i hope there will be enough and a lit of colours. The weight and cut of the 715 makes them so great. A true black, olive and khaki would be great. Even camo would work here.
