Lovely. Vests and type III’s made out of it by any chance?

I was thinking yesterday while wearing my IHSH-189 that a revival of the IHV-03 would be great… and now I hear this "more black duck" news! IHV-03-BLK would be AWESOME!

The future is looking fucking bright rn

Yes to black!  If only I still had a job where I could wear them every day.

Hello all:

Question for all of you. Do these look too baggy? Maybe I'm not use to wearing work pants, but they are much roomier than most of my jeans. Thoughts?

[el padre]

Looks good I reckon

[Seul]

They're workpants - they shouldn't be tight or restrictive. Plus they don't look baggy.

Thanks for the comments. I guess I am more used to a slimmer look. The fabric is awesome, though. Much better than the Naked and Famous I had.

Just to echo what’s been said, it looks like they fit like they’re supposed to. The workpant cut isn’t a jean cut. If you want a duck jean cut that is slim you have the IH-666D or the upcoming IH-777D which is slim tapered.

Ah, thanks for the suggestion. I starting to warm up the the idea of having something different, especially since they aren't denim. But, who knows, maybe I should also get a slimmer option, too!

How much will these shrink and stretch in the waist? I'm stuck between 34 or 36

[nurunuru]

neph93 suggested less than denim, but potentially up to an inch.  Don't have experience with the 17oz duck, myself.

They stretch a little but not anywhere near as much as denim. They may tighten a little in the wash but don't shrink. So if you add .5" to actual measurements that should be close to what you end up with…

[BD81]

A size 35 would be perfect. I guess i will go 36 or find a different pair maybe the herringbone logger. Can't do anything for a month or 2 until I'm back to work and the IH-634-XHS size 35 is back in stock.

@neph93  Ok so if they were wet and under pressure do you think i could get and inch + of stretch in the waist?

It’s difficult for me to say for sure. I think over an inch is very optimistic. An inch should be ok with patience and effort.

Tell you what, I have my 666D on today. They are a few years old and well worn. I can measure them and compare with the OG, when new measurement.

Ok if you don't mind that would be cool… only thing is that you probably weren't putting a whole lot of stress on  them either way i'm interested to see. Thanks

I got them four years ago when I weighed about 16lbs more than I do now. I also use them for labouring. They couldn’t be more stretched than they are.

My samurai 510 are size 34. I think 34 in these should be fine?
