IH-816 - 17oz Duck Work Pants

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
-
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…

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

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

Ok, my pair of 666D are W36 and were measured to exactly 35” by IHUK when I bought them in 2015. They now measure 35.5”. They’ve been worn a few times since their last wash.
I thought about it and given that I’ve lost some weight the last few years, I don’t need stretch now like I used to, so maybe they could go some more if put under more pressure. That is speculation though.
There maybe some variation in measurements between pairs so you could ask the crew at IHUK to see if a pair of these come up a little bigger. Good luck.

Thank you, good sir

Nice pic. Have these stretched more than .5 of an inch since you got them? -
Cool, thanks for taking the time to do that.
