IH-816 - 17oz Duck Work Pants
-
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.
-
Finally pulled the trigger on the black pair and a flannel cant wait to experience the IH quality that you all speak of
-
Im actually more hyped about the uhf flannel and Pappa Nui hat. Im sure the pants will be sick too.

Yes i spelt it wrong
