IH-816 - 17oz Duck Work Pants

[Boras]

@Giles I think these were hemmed by a super genius!

Shit, must have been @Chesson

That's a cool work pants! I was just trying to compare the size between my IH-666S 21 oZ where I'm on tag size 31. I like the snug fit of that denim, but tage size 31 on this seems a tad bit wider. If I decide to get this one, should I go 31? Any thoughts?

I would stay the same if the difference is under an inch. Duck does not stretch as easily as denim.

Ok, so you mean I can go with size 31 on these ducks just like my IH 666S-21 that I have in size 31? I just measured them in cm. Just one question:

1. The waist on my 666S-21 is 82.3cm while the IH-816 is 78.7 cm - Is this of concern? The 666S-21 waist is a perfect fit for me.

Every other measurement is perfect for me on tag size 31!

Ah well that is well over an inch. In that case you need to size up one or two.

The work pant cut is much wider than the 666 through the leg @jothishan and is not intended to fit snugly over the thigh as the 666 does.

Hey Guys, I bought a black pair of these from Eli yesterday and have been wearing them for about 10h. To be able to wear them without discomfort, I really need them to stretch 1". So far, I have worn them for about 10 very painful hours but doesn't seem like  they are giving me much. I know this has been up to debate over the last 36 pages, but what would you guys recon, will they give me what I need?

[neph93]

Duck doesn’t stretch as readily as denim. You may get an inch if you work at it for a few days. 10 hours will not be enough.

[BD81]

I wouldnt get too ambitious about trying to stretch them. I did and I tore a hole in them

Does anyone know when there will be a restock on these?

[Fluster.Cluck]

Any anticipated restock date on these? Thanks.

[Alex]

No, sorry - we are remaking duck canvas at the moment, but its been delayed

[BD81]

F#@k I really hope these don't go extinct ! Please make more colors !

Figured I would move it to the right thread lol

[Matt]

Good idea.

I’d love to see more of these.  I prefer them over khakis due to the heft of the duck.  Of course hindsight is 20/20.  It was probably low demand that diminished the options in the first place.

I feel like earlier versions had a more generous thigh. This is my favorite cut that IH makes! Please go back to when the thigh was more relaxed, and make them out of ALL the denims, whipcord, AND duck! Lol

I know.  Now that I’m officially a relaxed fit dad I’m really missing this cut.

@Graham been putting his pair to good use, too good not to get a snap!

They will be in the hall of fades next week!

And a restock of the 816 work-chino?

[Matt]

Please bring them back in all colors.
