@Al 916  It looks like 2017…

@Mark_S:

Ever a restock on these Indigo 816's?

They were a limited run and are extinct I’m afraid.

[Giles]

We only did one run of them and that was in 2015, I suspect they lasted about a year….

I’ll have to put a photo of up mine tomorrow. I had my mom make them into shorts one summer and have never looked back.

[Al 916]

Thanks Goose / Giles

[deanclean]

Here’s the shorts. I think I got the idea from someone else on here doing the same thing with these

What a great metamorphosis of an IH-816DD!

Are you still wearing this beautiful shorts @deanclean ?

[mention]Aetas [/mention] I wore them today raking leaves! I’m in Ontario Canada and we had a beautiful day today. Very rare for that here in November.

[Aetas]

Great to hear!
Leaves are falling in Westfalen/Germany very late as well @deanclean !
This fabric is something else, isn’t it?

Nice evo on the pants matches well with the fit.

@Max:

Thank you. I'll try to make them my main pair in the next months - as they only got around 3 months in them I think they will fade a lot more. Washing is tricky though - there's two washing marks although I turned them insideout, used 30°C and no spin at all.

I think avoiding wash lines with these in the machine is impossible, as my first 2 machine washes with yours were the same method (Inside out, no spin). I didn't get any funky, misplaced lines, but there are well defined "train tracks" running down the leg seams. But, since then, I just wash them right-side-out, and I don't have any issues.

Also, I second the notion that this fabric does not soften!!!

MANY machine washes and dries, and mine still crunch when I walk  :-*.

I just can confirm this  8)!

Music…

@Aetas as a relatively new IH fan, seeing pictures of such well worn pieces from the archives brings me great joy. I hope I'm able to contribute such quality content in the decades to come.

[Aetas]

As you speak of decades and your contribution so far, I am sure to see beautiful contributions of your garments and yourself!
This forum is overwhelming!

@Aetas that pair is STUNNING! I love this fabric and I have it in cut but really wish I still had it in the work pant. I had a pair of these that I chopped into shorts back in the day and they were so dope, but alas, I lost weight and had to pass them on.

[Aetas]

Love the work cut a lot @joesaintjohn

Amazing

I’m so happy to have these, and to have contributed to Mike’s mom and cat. Special thanks to @Giles and @goosehd ️


They are pretty much unworn, and I’m looking forward to seeing this duck evolve.

@sabergirl Looking great Ann and much love to you!!
