IHDR-502-OLV - 11oz Cotton Whipcord Cargo Pants - Olive

[jerkules]

Ah awesome, my visit was incredibly brief but I really enjoyed my time. I spent most of my first day at Marble brewery and it was great, lots of friendly folks to chat to. Was in trouble meeting clients the next day with excruciating headache. Managed to convince everyone it was caused by the altitude. Had a really great pizza at a place called Farina’s. I’d jump at another chance to visit.

@jerkules:

Thanks @neph93 mate! I’m looking forward to seeing how they look with a few other combos, but too hot and humid to bother today. I had 80% RH readout on my dehumidifier this morning, awful. The climate in your neck of the woods sounds nicer to me, but could be a case of the grass always being greener.. Do you still own a pair of these?

We’ve had a few 30C days here too, but on the whole it is milder. Swings and roundabouts though as we get a lot of precipitation.

I had to move on my W34’s from the original batch as the top block and waist was too trim. The second batch seems to have a larger waist, but I’m once bitten, and the W36 seems way to big. As is often the case with me, a theoretical tagged 35 would be the one.

[Matt]

@neph I used to be a theoretical 35 when the size run would come up small, right up until the time when they actually started making them.  It was frustrating.

For what it’s worth I used my 34 Busters that measure 34 post stretch as a comparison and these in 33 with a true 34 waist feel bigger.

[Matt]

After much waffling I feel like exchanging these for a 32 is the right thing to do.  There’s just too much room in the waste and in the top block.  I’ll try to get to the crew early enough tomorrow to figure it out.

Gratuitous shaved torso…...

[Matt]

Don’t you dare judge me!

[Matt]

But they look too big, right?

[Giles]

You stick a photo like that up and then you say "don't judge me"…...Jeez

But yes, I think a size down would make you happier.........

[Matt]

Well obviously my happiness is your primary concern…

[Matt]

It could have been worse.  7 inches higher and you could have seen my nipple clamps and leather studded choker.

[Giles]

The ones I sent you?

[Matt]

Those are in my hope chest.

[Matt]

It’s amazing how quickly  a little t & a can derail a thread about cargo pants.

[steelworker]

that's it, you're both shut off.

[Matt]

Prude!

[Matt]

Seriously though, love these pants.  I hate to send them away but they’re too good to have in a less than perfect fit.  I’m going to shoot for the largest waist 32 in the lot.

[jerkules]

Had a little IH holy shit moment when I tried them on again this morning. Seriously, I feel like every aspect of these are perfect- fabric, cut, weight, colour, versatility… I’ll be wearing these forever.

Thank you IH for making products that make people happy. It’s a rare thing for a company to do but you guys manage it every single bloody time.

[jerkules]

@weftyarn thanks buddy Did you grab a pair, or still got your eye on them?
