IH-731-KHA - 12oz Heavy Cotton Relaxed Fit Chinos - Khaki
-
:o damn, consider me suddenly interested now that the measurements are up… the measurements for the 35-tag are almost exactly where my tag 34, 21oz 888s have settled...
For the tag sizes I'd be interested in, the measurements for these look pretty close to those for IH-727-KHA - rise on these is slightly higher... a little wider in the knee, but then a bit more tapered at the hem...
Wasn't planning on new chinos this month...
@AdamJ Will there be pics of them being worn coming up in the next 30 minutes…?

@Alex Most excellent, thanks.
-
@AdamJ Many thanks for these. Goddamn it, they look great… I'm going to have to order a pair.
-
Thank goodness today is my payday…

Tag 36 and 38 are more or less identical being the only noticeable difference the waist measurements?? I want to order one but I’m afraid of the waist height… It’s a 634, 666 or 555, 777…?

Was thinking the same thing. They look like a straight fit with the taper below the knee. Almost like a 633 with a higher rise?
-
The mid/high rise on these made me pause. Here’s a vote for a low/mid rise IH chino in the future, rise similar to the 633 or 777 cuts.
-
That makes sense cause there is no taper from upper thigh to knee at all. The taper starts below the knee based on posted measurements.

Arrived and just managed to try them on.
The fit feels a bit roomier in the top block than my 21oz 888 jeans. My tree trunk thighs are not quite filling the leg on these chinos, whereas the widest parts of my thigh fills the leg of my 888s.
This is exactly what I wanted, because all my chinos to date have had to have stretch, which for me meant I looked like I was wearing khaki tights if I ever wanted to go for "smart casual".
Pockets are nice and deep - deeper than the 888s - so my phone sits on the front, centre of my thigh rather than off to the side, so the silhouette looks better. I'm able to lunge in these without my phone digging uncomfortably into my hip crease whereas I have to take my phone out of my pocket in my 888s to re-tie my shoe laces because the pockets aren't quite deep enough. I'll try on with a blazer later, but I don't think that these chinos will cause the jacket to drape oddly as it tries to get around whatever I have put in my pocket.
I'll have Mrs H take some decent fit pics later. But if you are a gentleman of a thicker leg (and bulkier arse) then these seem to be a winner. I need to get them hemmed before I can wear them properly.
Take the dive...

Trying out some looks before I take the tags off - these are nice and versatile. So good to have a pair of chinos that fit me this well. Why choose between something that fits your top block or your waist when you can have both! If IH ever wanted to do these in navy too…
