IH-6634-BEI - 14oz Heavy Corduroy Straight Cut Pants - Beige
-
@Dstauffer great input man!! Muchas gracias!! I’ve been a huge corduroy fan forever myself. I’ve looked long and hard for some high quality cords since getting into the “well made” scene…to no avail. So hearing all the excitement around these pants from those that have actually felt/ wore them gets me amped up big time!!
I used to always buy cords at the thrift store because it was the only place I could find them consistently.
-
Haha, me too….and sometimes I can find a good pair of vintage Levi’s on the Bay.
But seriously, thinking of that material, this double weave is almost incomparable in terms of weight, feel, thickness.
The excitement around these is for good reason….those who know, know
My only critique is it’s not in the 463 cut…..I know it’s not a popular cut, but cords would phenomenal in that cut

@mclaincausey looks like you were lucky enough to get some of the previous run of cords!! How long you had those? They holding up well still?
Mostly old enough
Had them since December 2013 and they're mostly pristine.@Dstauffer nailed it. They are bulletproof yet soft. You may wind up fondling your legs and making people uncomfortable when you wear them.
Thanks to Giles for coming up with the idea, a big WTF to everyone else for not buying enough of them the first time around to make them extant, and another thank you to Giles and Haraki San for bringing them back. I think they will do well this time. I would love to see the olive re-run.
The previous iteration came up quite slim for a 634-based cut, which I really enjoy on mine, but people often had to size up. I think these will be a bit roomier.

I’m looking forward to measurements on the brown. There really is nothing like the double-weave cord. I hope there will be a modified type III with pockets, sometime. But what I really want is the return of my all-time GRAIL the 6526J-SP. Fleece lined black double-weave cord type III with snaps! Nobody has one, but I would kill for a remake.

I once had an old vintage, brown, Levi’s Corduroy suit I found at a thrift store. 3 piece. All Corduroy. I wore it to a job interview. Mind you this was about 6 years ago, not 1973. I’m not sure why I chose to wear it, it just seemed like one hell of a way to leave an impression. I’m a teacher, so the looks on the interviewers faces when I walked in was priceless. I didn’t care if I got that job or not. Ultimately, they did offer me the job, which I opted not to take. The point of this story, yes, yes I wear double denims…but given the chance, f$&@ yeah I’d wear a couple of cords!!!

Lol, I like your style! Double cords, no! Triple cords! My man!

So super random question.
I noticed that there was talk about updating the fit/sizing on these from the first run.
I am wondering if you know if the belt loops on these have been made any larger from the first run. I have a pair of those and its super tight to get my excess belt through the loop after I buckle. That said it’s a thicker belt (samurai curve- comparable to any IH thick belt), but has never been an issue with any other IH denim, whipcord, or cargo pants I wear.

Word up!! Thanks @Dstauffer
-
I feel inexorably falling for these (and the browns)….
-
As you should! These and the browns are really gonna give my denim a run for their money this fall….and I have brand new UHR and a newer pair of XHS from last winter/spring I was really hoping to break in.
Add to that the crew neck sweatshirts and they are planning…..Jesus, I’m gonna be ‘Roy dawggin’ all fall/winter.

Dang!! Hearing a lot of chatter about peeps going both beige and brown on these cords!! Am I going to regret only going beige? How close to the duck canvas is the brown color of the cords? Just got me some 888Ds that need love too!! Never thought I’d said this, but thank the sweet baby J that summer is ending soon(ish)
