IH-734-BLK - 8oz Ripstop Cargo - Black
-
Black would be cool. I also think heavy ripstop would be interesting. I used to have some black ripstop fatigues I cut off back in high school.
@mclaincausey I just saw this post of yours from 2014. Looks like you were eight years too early!
-
Ha! I totally forgot that @Graeme

@mclaincausey I looked up the IH-706 thread to check out some details as I'm looking to sell a pair, and saw it there. I can't remember posts I made a few weeks ago, let alone years ago!
The black cargo pants do sound interesting, though.
-
@Giles Can you tell something about the fabric?
8 oz ripstop sounds really suitable for summer. I'm still looking for gear for temperatures above 30°C.
Thanks in advance. -
How do the Cargo pockets fasten on these?

Thanks AJ. I'll be down at ISP next week in their New Orleans shop and if they arrive there by then I'll get a hands on experience.
Now convincing Allie that IH is a proper anniversary gift…

you not wear IH? this is where we are. -
Dang, these measurements don't make it easy. I'm right in between 36 and 38…
I guess I'll have to order both from @Iron Heart Germany and see which fits better, although I hate to do this
-
@goosehd Waist, i'd say. If you compare the chart, both are within .2" in the other dimensions.
@Alex mentioned that the top block is similar to the new chinos, and I had to go from 36 to 38 in the IH-731 due to the waist measurement. But this one here is even wider in the 38, and the 36 may be still a tad too tight. And I'm pretty sure Ripstop is one of these no-stretch-at-all fabrics… -
Really a tough call…I stated once that sizing can go up and down throughout the day for me depending on what I’ve eaten, drank, etc. I don’t want to give advice on the stretch (I just don’t know), but I would tend to size as close as I could in either direction. I’m wearing 666’s XHS right now that are tight on me, but they look really good and if I lost five pounds would fit great.
If they’re not going to sell out in your size overnight, touch base with IHUK and ask for help…

So it's not online yet… but soon. -
These are begging to be chicken-legged. In my punk rock days of yore I wore cut off black ripstop fatigues as cargo shorts.
-
This thread is pretty quiet. Did no one else get them?
Mine arrived today, thanks to @Iron Heart Germany
I went for the 36, and it doesn't look too bad. I can close the button and wear it with ease.
Despite losing a lot of weight during the pandemic, there is still a bit of belly left.
But it looks like 38 would have been way to loose, I'd say.
@Alex & @Giles - will the ripstop fabric give a little with time?
The trousers themselves are awesome. The weight of the fabric alone is fantastic, my old Carhartt and Reell cargo pants are laughable in comparison. Still they feel pretty lightweight. And they are indeed pretty relaxed…
As punk rock has been mentioned in this thread already, here they are combined with a shirt from Sunderland's finest!
