IH-777D - 17oz Duck Super Slim Tapered Cut Jeans - Brown

Will not shrink, but will stretch after washing. Maybe not as much as denim, but definitely a bit. Sounds like you’re good but feel free to post pics for constructive notes.

Some ducks here 

[the246guy]

And some more Ducks!

And some more!

The real one….

[neph93]

Haha… great pics @jothistan. The 777’s look like a nice fit in the leg to me. If they are a little tight in the waist it will give a little.

[the246guy]

Did a cold soak yesterday and then a warm soak. No shrinkage or whatsoever observed.

Have you got any suggestions on how to get some stretch on the waist other than telling me to reduce weight? I wore this pants for the office and around midday I started to get pain around my tummy because of the fact that the waist was so tight. Can anything be done here?

Other than this, this is the best fit I have ever had from IH!

[neph93]

Just wear them. Maybe for only half a day at a time. Eventually they will give a little, certainly half an inch, maybe more.

If you want to speed up that process, are trousers stretchers that you can buy, or you can use more primitive methods, as I have done recently. Have a look here:

@neph93 Man you are always there with constructive answers. I will give that waist stretch a try!

My pleasure. If you use the car jack method or anything like it, do be careful. If not you risk popping the tack button or busting side seams.

I came across this idea like here

If I can get a duck color, I think this would be my best ever IH pants hands down!

Been looking at these and the 666 version daily it seems.  Not sure which ones to go for.  Im sort of handcuffed by the waist size.  The 36 is too small in the 666 but the 38 will be too big.  the 36 in the 777 should be just about perfect.  I guess that sort of makes the decision easy.

Great pair of pants! I sized up and couldn't be happier with the fit

[deanclean]

Thanks @BD81 I just put the order through.  I had my tailor make a bunch of alterations to a pair of  B01 Carhartt's and ive been living in them lately.  He took them in at the thigh and tapered them from the knee down.  It will be nice to get a pair of Iron Hearts with a heavier material and without the double knee of the Carhartts.  I have a pair of the IH double knee ducks too.  It will be nice to have a few different styles.  Love the black W as well on the pocket.

[BD81]

@deanclean yeah  these ones fit the best but they seem thinner than the 4 other pairs for some reason. I'm digging the black w also would be cool if they made some more colors and some slim duck chinos

[deanclean]

These arrived yesterday.  Love them.  Better yet my wife likes that I have a pair of pants that actually fit nice and arent so baggy in all the wrong places.  I love pairing them with the IHSH-211 (duck shirt with the corduroy collar) but is that too much duck? For some maybe, not enough for others.

[Jett129]

The Duck Tux sounds pretty cool to me.

[jordanscollected]

It's called duxedo, and it's a fine pairing. You'll be a head turner for sure though. I need to wear my 211 more, and that goes for any duck. I wear mine as a casual shirt right now, and it's like driving a monster truck to get coffee.

enjoy

[BD81]

Are these really going to be restocked?

[Giles]

When we get around to it, yes….We have limited production capacity, we just can't do everything we want when we want.....

[BD81]

I understand that you guys must be super busy with everything that has been going on.  Wouldn't it be nice though.

So maybe around spring?
