IHDR-502-OLV - 11oz Cotton Whipcord Cargo Pants - Olive
-
Some help with sizing please.
My only IH denim I have are the 666s 21oz in a 32. I understand that that the rise on these whipcords are much higher. Somebody here mentioned that it’s easy to size down on the 888s. It looks like Alex sized down compared to other styles.
Not sure if I should get a 33 which would be similar in waist to the 666 or size down to a 32 in these
whipcords??? Opinions appreciated. -
Look closely at a comparison of the thigh measurements. That will be where the sticking point may be in sizing down, i should think. The 666 is a much tighter top block and skinnier thigh, so if you are skinny enough that the 666 isn’t tight, you may be able to size down at least one in an 888 style like these. Bear in mind that you can probably stand a smaller waist measurement also, because these will hit up closer to your actual waist.

Thanks for your input.
I can squeeze just enough to get into the 666s. Looking at the whipcord sizing, I can probably size down one.

Size down as long as the thigh allows for it as @sabergirl says.
-
Is there any pics of someone who didn’t size down? I kinda think cargos should be on the baggy side
How warm are these? 11oz makes me think they are not winter but I have no experience with the whip cord

It is pretty dense and windproof stuff, in my experience. It’s what the deck jackets are made from, so I think they can be winter ready. Some merino underneath and you are ready for anything.

@spitfiredealer speaking to the 888 in general, If I went TTS (w34) then a 13.2" thigh and 9" knee would look baggier than what @Alex is wearing. For me that would be a standard relaxed thigh measurement. If I went w33, which I could wear comfortably but would have to wear higher up, I would get than slimmer look.
Otherwise @browniemcghee is right about whipcord being used on the N-1's. It is a tight weave using heavy gauge yarns, so not a lot of airflow and decent insultation. One of the features of the N-1 is that is however there is also a windproof lining in those which adds to the warmth and insulating properties. That ios not present here.
@Seul can probably advise you as he has a few pairs of the whipcord work pants, but I would guess these are October-March trousers in a British climate.

How are these even still available 20 minutes after live… People had been asking for tapered cargos for YEARS.

Come on in @neph93 - the water is right

The joy of living minutes from the source!
Down and dirty fit pics: size 32 (my usual 555 size) I could have gone 33 never 31–the waist is my limiting factor.
Amazing handfeel on these--feels softer/more broken in than the type III--(pre washed?)Love the details: one copper snap on cargo pockets, brass rivets on the slash pockets, clean backside (no snaps or buttons), knees almost feel articulated--assuming this is due to 'knee area panels'.
Roomy enough to get low, but look far from frumpy/voluminous.

Fit looks good.
How does the waist feel? Any give at all? You think the 33 would have been better? I'm torn btw 32 vs 33. -
My waist is kinda tight in the 32s. Either ask for biggest sized pair in your low range or smallest in your big. And remember as Neph wrote, stretch will be negligible!

I've not purchased cargoes in forever but these are very tempting. Sizing is different on the DR site so I'll just go with IH since it's a known quantity for me…
Debating between the largest waist 34 or smallest 36.

Smart move - the IH measuring process is time proven!
FWIW I sized up and ask for the smallest waist.. I knew I wanted extra movement in the top block, and the ability to tuck shirts in [emoji1690]
