IHDR-502-OLV - 11oz Cotton Whipcord Cargo Pants - Olive

Looking good! How do you feel about the sizing up - comfortable or too roomy?
If only there wasn't so much daylight between the 34 and 36 measurements! Anybody sizing up from 32 to 33 or 36 to 38 get space in the waist but give up very little in the other measurements.

@manticore - not too roomy at all. I would not have been able to squeeze my
Legs into a 36. The double knee plus cargo pockets mean the top of the thigh has over 30oz of fabric. I did request the smallest
Waist which measures
Smack dab on 38” - two inches smaller
And it would not have buttoned very easily.In general though, the 888 is hard for me to size down in, even my TTS 888-142od are pretty snug where the waist band hits me -
Even more so than my 777-142I am very happy with the way these cargoes fit, and I think the cut will be very versatile for people Wanting to go either slimmer or more relaxed than my fit

Very happy these worked out excellently for you!
The 34 in these came in at 34.6 vs 34.4 average. Definitely feel the layered thickness over the thighs.

Excellent! It’s great that these give so many people the fit they want!

I’ve no bloody idea how these are going to fit. I’ve trimmed up a bit through our Covid adventure, but I’ve lost both fat and muscle and I think the higher rise waist is exactly where I’ve slimmed most. My recycled 888s did need a stretch though and I’ve gone the same 33 as those, so I think I’ve ordered what I need.
Having bought a size down on @den1mhead makes me ??? as I’m 6’3 and an XXL in everything on top.
We. Shall. See.
I’m still furloughed so the bank holiday does nothing for me, but delay the goodies. Ah, 2020…

@Black Orchid Wanted a pair upon first seeing them & your review of these pants makes me want them even more now
Unfortunately, (fortunate for my piggy bank) waist measurements don’t come down enough for me to pull the trigger

Unfortunately, (fortunate for my piggy bank) waist measurements don’t come down enough for me to pull the trigger Wear ‘em low with a bloody big belt. You’ll kill it.

Are you wearing the devils cut today, bc there’s this mighty strong voice of temptation that’s tipping me over the edge! the only thing stopping me at this point, wearing them like low riders, is that the cargo pockets would probably be down by my ankles
-
@RoxRocks86 That's bitter sweet
However as you say your piggy bank will thank you and I personally would love an itty bitty waist x -
Hopefully with the traction this seems to be getting they’ll do another re-run with hopefully smaller sizes. Since it seems 888s usually go down in waist due to the high rise, one could only hope.
& one last thing, “Get behind me, Reuben!”

The IHDR-502's are amazing . . . . .

^ Great image @neph93 albeit a tad scary
-
Lmfao. That is terrifying. Do your kids ever cry when you check in on them at night @neph93 ?

They finally arrived! These are almost exactly what I’ve been wishing for all these years. I still would love a slightly lower front rise, but overall they are definitely winners.
I did just go for a walk in them during the heat of an 80 degree F day, and the whipcord isn’t for the faint of heart in the heat. I am too sweaty for proper fit pics right now, but I made the right call on sizing. 36 would not have fit!

I hear you on the sizing @sabergirl ! I've chosen to size up myself so the 34s are heading to the Marketplace section…
[Another] lesson learned…
-
Congrats @sabergirl ! Not breathable at the slightest? They do look awesome tho hopefully it cools down soon enough so you can wear them without feeling like your legs are on fire

For what it’s worth, these do really
Well in the rain and dry really fast.Monsoon hit day 1 of me wearing these on a target run with the kiddos

Well, they’ve arrived.
I told my other half that the only way I would keep them is if they were really special and fit exactly as I wanted.
To be completely honest, I imagined I’d be sending them back and because I’m a man I had already mentally spent the money I shouldn’t have spent on the trousers I shouldn’t have bought.They’re amazing. They are ridiculously well made (no surprise there), go with every boot I’ll wear them with and are waaaay comfier than I expected. I can even get away with a turn-up, which usually look weird on me for whatever reason.
Bravo.
Thanks for the extra stickers.
