IH-802 Hickory Logger

[Giles]

Looks a darn sight better than a pair of oversized bell-bottomed Lee to me…..............

@georgeel:

And now here they are…

yep, the 666 suit you wait better.

Bollocks…
Just hem them correctly, so they drape nicely over yer boots, no stacking here.
They look just as they are supposed to be.
802's are very comfortable to wear...

I took a walk outside and I have to admit that I feel vey comfortable with these loggers.
They will wait till  october-november and we'll see.
Here we have 82°F, you know…

george - i think you wear them very well . . . you bring your own style to them 

[injunjack]

I haven't tried that kind of temp yet, but me thinks loggers aren't or doesn't feel any warmer than my 461 or 634s.

[Geo]

yeah - they might actually feel a little cooler because of the looser fit

[georgeel]

They are a little coarse, and coarse + warm = hell!!

[injunjack]

Soak 'em.

@injunjack:

Soak 'em.

well, you know what they say, you can't buy cool… LOL

Reading the previous posts, I see that I have the same doubts that Lando had.
Are they too big?
How to wear loggers?
To sag or not to sag?
To hem or not to hem?
Maybe cuf…

I never had great faith in the healing power of soaking, but I soaked them, so we will see...
At the same time my rotation is growing:

666Sod = still my favorite
634S= I love them, my favorite indigo jeans
634SR= Material for next fall
PBJ xx007 deep indigo= my lightweight blue jeans for incoming summer
Busters sbg= New entry and very promising, I'm wearing them right now
301S= now in the backseat, poor things...
802= Oh, well they are not jeans...

[injunjack]

imho

your 802's seem to fit fine. They are not jawns, and they are supposed to be/look roomier like workpants do.
Wear them with sneakers or heavier type workboots.
Don't sag (this is a big IMO)
Hem, like I said, so that they drape nicely over your shoe in the front and show about whole heel of the workboot. (this works also with bootcut jawns) The fabric of these doesn't form nice sturdy cuff. Also the width of the hem is such that it cuff doen't look good IMO, the cuff will be too "floppy".

Or do whatever you feel good to. They're yours.

this is how I had them hemmed. I first tried about 2-2,5" longer with cuff, but didn't like how they were

edit. now that I look at them on me, due to my a bit sturdier thighs, they look a lot like bootcut jawns…

[georgeel]

Yeah, you are right, injunjack. Mine are absolutely to hem. I will do it, and I'll post new fit pics.

[georgeel]

News: wife loves them as they are.
Case closed.

She likes cuf too, gives them a "jawnzesque" tone, she says…

[mankarat]

George, you made me want this!!! Looks good on you! Congrats!
