IH-734-BLK - 8oz Ripstop Cargo - Black

@tody:

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

We will not receive the black cargo pant until next week due to the delay in export from Japan.
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!

@Alex has been wearing a pair for a while, so he is better placed than me to answer (as I am still working on the SLB's)….

@tody  - great t-shirt. Leatherface - great band

I’ve been wearing 14oz black denim ones, not these, but I would anticipate these only stretching 0.25/0.5”

@tody would you call these “hikable”? Looking for lightweight long bottoms that safe my legs from mosquitos, pack well in a backpack and are quick to dry. Aaand are IH

[tody]

@weftyarn I believe that is exactly the garment you are looking for. Lightweight, but sturdy.

[weftyarn]

Thanks @tody
Exactly what I wanted to hear. Now the only question is Black or Olive.
Love the stealth look of the Black but the Olive probably stays cooler in the sun.

[weftyarn]

A little bit on the tight side in the waist (can easily close top button, but there’s some pull still), but that 0,5“ stretch would fix it. Other than that: Incredibly lightweight, sturdy, comfy through the leg. Confident this will become my lightweight sturdy hiking pants.

I have the olive version of these and they're super nice. Enjoy yours, @weftyarn!
