IH-728-IND - 14oz Selvedge Denim Work Pants - Indigo

[pepa]

40 years ago, Wrangler jeans had this cut. Only without back-cinch and back pockets and they were in bell bottoms ;)very comfortable jeans. And those slant front pockets were something special and comfortable. In Czechoslovakia at the time, they were a real bargain. I can't wait to get them.

@TeflonDon:

I’m thinking 555, but I can’t really figure out how much the narrow thighs change the feel of the top block?

777. The work pant top block is based on the 634 and the 777 top block is much closer to the 634 than the 555.

Sorry, I missed the reply, Neph.

Now that is a surprise - when looking  at the numbers I thought front and back rises were a lot closer to the 555. My problem is that I don’t have the opportunity to try on the 555. I love the look of the 777, and I have two pairs, but these get more wear, simply because I have more mobility in them, partly due to the low back rise, partly because of the more restrictive top block.

To be fair, these are a special case. The cinch back will increases the rise quite a bit.

Granted. It is indeed a unique design.

But thanks for pointing me towards the 634. I did some more snooping around, and I actually think the 633 may be what I’m looking for. Unfortunately it is sold out from Selfedge.

Does anyone know if the cinch helps keep the part of the pants between the back belt loop and side belt loops held up?
I bend over a lot at work and my belt always ends up above the top of my pants.

Man, what I wouldn’t give for some without a cinch back!

I don't have these but I think they are very cool. It's such a great design.

[Twistlock]

Forgot how comfy these are, need to wear them more often.

@steelworker
Thanks steelworker, the work style of H. is definitely underrated ‍️.

I really like the whipcord work pants... Seems like the same cut here, going by the measurements? Might give these a try in the future!

Been eyeing these for a little bit now and when I was met with @JoshC enthusiastic, yup, on if suspender buttons could be added, I could no longer resist. Excellent job on the snap upgrade sir. Side shout out as well to @Freeman on clarifying the hem stitch (chino flat as they come or chain).

[JoshC]

@flannel-slut Hell yeah man! looking really good, glad you are happy with it. Maybe we should look into Iron Heart suspenders be all that.

These are so rad...too bad my size is sold out. I would have purchased one tomorrow. Hoping for a restock sometime but it looks like it may be a while...

[TeflonDon]

I love mine, they have become my most worn jeans.

However, lately the chinch has started coming undone - I think due to a combination of the fabric softening and the metal bending ever so slightly.

Does anyone have a suggestion for fixing it? I could probably stitch the two ends of fabric together, but is there any better solution?
