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

[pechelman]

Grabbed a pair of these 2nd hand months ago but I've only worn them a few times. They're definitely warm and highly wind-resistant/not very breathable for me. Contrary to the "no stretch" comments throughout this thread, I washed them when they arrived from the previous owner and they definitely tightened up a little bit for me, about .5" in the waist and .2" in the thigh on a tag 34, which was assumed to be from whatever stretch was in them from him.

Feel like these would be pretty fantastic for winter camping, but otherwise having trouble putting this in rotation and open to other ways to make use of these or to prioritize them over a slew of other IH bottoms.

@motojobobo really cool and great look

760 odd steps to go all the way up…not too bad even for an out-of-shape 59 year old. The following two days I had lightly sore calf muscles.

You are right @pechelman . My natural tolerance to hot/humid is very high. I can see many folks finding them too warm. Temps in Medellin were circa 25 deg C at midday while I was there.

We getting a restock on the sold out sizes any time soon???

[Alex]

Not anytime soon - it's on the list that we need to remake, but we have no capacity at the factory for them at this point

[Dystopia]

Noted! I can be patient. Haha

[jerkules]

Managed to accidentally get bleach spots on my pair

Thinking of dyeing them, trying to work out what colour would look cool over dyed onto the olive. Maybe grey like @Nik ’s home dyed 888s, or maybe an espresso brown.

Out of curiosity, any of the crew know if the stitching is cotton/poly cotton whether it’s likely to take the dye?

[jerkules]

I also need to clean my table…

[Nik]

Most likely poly cotton so might not take the dye @jerkules maybe an olive?
Could also leave it, they’re cargos anyway and you could just go hard on letting them get messy.

[Matt]

That sucks but I’d leave them. Bleach spots I actually don’t mind as much as grease spots. Cargo pants are supposed to be workers anyway, right?

[SKT]

@jerkules I’m with these guys. Go hard with em here on out. But I also feel your pain…like the first ding in a new car

[Matt]

I hate that.

[jerkules]

Yeah I think you guys are probably correct. It’s not all that noticeable and I like the idea of these now being beaters for garden / DIY work.

[AdamJ]

@jerkules Embrace it man! I got white emulsion on my first pair of 555s. Was quite cavalier with the rolling brush, assuming it would easily come out. It didn't

[Smiladon]

These have been my main late summer pants. Love them! Cargos but not super baggy. Might grab the black denim ones too!

[weftyarn]

They look phenomenal with that Wabash @Smiladon

@jerkules I’ll go with the rest: Thrash them!

Oooor: Maybe bleach them completely? The underlying color seems interesting.

@motojobobo oh bro!! Just came across these pics!!! I love Medellin. I used to live in Colombia. I was a math and science teacher down there for 3 years. Amazing country with incredible people. So many great memories there!!

[Dystopia]

Any chance of a restock soon???

[jordanscollected]

@Dystopia are you US based? They have opened them up to other retailers. Check out James Dant and Iron Shop Provisions, both have some sizes in stock.

[HalfPastNever]

I too am curious on a restock
