IH-734-ODG - 8oz Ripstop Cargo - Olive Drab Green
-
@tody If I remember correctly, you have one of these in black, right? Have you washed them already? Did you notice any changes in the fit/measurement?
-
@cityofdelusion I have them in black, and the green incoming thanks to the sale. IIRC, the black ones have not been washed yet. I'll give them a spin this weekend, just because, and will let you know. They relaxed a little in the waist, and from my experience with this fabric on my Carhartt cargos, they shouldn't move anywhere.
-
@tody Thank you! That sounds perfect! I just got mine delivered and I really like them a lot - both the fit and the fabric. I was wondering if the waist would relax, that'd make it perfect. And if the rest remains the same, I'd be absolutely satisfied.
Just like you commented in the sale thread a few days ago, it's hard to believe these seem not to get the love they deserve. I wanted a pair of cargos for the longest while now and these are really damn good.
-
@cityofdelusion So here are the results of the totally not scientific shrink test. 40°C wash, 1400rpm spin cycle. Waist went from 47cm to 47cm, Inseam from 88cm to 88cm.
-
@tody Thanks for the confirmation.
I've been wearing these ever since receiving them. They're super comfortable, functional and well-made for how "lightweight" they are. Definitely a must-have. When I have more time, I'd like to update this thread as frequently as I can. Really considering if I should get the black ones as well but for now, I'll enjoy these
-
@weftyarn looking good on you man
-
I still love mine and wear them frequently. Only thing I wish these had, is snap buttons instead of normal buttons for the flap pockets. Especially the pockets in the back (but also the ones in the front) are almost impossible to shut while wearing and take a lot of time in the best case scenario. Snap buttons (such as on the IHDR-502-OLV) would've made these the perfect cargo pants.
-
@tody Im also impressed how sturdy this fabric is despite its lightweight nature. And what better proof could there be than a punk rock festival
@cityofdelusion I figured out opening and closing the buttons while wearing with one hand just with thumb, index and middle finger. I agree that snap buttons would be awesome but on the other hand real buttons are more thief proof and can’t open themselves in the mountains haha
-
FWIW, these are my favorite non-denim IH pants ever now. They're super comfortable, functional, durable, versatile and good-looking.

@Peter-Germann hair band in the cuffs… never heard of this but can imagine it holds well. Post the people a pic!

looks great on you @cityofdelusion and shoutout for the Waldviertler, great shoes!
-
These look great! I’ve got a few pairs of the shorts that just released. I also managed to find a pair of the black 734’s in my size! Such a good material
-
Thanks @weftyarn! I bet yours comes in handy as well when you're traveling/hiking. And the Waldviertler have been nice so far. Looking forward to finding out how durable they are in the long term though compared to some other high-end brands like White's Boots which is what I've been wearing exclusively prior to getting these.
@kkibbey23 Yep, the fabric is great and I must admit to having considered getting a pair of the newly released ripstop shorts
Here's another X-Post with a close-up of my Japan Blue Sashiko Overall Jacket and the IH-734-ODG:
