IH-727-KHA - 9oz Mercerised Selvedge Relaxed Tapered Cut Chinos - Khaki
-
Thanks @JoshC! That's a great photo and explanation. My initial idea was to - when I finally get these - pimp the other rear pocket that doesn't have a snap button with a snap button. But it doesn't look like it would be possible?
. -
@cityofdelusion if you would like a snap put onto the other pocket that isn't a problem we can do this for you, you would need to pay for a heavy duty copper snap if you want it matching or another colour snap and we can replace, or if you wanted a Good Art snap as the other one you would need to purchase the 14mm snap and then we can get this sorted out no problem.
-
@JoshC Damn, that sounds very nice... I'll 100% keep this in mind for my future purchases when I need a rear pocket upgrade. Thanks again!
While I'm at it: Do we know when the next restock will be for these?
-
@cityofdelusion These will be restocked but there is nothing on the schedule as of yet, more than likely later in the year or next year but I'm not 100%, best thing to do is keep your eyes on this forum page for a restock or timeline a update, and sign up for the restocking notification on the product page of the website if you haven't already.
-
@JoshC Any chance one could order a pair without snaps? Guessing not, but just curious.
-
@Chaintitch No, because there would be a hole from the snap applied in production
-
Sometimes y'all are capable of unreasonable accommodation, so I had to ask.
-
Signed up for notifications (looks like I'll need a size 31 in these). Hope it'll be restocked asap/still be high up on my priority list by then.
-
-
Hope these arrive quicker than expected...
-
We have just had a new production schedule from Japan, I am afraid that they are not on there yet.

@Graham Thanks for the update. I'll have to look for other (possibly non-IH) alternatives now as I need some chinos very soon...

FWIW, if I have a choice to begin with, I always prefer having snap buttons (and even wanted to have the other rear pocket pimped up with a snap button) which is why I wanted these over the 731s.

I'd recommend the 731's which are essentially a 12oz version if y'all don't have them already.
Got a pair already, but lost some weight so need a new pair. The sizes you still have in stock are too small.
Got a pair of the 717's too and while they sit right at the hips, they're a bit cosy in the thigh.
I dunno why these are listed as "continuous production" at this point... think I've been following this thread since 2022!
Is the 634 style cut really that much more popular than the 888 style cut? It certainly seems to get all the love.

Because they are not a seasonal release, they are an item that will be rerun as often as we can. I've talked a lot about issues in the factories, juggling production etc, I know you are aware of the issues there, so I won't go into it again.

Yes, it really is, which is why we have pushed 717s through in the small gaps we have available to make things out of this fabric. Its not a conspiracy to piss off 888 lovers

Nah, looks like we'll need to found a "Union of 888 lovers" soon to represent our interests
Haha. Look, I think you have. been around long enough to remember that we used to not make all cuts in all denims, we would randomly do a new denim and only make it in the 634 or the 555, and that was super frustrating for everyone.
One of the biggest changes I have made in the last few years is that when we release a new fabric, it comes in every cut. We are not in the business of trying to piss off customers that only like one cut, that was exactly what the logic behind that decision was.
The flip side of that, is that it drastically increased the production load on factories every time we want to rerun a denim.
Good things take time, or something like that.
I'd recommend the 731's which are essentially a 12oz version if y'all don't have them already. These are going to arrive most likely before the 727's but again, no set time frame for these either.
