IH-888D - 17oz Duck Medium/High Rise Tapered Cut Jeans - Brown

@Transporter that’s a pretty big variation, I think the discrepancy is in measuring methods. IH has a particular way. Hope this helps. https://www.ironheart.co.uk/content/how-we-measure-bottoms

Are you measuring like IH does? That got me with my first pair. Literally my only complaint about anything IH. Not a fan of the way they measure waists.
But hey, it’s a quibble. I’ll be roasting my ass in 95 degree weather tomorrow biking in to work wearing something IH. Maybe I’ll put the 25oz on haha.
-
@WhiskeySandwich That is possible. I measured them using my 888s as a guide.
-
@drewfonse Haha, that's what I need to do with these ducks! I'm hoping to get 1/2" or so stretch and they'll be perfect.
-
How do these do in warm weather? @Mizmazzle any thoughts? And does anyone do button down / business casual with these?
Thinking about picking up these or 9 oz chinos. I think the chinos would be cooler (less hot) but I like these better
-
@natefreezy I just got mine a couple weeks ago, down here in Mexico we have been around the 34º to 38º C, and no problem at all. I can wear 21oz with this weather but the 17oz Duck are for sure lighter and very comfortable.

Finally got around to a photo.

These ducks get the krispiest combs ever. The fabrics is great. Didn’t think it would break in like this. Formed much better than expected.
-
@natefreezy they do really well in warm weather. Not sure which would be better the chinos or the ducks, but I know you won’t regret using the ducks for warm weather scenarios
-
@Alex Any idea if these could be "overdyed" to another color (e.g. dark brown)? I'm interested if the fabric would accept the dye.
-
@Alex Thank you for your reply. I'm currently looking for a pair of pants that I can dye dark brown and will consider your point when making my decision. Basically, I was thinking about getting a second pair of 888D to dye those in dark brown since I would only have to go one or two shades darker rather than changing the color of the pants entirely which is riskier to do in general. Also considering other factors such as what is the most comfortable fabric to wear, selvedge, breathability etc.

@cityofdelusion Whatever you decide to run your experiment on, please share it!

Hell yeah @WhiskeySandwich
All the duck action made me want to wear mine today too. I usually wear them when I’m fishing and in the backcountry. But love how they look with the IH sneakers.
-
@Mizmazzle very nice!
-
Had to get a second pair of 888 ducks the fit is just me and I love the duck canvas best in the business very happy
-
Thought I’d share a pic of my new pair of 888 ducks. Loving them so far!
-
@WhiskeySandwich makes me want to quack non-stop! What superb wear you’ve given them!
