IH-829-BLK - 21oz Serge Work Pants - Black

[Mizmazzle]

oh geez!

Glad to see these sewed up incrementally skinnier than the indigo. Makes my decision easier.

Any ideas how much stretch this fabric has compared to the flagship 21oz denim? The tag 33 looks perfect everywhere but the thighs where I could use an extra half inch.

@KA56 See IND thread:
@Giles said in IH-829-IND - 21oz Serge Work Pants - Indigo:

It's a twill, it'll stretch 2-3cms. One of the reasons that denim (which is a twill) and twills in general have been historically used in jeans/workwear, is that they strech and mold...

Basically it is impossible for a twill weave not to stretch....

[Graham]

These are so nice, please save me one!

[sabergirl]

@KA56 these will stretch, and probably a similar amount to the 21oz denim. That said, half an inch of stretch is a lot for the thigh. I always look at thigh measurements. With the 21oz denim, if I “need” anything over about a quarter inch of stretch, I’ve learned I’m better off either sizing up or asking the crew to find me the biggest thigh measurement in the batch. Unless the waist gape will be significant, I usually just err on the side of the size up. Tight work pants aren’t the play, anyway.

@sabergirl

Appreciate the advice. I'll probably reach out to the crew when I order these to see if I can't get something closer to 13" than the listed 12.7" (fingers crossed they don't disappear immediately). Unfortunately I can't do much extra room in the waist because I usually wear my shirts tucked, so too much room there looks sloppy and makes the crotch bunch awkwardly.

Scored! Super excited about these

[Tobi]

Just arrived... Love them!!

[jordanscollected]

Money with both fits but I like the tan combo best. Great with the boots too.

[Danimal506]

@Tobi They look like a perfect fit!

[guiltyparty]

Heath grabbed a pair of these as soon as they arrived and I don't think I've ever seen someone fall in love with pants so quickly

[CosmoSix5]

The fabric seems so cool. Not a good cut for me.

[Tago Mago]

@CosmoSix5 it’s all personal preference and also a matter of perspective. When I wear my 666s and look down they appear almost baggy. When I see a side-on view they look nice and slim, just the way I like it.

[freepickin]

@guiltyparty damn, I can see why, that's a good look

[CosmoSix5]

@Tago-Mago my size waist would have a 10" hem. 8 is to big for my taste. Bell bottoms

[Tobi]

After 3 days and a quick soak I am almost surprised to say that this my instant favourite IH cut! Why did it take me so long to check out the work pants..

[sabergirl]

Well, there haven’t been any for a while @Tobi . But, I agree. IH work pants are where it’s at.

@sabergirl The whipcord pants were fairly recent. Work Pant is an awesome cut indeed!
