IH-555-PIQ - 14oz Cotton Piqué Super Slim Cut Jeans - Ecru

[timmyboy]

Ordered a pair of these.

How do do you pronounce ecru?

Letter by letter?

E-crew?

Eck-rue? In a French sound.

Hoping to sound like I know what I'm talking about.

Google says the former, me as a non-native english speaker would have gone with the latter, as it's indeed a word of french origin.

@timmyboy I think we're mostly 'Eck-rue' here in the office but couldn't give you a specific reason as to why, maybe because 'E-crew' sounds like a digital marketing company you'd get advertising emails from in your junk folder

[timmyboy]

Haha, I'm American so E-crew sounds pretty Americanized and my first thought lol. My best guess was my last listed and I'm going to go with your guaranteed confirmation.

pretty excited

@Daniel-San - how did these work out? Am tempted but grateful for advice about stretch, etc

[Daniel San]

@Crispy-Heron
they are awesome, really like the fabric. There is strech but not as much as the 21oz denim . Didn’t measure, so I can’t help you with exact dimensions.

[Crispy Heron]

@Daniel-San - thanks mate. They look great.

[jerkules]

@Crispy-Heron yeah just to chime in on this fabric, I found there to be very little stretch. Maybe .5inch in the waist

[Crispy Heron]

@jerkules - thanks. I will probably go for the 31 then
