IH-814-IND - 12oz Wabash Painter's Pants - Indigo

[long_john86]

These have turned into my ‘lounging around the house and doing random Dad-style DIY’ trousers. It wasn’t supposed to be this way. When my little boy grows up and thinks back to his time ‘at home’ he’ll just picture me in these I’m sure.

Furthermore, I can confirm the wife f****ng hates them

@long_john86 lean in and rock the Wabash shirt as well, then go back to just the pants--the wife will be so happy you're not in the wabash tux won't mind the pants anymore lol

[long_john86]

@Salted-Racer haha that is a good shout, I could certainly pull out the 62!

Thinking of getting a pair of these great looking pants. Is there any shrinkage in length after a soak and wash?

[Alex]

@Molle yes, we find 12oz wabash shrinks a little bit and you will get some stacking. I would leave1" to be super safe, but you will probably lose more like 0.75

Overnight delivery Gosport-Stockholm. As always, brilliant service from the IH team.

@Molle Hell yea dude! Looks great. Killer New Balance too

[Molle]

@Danimal506 Thanks man. Full leather, thrifted from a second hand store at a very nice price

[Danimal506]

@Molle Wow! Killer find

[Elcamino]

Do these shrink so much I’d have to go up a size, or just go with my normal size?

[yannis]

@Elcamino. No need to size up. They have been washed and almost all shrinkage has been removed. Shrinkage will be negligible specially if you cold wash and air dry.

I just ordered the Relove pair. I’m really excited for these to arrive! My first wabash piece. I plan on wearing these for work but I wouldn’t be surprised if they end up for casual wear also

[Danimal506]

A couple detail pictures of my 814 that came in. First day wearing them to work, love these pants!

[Danimal506]

For those that own these (or similar pants)… Do you prefer to have them cuffed or hemmed?

The cuff adds some weight to the bottom and is kinda good with the wider leg opening. But also collects a lot of dirt and debris at work etc.

Hemmed would be cleaner looking as well as physically. And maybe more comfortable with the light weight, wide open legs?

I know this Wabash is not going to shrink very much. But I will wait to hem them after washing to be safe. If I decide to hem them.

Any thoughts are welcome

[yannis]

@Danimal506. I wear mine hemmed and I like them very much. Its personal preference, there is no right answer. I do like wide hem widths anyway.

[yannis]

As far as shrinking, I wouldn't worry about it. It will be negligible if any. Just don't throw them in the dryer.

[Danimal506]

@yannis Cool man. Yea I like both hemmed and cuffed! That makes it tough to decide.
