IH-822-IND - Double Knee 21oz Selvedge Denim Engineer's Pants - Indigo

@SKT When I saw your pictures from a few days ago, I noticed the same fading in the crotch area. Maybe it’s due to the extra layer of denim restricting movement in that area? I don’t know, but I do know these are amazing jeans that I’ll keep alive for many years to come. They just look better the more you wear them!

@Denman-John great googly moogley! I’ll be ready to pounce on these.

@HalfPastNever measurements always get updated with restock and even if there's no difference IHUK will tell us

Can any previous owners/ wearers of these provide any info regarding stretch or lack of it on this fabric. My wife and I are after grabbing a surprise pair for our son, as he's been after a pair for over a year. Looking at the current size chart he seems to come in between 36/ 38 so we are wondering to come in slightly under or over.
-
@Blueband the waist is going to stretch up to an inch. Maybe a bit more if under enough pressure.
For me, my jeans all seem to settle at around 33” in actually waist measurement. I’ll be looking at Tag 31 which looks to have a waist of 32”. With a couple days of wear that will stretch out to 33” or even a bit more if I mange to gain a bit of weight etc.
I also wear a belt and that helps keep my jeans from stretching more than I’d like them to.
Also, this 21oz denim won’t shrink with a cold wash line dry. Meaning, if you wash them right away they won’t get any smaller. Once they stretch out with some wear, they will return to their original size when new. Then stretch again with more wear.
I prefer to start my jeans a tad snug and have them stretch to fit. They stretch easily and it’s not much of a struggle to get an excellent fit. Others prefer to start at their actual waist size out of the bag. All personal preference.

@Mizmazzle Thanks for the reply. I was thinking of going lower( 36) to allow stretch, rather larger(38). It's easier when I buy my own as I know exactly what size ratio is right. Harder when for someone else and what they are comfortable with. I've measured his IHDR-502bb so I can go ballpark. But, neither he or I have had 21oz before.

@Giles I was curious if the current chart was the updated one or not. Got a notice that Graham I think it was updated the thread…but the chart looks identical. (I’ve been studying for a couple months so almost have it memorized at this point)
In the easy chair with my boots on, melted whiskey in my hand. Could'na been asleep for more than three hours...time to go to work again...

It not. Check the edit history can be seen clearly

I've updated product and OP now - sorry, we had these measured mid last week, but for some reason failed to follow process properly and update them anywhere useful...
-
@Mizmazzle , agreed, these new measurements look great!
-
better than the last batch

To cuff or not to cuff…that is the question?
I’m not a cuffer. But sort of wondering if this style might call for a cuff. I don’t generally like how the hem gets frayed and worn with a cuff. Prefer a cleaner look at the boot without the cuff. But stil…I’m left wondering.

@Mizmazzle Why don’t you try something different and go with a cuff and see if you like it. If you don’t find they jive, you can always get them hemmed. Happy retail therapy
