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

I was out in the morning sun and got a couple detail pics of my 822s

[Mizmazzle]

@Danimal506 looks like you’re getting some nice evo on that fave triangle spot! Also elsewhere! Looking really good.

Another detail I’ve grown to love, is that the belt loops are larger. When a belt is worn, there is still that extra length that makes getting keychain hooks attached all the easier.

@Mizmazzle
are they ? have a great belt which is borderline for the belt loops of 555,666 I have in rotation.
will check immediately

[Mizmazzle]

@Daniel-San yeah. It’s not a wider top to bottom attachment. But the loop fabric is longer so the loops themselves are longer.

[Danimal506]

@Mizmazzle Yea they’re finally starting to give way to some fading. Trying to push them as much as I can before it gets too hot here in Texas.

[Mizmazzle]

Went on my second hike in my 822s today. 100% the fastest and best roping I’ve ever had.

[SKT]

@Mizmazzle damn they are moving fast…need to step up my game. If the weather holds here I might ski in them. That’s gotta do something right?

[anodyne]

@SKT If Iron Heart made pants to telemark in, it would be these. Pics please.

[Mizmazzle]

@SKT skiing in them and maybe a yard sale or two will really get some fades going! ️

[Danimal506]

A couple of close ups in the sunlight. Almost time for a wash, or at least a soak.

[Mizmazzle]

@Danimal506 that roping!

Want these so bad. I’m typically 34 in most IH cuts like 888 or 666 and usually 35 or 36 in 777. How does these relate to what you guys are wearing? Thx

[yannis]

@Denimhead-0. They are closer to a 634 than any other cuts. Size wise for me, i took the same size as my 634 and the fit was spot on. I see that you are familiar with the 888's. I will take the same size as the 888's of course always considering the actual measurement.

[Mizmazzle]

@Denimhead-0 I find that all my jeans end up with a 33” waist. Including these.

[Denimhead 0]

Good to know. Sounds like I would be safe w 34 or 35. Much appreciated @Mizmazzle and @yannis

[goosehd]

Spot on information! The 822’s are just like a pair of any of your favourite 634’s, 666’s, etc. in 21oz that will stretch with wear and time (waist) and should be treated as such. You should get an 1” or 1.5” stretch in the waist with that wear.

As always, it isn’t an exact science and may vary with how much pressure is exerted on the waistband. Great advice @Mizmazzle @yannis

Thank you

[Danimal506]

@Denimhead-0 I agree with the above, I have 36” 555-21 and 777-14 and these are 36 as well. I’ve always had a little bit of tightness in those cuts, whereas this cut is perfect! I plan to get 634 next. Whether 21 or 14. I haven’t decided.

@Mizmazzle @Danimal506 Looking awesome! I’m saving mine for II Y5 in September.

[Mizmazzle]

@Mister_Brue that’s a great idea. I look forward to following your progress on these in the II…they should be a unique pair for the competition.

Sometimes I think about entering myself, but I’m always too excited to get my new jeans to wait even an extra second to start wearing them.

[Mister_Brue]

@Mizmazzle Indeed, but luckily I now have two pairs of 1955’s and a pair of 602’s to keep me going over the summer.
