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

[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

@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.

[JunkPants]

@Mister_Brue Nice, already looking forward to seeing the results

[Mizmazzle]

@Mister_Brue that’s a great strategy. I have a UES Tricotine that’s been iced in my closet for next fall because I got 3 other indigo shirts right at the same time.

@Mizmazzle sounds about right haha

[JunkPants]

@Mizmazzle I have a stockpile as well.....
(Dig those Tricotine shirts by the way! I have no doubt I'll break down and get one at some point).

[Mizmazzle]

@JunkPants it’s a sweet shirt for sure! But then Iron Heart has a way of making everything else take a back seat.

[JunkPants]

@Mizmazzle 100% true!

[FlavourFade]

@Mizmazzle had the tricotine shirt a while ago. Great shirt and fast fader but like you said, when you have IH stuff, everything else just don't really compares anymore... Maybe with some exceptions

Alright, I didn’t wear them skiing because it was too damn cold but I did rock ‘em riding my good bud “Nacho” on the trail ride. Plz disregard my ski clothes cause I was freezing

Official wash week…I’ll post some pics when I get it done

[Mizmazzle]

@Daniel-San I misspoke about the height of the belt loops. I became curious and measured my 888s and then my 822s. The height is indeed longer on the 822s than other jeans I own.

The height from the top seam to the bottom of the belt loop attachment is 2 inches on the 888s. The 822s is .25 inches longer at 2.25”.

Just a little bit of technical data on the belt loops as discussed several posts up from this one.

@SKT horse hair and saddle fades!! OG as hell!!

[Denman John]

@SKT That definitely looks like some ideal horse riding country. Enjoy your time there!

[SKT]

I’m afraid there’s not much evo since the last round but thought I’d put some pre-wash pics up. They’re in the wash now and I’ll post some more after they dry. Really love these, they’ve been my cold weather buddies these past few months

Silver dollar in the coin pocket ^

[Mizmazzle]

Is it the 822s specifically that get this incredible roping or does all the OG 21oz rope out like this?

[Denman John]

I just got my 822s hemmed after a year of wearing them cuffed and losing the roping hurt a little bit…

[Mizmazzle]

@Denman-John oh I bet. I do think cuffing is what brings out the best roping. I don’t cuff my other jeans and they don’t have that beautiful clean roping. More tattered and ragged looking.
