IH-721-KHA - 9oz Mercerised Selvedge Cotton Slim Tapered Chinos - Khaki

[Alex]

Should be pretty soon now..

[Slash]

Maybe a silly question, but how deep/comfortable are the pockets on those ? Really like the way arms are relaxed when your hands are in the pockets with chinos, but pockets needs to go down some for my liking

[will6er]

@Slash Pockets are very nice on them. The trousers are "robust" to say the least.

[Slash]

@will6er Hey thanks man for the help !

When you say robust, do you mean stiff as a cardboard or something else ?

I'd like to buy one true to size more or less......did you buy oversized ? How does it feel behind the knees when bending legs ?

Good we to all

[will6er]

@Slash I have had for about 2 weeks and worn perhaps 8 times.

The fabric is heavy, it starts stiff and so far has softened a little but stayed strong. I can't really describe it; all the chinos I have are soft but these are robust.

I terms of sizing - there is little or no stretch in them so went a size up from denim because of that. I feel they are more comfortable now than 2 weeks ago so there must have been some give. The 777 fit meant at first they felt tight on the upper leg when sat down but not so much now.

Knees feel fine, they do stack a as others said.

Obviously they are great but I may try some of the other fits if / when they come in so I have something more laid back. On the other hand I may buy other colors in these.

[Slash]

@will6er Great answer ! Might help some other forum members too later on

I have already some chinos that are laid back, and soft like you say in terms of fabric.

Those here might just hit the spot for me between more "classy" pants than denim with still some ruggedness in them.

Thx !

Lol, lots of stuff I had an eye on releasing at the same time
Eagerly waiting for measurements (if any changes)

Sizing chart can now be found within the first post by clicking here.

Please be aware you may not be able to view the product's website page leading up to launch, as it will be briefly offline whilst we prepare for the restock at 1600 BST on Monday 7th April.

[Slash]

Very nice

Measures are so good for me that I might be able to buy it without having to bitch at the crew for once

RESTOCK

[mudhogen]

Size 36 secured. Wanted these since trying on a size too small last April

[mudhogen]

Fit is great on these. Will most likely get them hemmed even though the selvedge is super cool

[indigostiff]

@mudhogen the accessories in this photo tell so many stories... and ask so many questions... !!

[Slash]

@mudhogen Looks great honestly

Was kind of aiming for this fit while ordering, but I think I sadly made my first judgement error

Since I've let those hemmed and cannot return, I'm tempted to try to shrink it some.

@ShopatIronHeart : How would you guys go on with this ? Try to wash at 40C° or directly 60C° ? To give an idea I ordered a 35, but should have gone for 34, so it could shrink a full size.

Thanks guys ! If other members have idea's, welcome

[Giles]

Won't happen.....See product details:

Fabric Focus
One-Washed

• Post construction, we wash the completed garment in an aggressive industrial washing machine. This process removes virtually all potential shrinkage.
• No further shrinkage is expected when washed according to our care guidelines

[Slash]

@Giles Hey Giles thx for taking the time to answer.

I read the product page and your excerpt but it says "....when washed according to our care guidelines"; I was thinking about greatly ignoring those

Ok joke aside, I guess I'll just try and see then, could be interesting for other members down the road

[Giles]

Worth a go, but I don’t think you will see much. But please report back…

[Adero]

Edit; just saw @Giles reply to @Slash above...I'll go for 40C, should be all good.

@Alex
(or anyone else that feel they have the answer, please chip in)

Hi there,
copped myself a pair of 721 Chinos a few days ago. Was lucky to stumble across (a long time missing) size 32 in your shop.
Before I will take them up, I will give them a machine wash.
The care label says "40 C wash" and your Care Guidelines on the product page it states:
"We recommend washing this garment at 30°C** with a low (or no) spin cycle."

I assume it would be safe to wash them at 40°C, but would you advise otherwise? They will be washed numerous times over time due to their colour (beige/khaki). And cotton does shrink over time, so just as well get most of the shrinkage out already now...?

Cheers!

Thanks for the chocolate by the way! Much appreciated.

@Adero Hey man, I'll try to help, but please understand this is my experience only, and you should treat an item of this price nicely imo

If you read 2 or 3 posts above, I asked if this could be shrunk because I did sized it too big, and the answer was that it would be difficult.

So I did try to wash at 30C and 40C with low spin (400) and the damn thing would effectively not move

I could only shrink it by putting it in the dryer at medium heat for 25 minutes (kids don"t do this at home !)

Long story short I think you're very safe at 30C or 40C !

Sorry @Giles , I forgot to report the data

For those interested, with the dryer, The item went from a size 35 to 34 only in waist and knee, and it lost 2 cm in the inseam.

All other measurements did not move at all.

Again be very careful ! Medium heat is not nothing and I did pull the item out of the dryer every 5 minutes from the 10th minute to measure it Since I was in a public place (I don't own a dryer) I let you imagine how I did look...
