IH-814-IND - 12oz Wabash Painter's Pants - Indigo
-
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
-
@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.
-
As far as shrinking, I wouldn't worry about it. It will be negligible if any. Just don't throw them in the dryer.
-
@yannis Cool man. Yea I like both hemmed and cuffed! That makes it tough to decide.
-
@Danimal506 In my opinion wider leg openings look better hemmed short especially with lighter weight fabrics. Cuffs look better with heavier denim in cuts that have smaller hem, again in my opinion.
-
@Oaktavia That makes sense. With the 12oz Wabash and the painters pant style cut, I think a good hem would make for a killer fit.
-
@Danimal506 agreed

Bonus pair that made it to shorts!
good idea

@Mister_Brue Great point!
Luckily I have a Self Edge nearby that I can bring them to and still have the chain stitch hemming. I think I will hem them sooner rather than later.

So much crocking, my safety harness is turning green!
And my hands blue!

@Danimal506 dude!! Those pants give you mad cred on your skill set. Only a pro would wear such incredible pants!!
-
@Mizmazzle haha thanks dude! I am enjoying wearing these very much. It makes work more fun!
-
35 hard wears at work and 3 machine washes. They’re starting to build some character!
-
I'd like to order these from the Iron Heart website.
I live not too far from a Self-Edge location that has a lot of Iron Heart merchandise, but does not stock these. Is there anything I can try on that will have a similar fit for sizing purposes?
Normally I'd feel bad about such a thing, but I've purchased so much from Self-Edge I'll remain guilt free.

@Engineer-Goby . A pair of 634 jeans will get you in the ballpark
-
@Engineer-Goby I have moved your question to the 814-IND thread to keep the discussion in one area.

Got mine delivered today along with the ROTOTO roll up hat. (Awesome btw)
Hemming was done perfectly and these are so cool!! I used to wear painters back in the day but not like this! Thanks @Shaun again for grabbing the perfect waist size. Thank you @JoshC for the phone chat and Iron Heart for making em! Chibs from 98 would be totally jealous RN!!
