IHSW-70-OLV - 14oz Ultra Heavyweight Loopwheel Cotton Sweat Pants - Olive
-
Got my sweats in! These are super sweet. I’m actually kinda surprised the L wasn’t too big. The waistband is a little odd though. Like the fabric is loose around the inner elastic, which seems too narrow for the thick waistband it’s contained in. Seems like the 3” band could have been narrowed a little to match.

@ShopatIronHeart Is there a list of retailers that have these? I see a few people mentioning they got them elsewhere, but can't find a retailer list
Sadly missed out on a restock notification today on IHUK

Been wearing these pretty much nonstop since they arrived. The cut is perfect. I’m falling more and more in love with this thick heavy fabric, yet I’m becoming increasingly disappointed in the waistband. I just don’t understand the half-width elastic. The heft of the fabric depends on a hefty waistband and this is not as hardy as the rest of the garment. I have a pair of Champion sweats with the same style waistband, and on those, the elastic is the full height of the outer cloth wrap and stitched stretched under tension to the legs. Maybe this should be moved to the “what can we improve” thread, but I mean for this to be constructive: imo, the elastic should be the full width, and be better secured to the pants. Here you can see where the waist is creasing in half at the edge of the elastic as it floats inside the oversized waistband.

I’m tempted to take them to a tailor, cut the inner layer just above the seam, replace the elastic with a wider band and stitch it back down over itself, slightly reducing the width of the band while making it more sturdy. Or…. I’ll be cheap and lazy and just keep wearing them as is lol

Well, I will say, I have two pairs of the IHSW-35? (think that’s the number) and they’ve lost a bit of elasticity over the years, but for the most part still work fine.
I think this is one of those times that Haraki San stuck with heritage details that would be better updated. The drawstring does the lifting here
