IH-727-KHA - 9oz Mercerised Selvedge Relaxed Tapered Cut Chinos - Khaki

@CosmoSix5 said in IH-727-KHA - 9oz Mercerised Selvedge Relaxed Tapered Cut Chinos - Khaki:

So generically, lower rise, shorter hem could be a rule for me.

I would say so, as a general rule, yeah. I think @neph93 posted a good summary of this somewhere, but I cannot find it. Maybe someone else will

And this exchange is why I prefer to try on and live with the trousers before making any hemming decisions. Making general rules is hard work, much easier to wear them, see where they actually fit and settle, cuff them to where you want them hemmed, and then take them to a tailor once you're sure. In my view at least!

I'm reminded that I've just spent three weeks in court wondering, in idle moments, why the other side's lead barrister's hem rode up to halfway up his shins whenever he sat down... maybe he made a hemming decision without the benefit of trying on his suit in advance...

That sorry sight will never happen to our favorite IH clad barrister.

@motojobobo I am but a humble solicitor - hence I can afford to look around the courtroom and ponder these things while those far cleverer than me do the hard work.

Hi everyone. I own a couple of pairs of the 721 (based on the 777) but would I want to get the 727 in the same size as the 721 or size up/down?

Thank you in anticipation of your wisdom

@discobeard couple of things: firstly, the cuts are different, so you can’t really do a direct comparison. Secondly, tag sizes mean nothing, it all depends on the actual measurements. Having said that, if you have a pair of trousers resembling the 888, the cut on which the 727 is based, I would measure those and pick the tag sizes based on that.

Bear in mind that the measurements may change with a new run

Hey, no I only have 555 jeans in a couple of different fabrics. I’m aware the 727 is based on the 888, but is the rise on the 888 similar to the 555 given its medium/high? I know the fabric differs and the 555 has a slimmer profile throughout. Also, self edge have 727 chinos (I think) that they refer to as straight taper (which I’m aware is one of their denim cuts), have I read this incorrectly, or are their 727 different from 888 inspired ones?

@discobeard you may be at a point where dropping a note to the guys at IHUK would be helpful: shop@ironheart.co.uk

Please have the measurements on hand of your best fitting pants measured the IHUK way and they should be able to guide you in the right direction as well as explain the intricacies of the cuts.

Here is a link to measure your pants: bottoms

[discobeard]

Thank you guys

@discobeard I do know that in general self edge refers to all iron heart relaxed tapered cuts as straight tapered. If you look up the 888s on their site, they all are listed as straight tapered.

Any idea when these are back in? Need some mid/ high rise khakis..... Thanks.
