IH-830-IND - 10.5oz Herringbone Painter’s Pants - Indigo

@Slash realistically, if you want air circulation a looser cut will be the way to go. The slimmer a cut the less air circulation you will get. It’s basic physics

@John-Galt we didn't get any im afraid. But we can check with Japan and we will let you know.

@JoshC yes - greatly appreciate if the team can check if a tag size 28 can be snagged from IH Japan - I’ll take them and take a chance on the dimensions working via integrating down from the posted tag size 30 & 31 dimensions. Thanks in advance!

@tvaillant75 As mentioned by @goosehd these are a twill weave so there should be 2-3cm of stretch available in the waist.

That said, I like my pants relatively loose, especially a lighter-weight painters pants, so I go with the measurements as close as possible to what I want them to be, knowing they’ll loosen up a bit. That’s what belts are for. But that’s simply my personal preference.

With these I’m right in-between waist sizes, but the thigh measurement is important to me because that does not stretch, so I will probably go with the larger waist size to be sure I have enough room in the thigh, and put a note in the order asking the IHUK Crew to find me one as close to my ideal waist size as possible with my minimum thigh measurement.

Think these are going to be purchase of the summer. What do I need to measure if I decide to hem them. Thanks

@baz Please use this guide for any information on how to measure bottoms per the IHUK method: https://ironheart.co.uk/pages/how-we-measure-bottoms

@ShopatIronHeart any feedback if that tag size 28 still showing available on the IH Japan website could be snagged for my purchase? Thanks in advance for any info provided.

[John Galt]

@ShopatIronHeart Cancel my request for the tag size 28 from Japan please - I just realized that the rear rise on these run at least an inch lower in comparing the tag size 30 to both my black and indigo wabby painters I purchased in the past, and therefore would require a larger waist than previous. Thanks though if started the ball rolling already and my apologies.

@John-Galt No problem at all - I'll pass this along to @JoshC for you!

If I usually get jeans like 634s with a 32.2"-32.5" waist, should I shoot for tag 31 or 32? I'm a 32 in almost all IH pants, but I'm not sure on which size to get with these (and the brown version).

Tag 31 listed waist: 32.0"
Tag 32 listed waist: 32.8"

Thanks!

[Ross]

@pmarks7 Probably the tag 32, these aren't going to stretch that much like your jeans do, so going with the bigger size if your inbetween sizes is the safer bet

The care info on the Iron Heart website says "We recommend washing this garment at 30°C with a low (or no) spin cycle. Hang dry, do not tumble dry", however the care instructions on the pocket and tag say "tumble dry low". The same is true of the wabash pants and probably others. So which one should we follow and If we tumble dry, how much shrinkage can we expect? @ShopatIronHeart

[Workwear]

I hung dry it and seemed fine afterwards. Not sure why you'd tumble dry with heat if you don't want shrinkage.

I don't want to hem them and have the inseam come up over time. Plus I'm curious why there is conflicting care info.

[Ross]

@samo Despite what the pocket bag says, we almost always advise against tumble drying (even on low) because it yields unpredictable results, there's simply too many variables between different fabrics and machines.

@Tobi They look really good and suit you perfectly. They go really well with a hoodie or a shirt too... I think I'll have to give them a go myself now

[Tobi]

@markus_berlin_ Will take them travelling this summer.. one of my lightest IH long pants! They were fresh out of the brown bag, so without any creases yet..
