@Tago-Mago again helpful information, and useful about the inseam as I am 195cm.
I was considering them as a 3 season chino as I recently bought the IH747 8oz baker pants for the summer which I love and haven’t taken off since I received them.
Thanks again for your feedback.

@Denimhead-0 Nice. Think you just sealed the deal on me getting the green also!
-
@JunkPants and @warriors22 whats the stretch like on the 25oz?
-
@cyclops haven’t given it much wear yet but I hope it does have some stretch because I went true to size when I normally would get a size bigger like my xhsib
-
@Denimhead-0 @1WayTrip have any sizing advice on the extra heavy tees? I wear a size L in IH shirts and am thinking of picking up size L in these as well. Since these are so heavy I don’t really want anything too fitted.
-
Sounds like L will be right for you. I am XL in IH and same in these.
-
@uclabruin Yeah, both Japanese brands, I would go same size as IH. I went 2XL on both of my Samurai.

Samurai S310XX19OZ.
I got these for a pretty great deal from Okayama denim. I typically wear a 34 but got a 35 due to availability. I also liked the idea of extra space in the waistband for other reasons too.
I’ve never been a wide fit kind of guy, I typically shoot for a straighter fit. More around the 9-9.5” hem, these are well over 11”.
I wanted to try something different since I’ve been wearing 888’s for the last 500+ days straight and I’ve always hated how restricted I felt in them. In these, there is no restriction. I’m moving in them like I move in shorts.. it’s awesome.
But when it comes to the fit, I feel as if they look too big on me. Today I’ll be hot soaking and washing them to see if I can get any sort of shrinkage.
Update: I will be finishing the IIY5 competition in my 888XHS still. These will be worn after competition assuming they work out for me.

S3000XX 17oz SDS Slub Murasame
A random impulse pickup at Franklin & Poe. These have been my go-to pair for the past few months. Lots of soaks. Lots of machine washes. Some cold. Some warm. I love this fabric so much. The texture is unique, and I get stopped and complimented all the time. The first week, a guy working the smoothie place at the airport literally yelled from across the hall asking me to walk over so he could see them up close.

@Go-For-Chill that fabric looks insane.
