IH-717-OLV - 9oz Mercerised Selvedge Cotton Straight Cut Chinos - Olive
Our traditional straight-cut chino pants, made from 9oz selvedge chino cloth. While this may be our lightest chino fabric, the cotton undergoes a mercerisation process before weaving, strengthening the yarns for durability comparable to heavier-weight fabrics and a smoother finish. Combined with the medium-rise, straight-leg silhouette (based on our “634” jean cut), the result is a pair of tough yet highly breathable pants, offering comfort and timeless chino styling for dressing up or down.

How hard would it be to replace the copper snap with a sewn on button like the IH-730? also is the fabric too thick to do a traditional trouser cuffed hem on them?
-
@Appfaff
On the snap - relativley hard, as there would be a hole on the side you'd need to sew the button to from the snap hardware. You'd need to patch the fabric, then sew a button. On the outside you'd need to use the snap hope to make a button hole, and make it look good, which would also be hard. May be possible, but not in the wheelhouse of our crew.For the hem, @JoshC or @Lynne will let you know later on this morning when they get to work

@Alex @Appfaff @JoshC I think the weight would be fine but the trouser leg length may not. It would depend on your leg length, any taper in the trousers and your desired cuff height (by traditional cuff you’re meaning a full height cuff that’s doubled over?) If you let us know that and your waist, we can look at a pair and advise.

@Alex Cheers Alex, I figured as much, but was curious! I appreciate the honest answer! Is there a snap replacement that might be a bit more smooth? Just worried if I wear with a blazer, the snap might cause some abrasion.
-
The smoother options are the smaller, but possibly more proud, black and white heavy duty snaps. I’m not sure that it would look very good on there given how small they are. They also maybe more noticeable when you sit down.
I also don’t think you’re likely to damage your blazer - you’d probably need to sit on the tails and then move around for any wear to show, and at that point your body weight is more likely to cause damage to the blazer (ripping) than the snap I feel
-
@Appfaff ok - going by your measurements, I would think a 1.5” cuff would look in proportion for your size. That would make a cut line of 34.5” which, without looking at an actual pair, should be doable.
Traditional cuffs are 1.75” (which may be possible too) and if you want a bold look then 2” (doubt we’d have enough fabric in the leg to do this.)
If you want to place an order and add a note to say we’ve spoken about this in the forum and whether you want a slim or deep cuff. Then the customer service team will pick out the nearest pair to your desired waist measurement and the longest leg.
I can then look at them and advise exactly what size traditional cuff you’d get before we cut them. We’d send you a picture of it roughly folded so you can see the overall appearance and you can decide then. -

Regarding the recent release of of the IH-717 chinos.
The information recorded on the product page at the time of release stated that these pants were not expected to shrink with washing. We have since carried out some tests in the office which prove that this is untrue, the pants do reveal some shrinkage with a gentle wash (40 celsius with low spin).
As such you can expect approximately 0.5" shrinkage in the waist, and approximately 1" shrinkage in the inseam. Other dimensions are expected to shrink in proportion to this. Any area put under tension, will have a tendency to stretch back out to approximately pre soak sizing. Those that are not (inseam), will not.
As always, if you have any questions regarding this information or if you need any assistance with sizing please do reach out to Shop@Ironheart.co.uk.
On behalf of the Iron Heart team - Apologies for the inconvenience caused.

After a combination of planned and unexpected trips that got in the way of my Chinos getting into my hands, I finally was able to give them a go. This is my first Iron Heart sizing after losing about 60 pounds, so I knew sizing would be a gamble - mainly because I have been wearing high rise and relaxed cuts, so I probably should have gone with a 33 instead of a 32 (Although there is not much pull at the pockets so it's not too noticeably snug) mainly due to the hips and rise, but I already got the fabric to "grow" about 1/8 to 1/4 inch with a pre-wear steam iron, so I am hopeful the material can snap back to this size even after a wash.
Overall, it's what I remember from previous 717 cuts, although significantly slimmer looking - I do enjoy the shorter inseam with no stacking, I just feel like it makes the leg look a lot cleaner than my previous pairs have been.
I will be tracking the measurements and stretch here in this thread if anyone is curious.
Here are the measures before wearing:
Waist: 33.5
F Rise: 11
B Rise: 15.5
Thigh: 12.5
Knee (12" down): 8.75
Inseam: 31.5
Leg Opening: 8.25Overall, love the fabric.
