NEW CUT - Relaxed Straight Cut Jeans

[Jett129]

@Giles First thought…Holy Shit he’s diving in the new jeans! Second thought…I wonder if/how they affect his/your buoyancy? Would guess negatively if at all.

@Jett129 They taught us how to use our pants as flotation devices in Navy boot camp. Isn't that right, @goosehd ? It can be done!

[goosehd]

@seawolf sure did and pretty funny to watch

There was a reason that we wore bell bottoms.

First forum member to produce video of them using IH jeans as a flotation device gets a free pair of jeans from IHUK ( I don’t have the power to make this happen…legal disclaimer)

Paging @denim-dawg, this sounds right up his alley!

@SKT You won’t do it…

[SKT]

@Go-For-Chill this is correct…won’t be me but some braver soul might be tempted

[Jett129]

@seawolf I actually took the lifeguard certification class and they also taught us to use pants as a flotation device.

I'm guessing 18oz

Would be my bet as well… close up pics look similar to the 292. Mark me down for a pair if so!

I’m thinking it’s the 17N fabric myself. Based on the hairiness of it. Reminds me of my T3 with that denim. But we’ll find out soon enough. I’m so stoked for measurements in my size.

Wearing them again tonight. The diving in them, poor freshwater rinse and 3 days to dry them properly, made them stink to high-heaven and made me super unpopular ......

We have a bath at the new place we are at, so gave them an extended soak and dried them on the balcony in 8 hours.

I do not think I stink now. Well, I probably do, but can't blame it on the jeans any longer....

[Giles]

On our way home....

Unfortunately, the Cathay lounge in Manila is rammed.....

[Tago Mago]

@Giles did you go diving in them again?

[Giles]

Nope. They stank so much after the first dive, and I needed someone who knows what a camera is, so that rules out Paula.....

Nice! Love the desert boots. So when are we gonna stop being teased and actually find out what’s up with this new model / denim?

[GoodtimeJohnny]

Please be soon!?!?!

Timing of the announcement is up to @Alex Alex. All I am doing is posting a few pics and wearing them....

If I stop posting, then I can't be accused of teasing I guess.

[Fadez]

That is the opposite of what we want! Post like crazy @Giles

Also curious to hear how the jeans did in the tropical heat. Would you do it again? I’m not sure denim and heat & humidity like Vietnam are compatible but you are built different

[Giles]

These were fine actually, but I did not do anything too physically demanding in them
