Love the SF Giants orange and black Loggers! Can't wait for the customs, whenever that happens. Landon, post some pics in these with an SF jersey on!

These pants are unbelievable, as we all know nothing even comes close to IH. These pants are in a league all by themselves. Pretty sure these are the most amazing work pants ever made. Thank you Haraki-San!

^ haha, Just got mine in the mail today. Thank you Giles. I should be able to pull the trigger soon on those SR's.
My exact words when I pulled them out of the package "Holy Shit!"
These make my SRs feel like flannel pajama pants. I could barely sit down in them at first.
side by side,
hands down the best work pants I have ever had the pleasure of wearing. I can't wait to see how long they last. -

^So far so good.
Just wanted to do a quick 1 week review. My overall impression of these is very good. They are a good fit for physical work and are extremely tough. The only negative things I have to say about them is that I wish the double knee continued down the leg another 3"- 4"and the water resistant coating is more or less useless. I'm not sure if my pair didn't get coated, or maybe that they've been beaten up fairly good as of now. Regardless the water does not bead off of them like I had expected. These are just minor details though.
In the grand scheme of things these are quite impressive. The make SR's feel like dress slacks and that's saying a lot right there.anyway, here is a couple pictures of them after the first week of work,

Hard labor does these justice
^ IH-804's do hard labor justice.
Thanks for comments. Major kudos to IH for dreaming these up.
These continue to impress me. It rained/snowed all day and they were completely saturated. They became a whole new beast when they were wet. I sat down for a 15 min break and when I went to stand up it was almost like I had 1/8" sheet metal wrapped around my legs. From now on I'll try and space out the updates to every couple of months instead of days. These are great pants. I suggest getting a pair.

I have a feeling you will get another feature in Haraki-san's blog. Waw!

that amount of wear you put into your work pants in such a short frame of time is incredible

Filson's sells a paraffin treatment that should work to get the waterproofing back. It is best applied melted (remove from the tin and melt in the microwave in a suitable container) and applied with a brush or cloth over the areas which have lost their waxed color–usually from abrasion. I did this to my Double Tin pants several times. The reason waxed cotton is so good is that it breathes, unlike rain gear, which just makes you sweat inside of it--you get the "hydraulic jerks" as we used to say--shivering whenever you stop working or moving for more than a minute. The trade-off is re-treatment of the fabric. The authentic logger look look is a re-treated one. See here for the product: http://www.filson.com/mens/accessories/other-accessories/-101112/?follow=no
Kybosh obviously has my vote for the IH "Working Class Hero"!Asp
