IH-816 - 17oz Duck Work Pants

[Appfaff]

nice @Haddtoo 555 !

[Dion]

Is it correct that all colours of the 816 are reactive dyed and won't fade? Side note: and the 707 will fade?

[Giles]

No, the brown will fade…..Not sure what happens to the 707.....

[FurattoHeddo]

The beige will fade too in high friction areas…

[rocket]

the blue ones as well, or maybe they are just dirty 

[Dion]

Thanks, gentlemen!

[gratefulmelon]

My beige pair faded all over after multiple washes. High friction areas are more pronounced.

[Haddtoo 555]

Thanks guys ….. now we know.

[Dion]

Any news on the final restock?

[Giles]

Browns a few months away
Nave and beige scheduled for late May

Almost 3 years old now, worn once or twice a week

The 816s are my favourite non denim bottoms of all times - a (relatively) hidden jewel of the IH line-up IMO

Just got mine a couple days ago … Glad to scoff up a pair before the khaki goes bye bye ...

Congrats @Irkku Paska
My feelings and experience exactly re the beige [emoji1303]

[Haddtoo 555]

@zatenm how often do you wash them?

[zatenm]

@Haddtoo 555 quite infrequently, maybe 3 times a year

[Haddtoo 555]

Thanks

Thinking of using these for work…..which means I would have to wash them a lot....not sure how they will hold onto their color.

I wear my navy pair 2 or 3 days each week for work, and they're washed regularly - colour is good, with slight fading at the higher wear areas, i.e. pockets, belt loops. I'll try to get some pics up tomorrow.

Just to add, I'll be buying another pair of the navy, and probably a beige pair when they appear in May

Wear pics - these are washed frequently, usually every 1 to 2 weeks, and have been continuously worn since I bought them in July last year

Hard to capture the colour, they are actually navy but look more black in the pics

[Haddtoo 555]

Thanks for the pics…...those are holding up well

Well my work is mostly office based, but I do get to spend time in and around some very large bits of equipment, and they've been resistant to scuffing in that respect
