IH-802 Hickory Logger

[Seul]

Yeah - but I don't go for 'fresh' looks… I mostly go for 'flying under the radar' looks  ::)

[J Cosmo Asp]

I'll be posting some pics of my Loggers with both a flannel shirt and a hickory stripe pullover later (Prison Blues) today–waiting for the sun.  I wore these to work regularly and most of the last week before I retired June 30--they feel good on hot days.  Being in management, of course, led to some sideways looks and a few comments, but what cares I for praise?  Besides, trading insults with those clones was like dueling with an unarmed man.

I sure hope you find the time now to post more Sir!..

[J Cosmo Asp]

Seul, I sure have the time!  Actually, I'm staying very busy doing all the things that work used to interrupt.  I can't say enough good things about retirement–the list of things I like to do is long--and getting longer.  One item near the top is an IH Evo project that will start in October and run through December involving a pair of 634Ss.

Brilliant!.. Can't wait for it!..

Here's some pics of my custom 802s (W38 L42) wearing both a Prison Blues hickory stripe pullover and a Madsen's Logging Supply red and black buffalo check flannel pullover.  I made the belt (9 oz. cowhide zinc roller buckle, copper rivets) thus it only has/needs one hole) and my size 50 Galibier Super Guides–tough and comfy--just like the 802s.

I also have a Pointer Brand hickory chore coat to complete the "logger's tuxedo".  Maybe pics of that ensemble one day…

woah..not 100% sure on the hickory on hickory combo - but looks great with plaid flannel

[Giles]

My God.  I'm suffering a severe case of vertigo looking at some of those….Agree with Beats about the hickory on hickory.

I have the same Prison Blues pullover (well you know that Cosmo, because you sorted it for me), does not get worn a lot.

Is there any particular reason that IH keeps wanting me to reach for my wallet?

These are awesome.  I like them with the hiking boots pictured above.

jeez - that much hickory doesn't do well on the old LCD . . . think they call it the moire effect

anyway Giles any news on the 801s - I think thats the best colour for the loggers and would look the business with some flannel shirts (or pretty much any of the IH shirting!)

[Chris]

801s are extinct, I believe.  However, there is a replacement, of sorts- the 804s:

thanks about the 801s - just came off the japan website

Will these stretch in the waist with wear?

Between these and the chinos for "chop chop chickenlegs"

[injunjack]

based on my experience…not much. But I always take TTS.

[Giles]

Nothing like the jeans do…................

[elclintor]

1/2"?

[Giles]

I think we need to wait for someone who has 1st hand experienve chip in here.  But my rec would be to oversize a tad with loggers anyway…..

[injunjack]

I can measure mine if they haven't hit the washing machine yet….

At least they haven't shrunken in lenght at all.

[injunjack]

measured, 16 3/8" = 32 3/4"

Tagged W32", measurement on website 32,4"

So very minimal stretching

[elclintor]

Thanks IJ!

I'm a 32" waist. I'll go TTS just to be safe..
