IH-816DD - Double Indigo Rope Dyed Canvas Work Pants

[Giles]

Basically yes & yes…

@Giles - Thanks for the reply.

It is sad because it means that this pair and most other IH jeans won't fit my legs.
So is it a smart idea to go from a tag size of 30 to 34 and then get the waist reduced by a tailor?

I think that drastic of a reduction would be difficult to pull off and still maintain the integrity of the pants. I have some 634sb that another forum member had tailored from a 38 to 34 inch waist, and they bunch a little bit in strange places.

@Sreeni:

I asked this for DWCxUHR and I am asking it for the IH-816DD.
I found the 11.8 inches room for thigh of the IH-6634 (tag size 30) narrower than I wanted.  It is 11.3 for the IH-816DD. Does this mean this one won't fit my legs or will I have to wear it to be sure?
Also, will every pair of IH pants with thighs smaller than 11.8 be too tight for me?
Please advise. Thanks

I'm new here, but I think measuring your current best fitting pants per the IHUK guide will answer all of your questions.

But, ultimately common sense dictates that 11.8>11.3, so if the IH-6634 didn't fit, these surely won't with less fabric stretch…..

I'm afraid that isn't smart.  May=be we are not the jeans for you…..Sorry....

Copped mine [emoji3] Now at the tailor for hemming, can't wait to get them back!

[deanclean]

I'm jealous. canada is a little farther than you I guess. Enjoy em

[zatenm]

Thanks @deanclean [emoji106]

[deanclean]

Got mine today. Sometimes the anticipation leads up to a let down. Not in this case. These are my new favourite slacks![emoji3] and well worth the wait

[zatenm]

Couldn't agree more @deanclean. Congrats on your receiving your pair…! Mine are just back from hemming. These will seriously compete with my jeans as my daily beaters.

(What a fabric!)

Super crappy quick fit pics from cloudy yesterday:

Quickly put to good use - first wear to work today [emoji4]
Makes a great pairing with the TW112 IMO (or any indigo western for that matter, especially if you're not too keen on the classic Canadian tux look)

Close-up comparo with the 112 (again under pale evening light). The DD indigo is very deep and rich:

Better pics hopefully soon!

[deanclean]

These look like they fit great I'm loving mine too. Haven't hemmed them yet cause it looks like they may scrunch up a little in the legs. I love the blue stitching on the blue material. Not flashy at all.

Cool pic, G.

The DDs make a wicked combo especially with a white T
Simple & elegant - you could wear this every single day if you want and it wouldn't get old…..

[deanclean]

I do!

[Giles]

Me too…..Actually, today I am wearing IH-816 in navy as the IH-816DD are still wet from yesterdays boat chasing escapades....

Perfect fit zatenm. Canvas/Duck double indigo is beautiful by IH.

[zatenm]

Thanks @Jordonf9
At the risk of sounding sacrilegious, Duck (DD or otherwise) might very well be my favourite IH fabric
Of course I'm biased because of 2526j (no other type III can touch it IMO), the 816's (king of work pants) and now this very promising and beautiful DD [emoji111]️
