I can post complete instructions and were to get the dye if you'd like.

Thanks

I've used their products before (Dharma). Just one question how hot did you get the water….i'm going to use a steel tub or garbage can with an induction burner underneath that should get me all the heat I need.

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

I washed the pants in 3 heaping tablespoons of Samurai thunder soap in cold water, then: I just pasted the dye in about a gallon of boiling hot water. I used about 3 gallons of hottest tap water a half a cup of sea salt, 4 oz of jet black dye, and 1 cup of soda ash dissolved in a half gallon of hot water, added to the pants after an hour soak and let the sit for about her hour. Don't pour the soda ash directly on the pants. Move them to the side and slowly add it. Rinse and machine wash. You don't need heat, just plenty of non-iodized salt and soda ash added to the bath after an hour soak.

@Filthy25ozJunkie:

Is this the same company?

@Filthy25ozJunkie

Thanks for the info….I'll hold off on dying my 714's for now due to scoring a pair of 821's for work.

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

Hope you enjoy them!!

@D97x7:

Well my 705s have, so I'm assuming the 714s will be the same.
705 next to 714

It looks like the green 705´s are fading to brown here. Is that the case? If so I'll relax about the same thing happening to my 714's

[D97x7]

Yes, I'd say that was a fair assessment.

Thanks for clarifying. I've been wearing the 714's a bit without washing and I've noticed brown whispers forming and figured it was dirt. They just had their first wash and the brown was still there, honeycombs too. They're great trousers.

How are they compared to to IH-714 in means of thickness and wearability?

@W1N:

It's quite a different fabric. The 718 is not as thick or as coarse as the serge. It has a much more luxurious finish and is a much tighter weave. Still very soft and wearable.

[neph93]

I'll add this, while cargo pants are only ever going to be for work or leisure activities, the material if the 718 is much "smarter" than the material of the 714. I love them both.

Thank god it is getting colder…

[sabergirl]

Those look great! I miss my olive 705s. I have yet to get my hands on a size 36 of these, the 34 are too small at the moment.

@sabergirl, thanks!
