@Danimal506 I can assure you it fades beautifully. That is one of the great things about this model. It fades in unusual and exciting ways due to the design.

I’ll post some pics of my retired W34’s when I can be arsed.

[SKT]

@neph93 no pressure but I’m looking forward to seeing yours because they were a big reason I picked up mine. Meanwhile mine are still inching along towards their first proper wash

[neph93]

@SKT its all about the inching with 21oz

[Danimal506]

@neph93 Hell yea!

[Danimal506]

I was out in the morning sun and got a couple detail pics of my 822s

[Mizmazzle]

@Danimal506 looks like you’re getting some nice evo on that fave triangle spot! Also elsewhere! Looking really good.

Another detail I’ve grown to love, is that the belt loops are larger. When a belt is worn, there is still that extra length that makes getting keychain hooks attached all the easier.

@Mizmazzle
are they ? have a great belt which is borderline for the belt loops of 555,666 I have in rotation.
will check immediately

[Mizmazzle]

@Daniel-San yeah. It’s not a wider top to bottom attachment. But the loop fabric is longer so the loops themselves are longer.

[Danimal506]

@Mizmazzle Yea they’re finally starting to give way to some fading. Trying to push them as much as I can before it gets too hot here in Texas.

[Mizmazzle]

Went on my second hike in my 822s today. 100% the fastest and best roping I’ve ever had.

[SKT]

@Mizmazzle damn they are moving fast…need to step up my game. If the weather holds here I might ski in them. That’s gotta do something right?

[anodyne]

@SKT If Iron Heart made pants to telemark in, it would be these. Pics please.

[Mizmazzle]

@SKT skiing in them and maybe a yard sale or two will really get some fades going! ️

[Danimal506]

A couple of close ups in the sunlight. Almost time for a wash, or at least a soak.

[Mizmazzle]

@Danimal506 that roping!

Want these so bad. I’m typically 34 in most IH cuts like 888 or 666 and usually 35 or 36 in 777. How does these relate to what you guys are wearing? Thx

[yannis]

@Denimhead-0. They are closer to a 634 than any other cuts. Size wise for me, i took the same size as my 634 and the fit was spot on. I see that you are familiar with the 888's. I will take the same size as the 888's of course always considering the actual measurement.

[Mizmazzle]

@Denimhead-0 I find that all my jeans end up with a 33” waist. Including these.

[Denimhead 0]

Good to know. Sounds like I would be safe w 34 or 35. Much appreciated @Mizmazzle and @yannis

[goosehd]

Spot on information! The 822’s are just like a pair of any of your favourite 634’s, 666’s, etc. in 21oz that will stretch with wear and time (waist) and should be treated as such. You should get an 1” or 1.5” stretch in the waist with that wear.

As always, it isn’t an exact science and may vary with how much pressure is exerted on the waistband. Great advice @Mizmazzle @yannis

Thank you
