IH-717-KHA - 9oz Mercerised Selvedge Cotton Chinos - Khaki

Mikhail

Thanks a lot!
But I'm afraid that they can shrink a lot in the Thigh volume if washed in a washing machine.

@Mikhail So you don’t want them to shrink? Are you asking how to care for them and not make them shrink?

Mikhail

No, I want them to shrink everywhere except this place Thigh

goosehd

@Mikhail You may need to email the IH Crew for care advice and to ensure that you have sized correctly: shop@ironheart.co.uk

Maybe someone can chime in and give you some shrinktest result or so. In the end when they see hot water they will shrink.. nothing you can do about that. Only wat to avoid that is to NEVER wash and only do some cold soaking. Or.. try another pair of trousers that has been washed and sanforized:) that’s my 2 cents man

@manufc10 said in IH-717 - Khaki Selvedge 9oz Mercerised Cotton Chinos:

Some pre and post measurements for those interested.

Pre
-waist: 35.5"
-thigh: 13"
-Inseam: 36"
-hem: 8.8"

Post (warm soak, light agitation, machine dried on medium heat)
-waist: 34"
-thigh: just over 12.75"
-inseam: 34.75"
-hem: 8.5"

Here is a prior shrink test on this exact pair of pants.

@Alex Saw your post in the 727 thread. Will these make a comeback for summer? Never was happy with the 731 cut, so I'm looking for an alternative.

Alex

@tody hoping to have them by June

@tody the 777 is working for you in the UHR right? If yes 721 should fit the bill. Really happy with my navy 721s

tody

@Tago-Mago Thanks for the heads up. I think i prefer my summer trousers a bit wider than that. I have 3 (three!) of the whipcord work pants (720), and this cut here should be pretty similar. I'm willing to wait

How's the wrinkles on these?

Alex

@webmal i don't find them to wrinkle easily, but they hold creases around the knees and top block

Hi does anyone know if the IH-717 will return in black or navy? It has been a while so I assume not. Info appreciated.

Alex

@twheelersmith we will try to, yes. It's taken me a couple of years to manage to get the Khaki back into production, so don't hold your breath, but I'll keep trying
