IH-816-OLV - Olive Green Whipcord Work Pant

@neph93:

@youwinatlife:

was considering getting a pair and indigo dyeing so i can wear them to work.
thoughts?

…why would you want to? There are some duck 816's that would do better indigo dyed.

because i want indigo whipcord.

Then I guess you'd be best to try with the upcoming grey rather than these. Start with a lighter base. But I repeat, the tightness of the whipcord weave would make such an endeavour very challenging.

Maybe we can expect a navy version in the future (I hope so)

^ navy would be a logical choice for sure

[sabergirl]

I am still hoping for black! (I know, I'm a broken record, at this point.)

If the existing olive and brown and the upcoming grey sell well, then we will add navy and then black….....

My brown, back of taxi......

UPCOMING GREY!..

UPCOMING GREY!..

They're happening!.. I'm so happy

With The Piglet. Best pants in the world.

thanks for the thoughts, all. upcoming possible maybe navy sounds perfect, but it also sounds like i need to buy an olive just to make it happen. on top of that, the organically grown marketing team of everyone posting photos with their OLVs is a force to be reckoned with.

How does the whipcord feel in comparison to duck or denim? The 816-DD were some of my favorite pants I've had.

I think it is more similar to the chinos than to duck or denim.

It's a lot softer/smoother to the touch than duck….

I'm sold, just ordered them.

Good man.  You'll love them, then you'll want to order the grey ones when they drop as well.

Yeah Giles is right about the feel of the fabric.  It's similar in feel to the black sueded duck canvas chinos by Left Field if you happen to own a pair of those.

Are these too hot for summer?

I think so.  Although I've never actually tried wearing them out and aboit in the summer.

I wore mine regularly this summer in Vermont.

What makes those work pants rather than chinos? Fabric weight?

[Giles]

Chino is a fabric, not a style of pant.  Pants made out of Chino cloth tend to get referred to as Chino's:
