IH-720-OLV - Olive Cotton Whipcord Work Pants

neph93

I love these, I want these, but fear 36 would be too small and 38 too big.

There are four pairs of W36 and four pairs of W38. I’d give pretty short odds on there being one pair amongst them with suitably divergent measurements that would work for you. Get on the blower

@Giles @Seul @neph93 thanks for the info, confirming what I expected. That said of assessed and evaluated a couple of points a) the measurements of a pair of Stevensons overalls officer pants I own with similar measurements, and a 38 should be ok…b) Just how much do I value my testicles if my good wife finds out I bought another item of clothing this month. I'll have to leave it to the Norns to decide whether there are 38s left anywhere in a few weeks

These pants look beautiful though

@Giles hey thanks for the response. I believe you got a winner with the 816 and I’m am obsessed with it as I have said before in this forum (I have 8 pairs in various fabrics) the new name had me a tad nervous ️️

I've got one of these on the way. The thigh is just a tad slimmer than I'd prefer, but it's more likely than not that it'll work out. Considering how great this color goes with black and brown, I'm really hoping that it fits well.

Due to the time difference, and my fear that this would sell out supah quick, I was up at 2AM corresponding with Adam and measuring pants in dim light to make sure I got a fit that would work

^ dedication right there. But also a lot of fun I’d imagine.

Took me a while to get these hemmed locally, and now I bring you this terrible picture, but I assure you that the pants are epic!

@Paul9221 great to see pics in the wild. They look very good and fit you great. I too would like a pair but I believe I can relax as my size is gone

They do look great in the wild indeed!

Anyone pairing these up with engineer boots? I’d like to be the hem seems like it would be too narrow.

neph93

@Bfd70 I wear engineer boots with a slimmer hem than these. But if you are a small size it may be marginal.

Yeah, 28or 29 so there isn’t much wiggle room.

I can see that. The size based proportions of a boot shaft won’t track with the changes in hem width. I guess which kind of Engineer you wear will make a difference. I feel like I can get away with a slimmer calf and hem over Engineers with a slimmer last or tapered toe like Wesco’s MP. But a true boss toe requires a wider legged jean. That is a personal thing though.
