801s

806

@Giles I wear them very hard and they are holding up well. I noticed the crotch was going to blow out soon if I didn’t get it reinforced so hopefully that does the trick. I want to wear them for another 7 1/2 months.

Update: Worn hard for 10 weeks at work.
Thinking about a wash/rinse/soak
Any advice?

Hey all, I’ve been wearing these hard at work for 10 weeks and I’m thinking of a wash/rinse. This thread seems more active than the 801 thread so I figured I’d post here too. How are you guys washing/rinsing your ducks? I might try to hold out for longer, but I’ve been working with some nasty materials lately.

@neph93:

That fit though ^

Do you wear IH off the job? You’d rock the 634 cut.

Yeah I really like how these fit.

Not yet, but hopefully soon. I really need some new denim so I’ll check out the 634s. Thanks.

First day wearing my 801s on the job

Big thanks to the IH team for excellent customer service

Appreciate the effort 

@Giles:

With hard wear, yes, they'll stretch a little, but (IMO) as much as denim.

No current plans for denim version.

Ok I just placed my order and I grabbed some hard hat stickers as well to represent on the job site.. Last time I made a purchase I received some stickers, any chance I can get the "hard as duck" sticker this time? I need it!

I own the 806 overalls in duck (love them) and was looking to grab the 801 now that it's summer time. I've seen questions answered about shrinking in the waste after washing (little to none), but I want to know how much the waist will stretch with hard wear so I can size accordingly.

Also, any chance there will double knee denim loggers in the future?

@scooter:

@roffz , mighty fine gear, for any job site. What is your trade ? From the couple of pics I've seen, you've got tin at your feet in one, and an air handling unit in another. With the knife on your hip, I want to guess insulator.?

@scooter you got It! Thanks
