IH-816DD - Double Indigo Rope Dyed Canvas Work Pants

[deanclean]

Soaked my 816DD's for the first time today to give them a refresh. I think this is the first time I haven't had to weigh down a pair of pants while soaking!

Looks like a cold soak @deanclean ?

Have you measured them pre-soak and are you planning on measuring them post?
That would be immensely helpful as mine are a bit tight around the thighs and I'm dreading to soak/wash them for fear of not fitting into them anymore

I gave mine a Lukewarm Soak. I had about 1 cm shrinkage length and wide wise..

[T.J.]

But they will stretch out again a bit

[deanclean]

I measured before and I am most concerned about the waist. The are a 36 and fit perfect. The shrunk during the soak but when they were wet I put a spreader in the waist to keep them at 36 as they dry

Very helpful , thanks indeed @thomas01 and @deanclean [emoji106]

Not always one to leave things to the last minute… well actually i am but it usually forces me to do some of my best work. Giles wanted some updated shots of his 816-DD's before he flies off to Japan and he's leaving tomorrow! Hope you enjoy!

Great pics Sam

[Aetas]

Yes indeed @Sam

[superfuzz]

Wow, I think the fit on these won't work for me, but these pics have probably sold me on getting a pair of 666DD when I retire my 666Ds.

Properly stunning evo & really great pics @Sam

Glad I already got a pair, These pics would make me get one otherwise.

My sentiments exactly @Max Power

[deanclean]

Slowly but surely I'm getting some evo on these. I pretty much live in them

[zatenm]

Fast fader this duck.. You won't be waiting too long IMO [emoji106]

[deanclean]

Ya certain parts fade quite quick. The folded part of the cuff was almost instant. These trousers are awesome though eh?

[zatenm]

^couldn't agree more! These are a solid daily alternative to the standard jeans IMO.. Wear in good health [emoji482]

[Max Power]

I love my pair as well. I try not to fade them as they make pretty good decent Office Pants. But the folded cuffs, the pocket openings and some other Areas got pretty much White within a few wears. Can't wait to see where they end up. And if I could afford it I would still chop one pair to chickenlegs. They're so roomy in the top block.

I chopped one pair to chickenlegs last year. Everything above 30 Degrees was a torture 

[Max Power]

I rarely get above 25 degrees here, but I can figure that they don't breathe very well.
