A few cool comparison shots - brand-new on the right, last year's pair from @Giles on the left

Oof. I've been offline for a bit doing other stuff and I missed the purple easy shorts again.

[dinobarnesberlin]

yea ---the purple shorts and the 526 Lefty jacket are BOTH sold out at IH Germany ! Went to look and saw them both gone---the Germans were just waiting!!

Pleased with my purchase.

Size L, normally take a 34 in IH jeans.

Heavy-duty snaps on back pockets is reassuring, as I'm gonna be taking these a music festival in Spain later this week, and out and about around Barcelona. They feel truly pickpocket proof

[Karol]

@T4920 it looks perfect!
Gives me a great hope for a good fit as I also have 34 in IH and went for L with these.

@T4920 Looking good! Have fun in Barca...

Still going strong a year later

[jerkules]

@iammortalcombat awesome, love those Nikes

[Karol]

They finally arrived!!!
And they are bloody amazing!
This is again a case for me when based on the pictures alone it’s impossible to fully convey the quality of the fabric and the craftsmanship.

[Oaktavia]

@Karol I'm glad you finally have a pair buddy. You've been anticipating these for a while now.

@Oaktavia It was a long wait, and originally I was thinking of getting two pairs of IH-725. The IH-729 looked to me a bit flimsy base on the pictures (I could not have been more wrong!). But they were just to long. I was considering hemming them, but at the end of the day I just decided I don't want any hassle. Plus the purple color was growing on me in recent months.
I'm so glad I went in this direction!

[bryaneidins70]

They are great shorts..really pleased with mine and perfect for my holiday at the end of the month.

Do these loosen up in the waist at all? In-between a medium and large and this could be the deciding factor? Cheers

[Alex]

I wouldnt expect them to stretch over time, but as the waist band is elasticated I think you should expect them to give each wear

[T4920]

@doubletee I was bang in the middle of the size recommendation for an L (33 - 36 inch waist) and found them to be a tad looser than I expected (but still very wearable!) Based on our chat in the past, where we discussed sizing when trading shirts, I reckon L would probably suit you best! (Unless you've got small waist compared body size or have lost weight recently)

[Anesthetist]

@Alex your comment mirrors my experience exactly. After a few minutes my mediums get a lot more comfortable.

Thanks everyone much appreciated

[iammortalcombat]

@doubletee mine did a bit. I now use the drawstring.
