IH-888D - 17oz Duck Medium/High Rise Tapered Cut Jeans - Brown
-
These are super good pants, and I'm pleasantly surprised how they form to your body, like the 21 oz denim (my only other Iron Hearts). For sizing, definitely go up in waist size. I ordered a tag 34 that was listed as 34.6" and they were more like 33. Then I ordered a tag 35 that was listed as 35.5" and more like 34 in reality. The smaller ones I'll give to my son, and the 35 I'll see if my tailor can expand the waist a bit.

@Transporter that’s a pretty big variation, I think the discrepancy is in measuring methods. IH has a particular way. Hope this helps. https://www.ironheart.co.uk/content/how-we-measure-bottoms

Are you measuring like IH does? That got me with my first pair. Literally my only complaint about anything IH. Not a fan of the way they measure waists.
But hey, it’s a quibble. I’ll be roasting my ass in 95 degree weather tomorrow biking in to work wearing something IH. Maybe I’ll put the 25oz on haha.
-
@WhiskeySandwich That is possible. I measured them using my 888s as a guide.

@drewfonse Haha, that's what I need to do with these ducks! I'm hoping to get 1/2" or so stretch and they'll be perfect.

How do these do in warm weather? @Mizmazzle any thoughts? And does anyone do button down / business casual with these?
Thinking about picking up these or 9 oz chinos. I think the chinos would be cooler (less hot) but I like these better

@natefreezy I just got mine a couple weeks ago, down here in Mexico we have been around the 34º to 38º C, and no problem at all. I can wear 21oz with this weather but the 17oz Duck are for sure lighter and very comfortable.

Finally got around to a photo.

These ducks get the krispiest combs ever. The fabrics is great. Didn’t think it would break in like this. Formed much better than expected.

@natefreezy they do really well in warm weather. Not sure which would be better the chinos or the ducks, but I know you won’t regret using the ducks for warm weather scenarios
