IH-822-IND - Double Knee 21oz Selvedge Denim Engineer's Pants - Indigo

[SKT]

@Kasi just checked my 666 jeans and none have the denim wrapped reinforcement. Some have a blue colored twill like fabric but not denim. Maybe older pairs have them?

[Matt]

I’ve had a few pairs and have SII currently. Never had that on them.

[Kasi]

666 had a extra layer. Think it was 25oz sold them on

[Giles]

What we did with the original 666 was to add a layer of bias binding tape. That got carried over to many of the 666 derivatives.......Not sure what else we put it one....

It is not the same as the 822 pocket construction...

I'm noticing the left leg has an extra stitch line above the knee in the product photos that wasn't there on previous releases....

edit: @Graham says its not on the actual pants and crisis averted!!

[Daniel San]

@Mizmazzle
were do you see that ?

[Giles]

It has been fixed

[Blueband]

Do Mondays release sizes match the previous ones?

These are dropping on Monday so I thought you guys might like some pictures to tide you over the weekend. I’ve had them just over a year now and they get a lot of wear. I have 5 washes on them and there is the start of a crotch blowout. Might send them to @JoshC soon and let him work his magic. As with most of my pictures, they look better in person.

@Denman-John they look so good! I think the 21oz really comes into its own with a few washes…the blues start to shine. That’s interesting about the crotch wear. I think mine will be my first pair to need a repair there as well. I think it might be because the thighs are a bit larger and there is more fabric to cause friction. Either way, they look fantastic! And thanks for posting!

[Denman John]

@SKT When I saw your pictures from a few days ago, I noticed the same fading in the crotch area. Maybe it’s due to the extra layer of denim restricting movement in that area? I don’t know, but I do know these are amazing jeans that I’ll keep alive for many years to come. They just look better the more you wear them!

[Mizmazzle]

@Denman-John great googly moogley! I’ll be ready to pounce on these.

[HalfPastNever]

Do these have the same measurements as the last drop?

[FlavourFade]

@HalfPastNever measurements always get updated with restock and even if there's no difference IHUK will tell us

[Giles]

Yeah, it sort of makes sense to publish actual sizing

[HalfPastNever]

@Giles yeah before the drop or during? I've been waiting like 2 years for these to come back I refuse to miss it haha

[Blueband]

Can any previous owners/ wearers of these provide any info regarding stretch or lack of it on this fabric. My wife and I are after grabbing a surprise pair for our son, as he's been after a pair for over a year. Looking at the current size chart he seems to come in between 36/ 38 so we are wondering to come in slightly under or over.

[Mizmazzle]

@Blueband the waist is going to stretch up to an inch. Maybe a bit more if under enough pressure.

For me, my jeans all seem to settle at around 33” in actually waist measurement. I’ll be looking at Tag 31 which looks to have a waist of 32”. With a couple days of wear that will stretch out to 33” or even a bit more if I mange to gain a bit of weight etc.

I also wear a belt and that helps keep my jeans from stretching more than I’d like them to.

Also, this 21oz denim won’t shrink with a cold wash line dry. Meaning, if you wash them right away they won’t get any smaller. Once they stretch out with some wear, they will return to their original size when new. Then stretch again with more wear.

I prefer to start my jeans a tad snug and have them stretch to fit. They stretch easily and it’s not much of a struggle to get an excellent fit. Others prefer to start at their actual waist size out of the bag. All personal preference.
