So do we, Seul.  So do we.

These are unreal do not sleep

[SimonQ.]

so are the longwings.

^yep, can't beat navy duck and #8 shell …

[Simon]

As you can see I've shortened these from the stock 36" inseam. I wanted to shorten these for a single break so I washed them first to get rid of any shrinkage, I can report there isn't any, so no need for anyone else to wash before shortening.

Quick thread colour test on the off cut, original is on the right, the blue I picked up from Giles seemed a bit too bright, so i went with black in the end.

I've kept to the 1 inch hem, original is on the top.

[Finn666]

are these going to fade and get lighter with wear?

normally yes, right?…since they are made out of the same fabric as the 666D or 2526J for example!

[Seul]

So far no fades on my 816s… Was wondering the same... 

[Giles]

They'll all fade.  My blues already are…..

[Finn666]

thanks G.!

this thread needs more fitpics btw.!

short review:

• these are un-fucking-believable! comfortable straight out of the box and that 17oz duck (my first pair of duck bottoms btw.) is just outta this world! i´m in love and finally i have something badass to wear besides denim!
  atm. i´m rocking these triple cuffed…looking forward to get them hemmed though! maybe in march

Anyone had the hem chain stitched? If so, how does it look? Not a lot of decent places to get things altered round these parts…

[Giles]

It looks fine.  I have done it for a lot of people, but have no photos I am afraid…..

[Simon]

I think they would look ok, assuming the cotton matched, which it would if done by G.

[Giles]

Yes, just got loads and loads of super duper colours in…..

[MikeC]

I personally only like G to chainstitch my shit on Unity. He saved my beige IH-6634, due to a botched hem.

[Giles]

Thanks Mike…..
