IH-816 - 17oz Duck Work Pants
-
Urbanwoodsman, who's doing the tapering in Manhattan? Assuming your having it done there?
Loren in Greenpoint, BK
Jean maker but he does repairs and tailoring. -
Hmmm Thanks.
Stanton St. Tailors destroyed a pair of pbj's on me so now i'm reluctant to have it done again. Id love to see some pics of how your 816's turned out.Will do. Should have them back Friday. You live in the city?

These are tempting me but I'm resisting so far. What I couldn't possibly resist is a pair of these in the 21oz. superblack denim.

Hello,
to everyone I'm new to this forum and this is my first post.
I have a “Beatle Buster“ IhxB01 in size W34 which I really like. Now I'm thinking about buying a “17oz Japanese Cotton Duck Work Pants” IH-816 but not sure which size will fit me.
The Beatle Buster was a bit tight at the beginning, but after a few days it stretched and now it fits perfect.
The sizing table says the Beatle Buster has a 83.8” waist and the IH-816 has a 89.0“ waist (in size 34). But my beatle buster stretched to almost 89”. So should I take a size 34 or will the cotton stretch like the 21oz denim?
Regards

i havent checked yet cuz I'm on the phone…what does the other measurements (thigh) say compared to your busters?
if it isn't that much of a difference I may would go for a 33 in your case, cuz the duck stretches as well!...as a note:
the above is just a guess cuz I haven't looked at the measurement charts, so if anyone says sth. different it could also be true...
let me check the chart right quick!... -
the hem done by IHUK:
love them as they are nice & relaxed. when i want slimmer duckies i do my leftfield joints or 666s
will get you images in February or so Finn when I'm done with the little tour thing. apologies as i don't keep up like i should

size 34!
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
Yo Rafa, so you've had these for about a month now. How much would you say these have stretched in the thigh? I'm looking to pull the trigger, and I think I am in a similar situation as you were in. The 34's waist is perfect, but the thighs are too slim. The 36's thighs are perfect, but the waist is too large. I'm not a fan of the ultra-slim look with my build, and am almost considering waiting for a restock of the 36, and then having the waist brought in. I know everyone is saying these stretch pretty well though. Any help is appreciated because I can't make up my mind.

finn, do you plan on hemming these? i think it would really make them look a lot nicer . . . the front pockets not sitting flat are also bothering me.

haven'tworn them too often, but i try to throw up some measurements and new fitpics over the weekend and yeah, I'm planning on letting these hem AND taper, to make them look a tad cleaner from knee down! just need to find the time to do so…
what's up with yours MM, how do you like'em so far?I had the blue ones as well, but returned them, since I was feeling the brown ones a bit more! both colors are dope though...

How much would you say these have stretched in the thigh?
sry for the late reply mate, but here it is…
the thigh measurement of my tagged 34" waist pair is: 34cm = 13.40inch
so going after the size-chart, it looks like the thighs stretched 0.4inch...now i don´t have made any measurements prior to wearing them, so i can´t really say how much they´ve stretched, but i think you should be good with a 34" tagged pair!
