IH-816 - 17oz Duck Work Pants

[zatenm]

Almost 3 years old now, worn once or twice a week

The 816s are my favourite non denim bottoms of all times - a (relatively) hidden jewel of the IH line-up IMO

Just got mine a couple days ago … Glad to scoff up a pair before the khaki goes bye bye ...

@zatenm how often do you wash them?

[zatenm]

@Haddtoo 555 quite infrequently, maybe 3 times a year

[Haddtoo 555]

Thanks

Thinking of using these for work…..which means I would have to wash them a lot....not sure how they will hold onto their color.

I wear my navy pair 2 or 3 days each week for work, and they're washed regularly - colour is good, with slight fading at the higher wear areas, i.e. pockets, belt loops. I'll try to get some pics up tomorrow.

Just to add, I'll be buying another pair of the navy, and probably a beige pair when they appear in May

Wear pics - these are washed frequently, usually every 1 to 2 weeks, and have been continuously worn since I bought them in July last year

Hard to capture the colour, they are actually navy but look more black in the pics

[Haddtoo 555]

Thanks for the pics…...those are holding up well

[tmg]

Well my work is mostly office based, but I do get to spend time in and around some very large bits of equipment, and they've been resistant to scuffing in that respect

Those look great TMG!!

Restock - all 3 colours inbound

@Giles any chance of this being made in black duck or any other color? They are by far my most worn non-denim.

We do more than enough iterations for me to cope with at the moment…..

[Haddtoo 555]

Don't know how you do it old chap….but thanks

Hahaha, alright!

Good restock of Navy Blue.  Small restock of Navy.  That was the last run of those colours…..

How does the fit compare to the IH-666D a.k.a. Best Jeans Ever Made?

[Giles]

Check out the size charts…..Everything else is subjective....

But the 666D are 5 pocket jeans and the 816 are work pants, completely different animals....

I haven't worn the 666D, but have the 666XHS and 666L and the 816.  For me, although I like both, the 816 is way more comfortable.  As Giles suggests, check the size charts.  I have both a 33 brown and a 32 navy.  The waist will stretch a bit, but I prefer the 33.  The cut has room in the top block and thigh, but with a moderate taper below the knee.  I think it is a really great cut.
