IH-721-NAV - 9oz Mercerised Selvedge Cotton Slim Tapered Chinos - Navy

It'll be a few months I am afraid. We have only just approved the colour…..Luckily, we do not have to weave the fabric, just get it dyed.....
That's interesting and prompts two thoughts:
-
I assume that will overdye the selvedge ID? Bet that'll look cool
-
I assume this is not garment dying (which is interesting to think about for chinos and such)

No. We made a shit-ton of neutral coloured cotton chino fabric with polyester selvedge ID. That allows us to relatively easily release different colour iterations whilst retaining the red/white selvedge ID (because, of course, polyester does not take up the dye).

It's not, we dye the rolls of fabric

Hadn't seen that these existed before! I was in need of a nice pair of chinos, so glad they were in stock inmy size! Looking forward to these arriving!
-
Sized up one from my 555 denim size, paired here with a 6 oz loopwheel pocket tee, Alden whiskey PTBs, and a custom shirt by my wife with linen shifting fabric from Tesuti fabrics.

Nice fit, and the shirt looks great - that's not an easy sewing job.
I picked up a pair of these a couple of weeks ago. They're perfect for work, so I recklessly ordered black and olive too. My first chinos. I love being able to stand around with my hands in my pockets!
For anyone looking at these, it might be worth noting that they always look a bit shiny in photographs. IRL that slight sheen is quite subtle.

Waist looks big on these chinos. Are they larger than a 32 in their jean size?
-
Also, could you wear boots with the hem?
-
@jschmid hi… the waist is what it is. Different iterations in different materials come up in different sizes. A 555 cut in 21oz won’t have the same waist as a 555 in UHR. So go by measurements and not tagged size.
As for the boots, it will depend on the boot, shaft and size, and the hemming. I could make these work with engineers at my hem length, but it would be close.
You can do the sums to work it out.
