@Anesthetist A2 on you looks fantastic! Sad to have missed that one.

…although I am glad I nabbed this one before the ‘bomb cyclone’ hit

Thanks @Graham for picking out this great shirt for me. forum got me wear’n double denim

IHM-34 but done in the 11-13oz serge: black and grey colorways

@68degreesorless amazing interesting to see that with wear and frequent washing, the sulfer based dyes over the 12oz indigo-white turn to a smokey blue. Really nice to be reminded that. I remember seeing something similar in 2008-2009 of worn IH OD and jumping on the bandwagon then

@KA56 See IND thread:
@Giles said in IH-829-IND - 21oz Serge Work Pants - Indigo:

It's a twill, it'll stretch 2-3cms. One of the reasons that denim (which is a twill) and twills in general have been historically used in jeans/workwear, is that they strech and mold...

Basically it is impossible for a twill weave not to stretch....

@Gavin666 yeah. I’ll run under fresh water in tub midst draining then refilling tub. You want to get soap out of the garment. FWIW, I only go through this tub washing/soaking malarkey while garment iscrocking. Afterward I just turn inside out and run in machine (low to no spin). Might think harder about it if you’re washing SBG (or something else known to marble) or/else wabi sabi.

@Gavin666 Bath soak then ring and hang dry. Careful where it drip dry as it may bleed indigo (esp when denim young) ️

@JoshC Thanks a bunch. These are en route to you now.

@JoshC Thanks so much for reaching out about this. I just got my returns label to ship my other repair items to you. Plan was to get this to UPS today, so I’ll throw these in there as they were just washed.

I have all the colors. My green pair is by far most worn. Although all three have noticeably faded. My issue with them is the robustness of the fabric and general construction. The stitching seems like cotton (not poly blend) and in places has given way far earlier than I would have liked. I wonder if these can be made more robust and/or if the design could use a bit more of that IH wow-factor. I’d happily pay more for something I can use longer and fade more before throwing in the towel or having to do extensive repairs.
