IH-705 - Ultra Heavy Selvage Serge Cargo Pants - Brown & Olive Green

[derivative666]

^ you are going to shit when you see them

[MikeC]

I just got these and I'm super impressed. It's exactly what I was hoping for, a heavy alternative to denim. I'll post some fit pics after they settle. I got a waist 34, hemmed to 32.5.

[MikeC]

23oz Serge taped pockets, that's a nice fucking detail….

[MikeC]

These pants are seriously heavy. After wearing these, my vulcans feel like Levi's. I also did a scratch test on a scrap, but it would really fade. It got super shiny. I have a feeling these will soften up ridiculously by next winter.

[MikeC]

These also keep there shape amazingly well.  It feels a little stiffer than the flagship 21oz.

welcome to the club MikeC, they are impressive aren't they? These pants put a smile on my face everytime I wear em (and also just looking at em).

[MikeC]

My fit. I've worn them about 5 times. Love these shits. They are a waist 34, chopped to 32.5.

[MikeC]

FYI, this fabric behaves like cotton duck (per G's advice), so when you wash and dry, do it delicately. If you don't, you will get white fades on the fabric. I washed and dried mine twice and on the second dry, it made the marks.  It's nothing big though, they will wear off with a few months wear.

Looks great on you Mike C. Thanks for the advice, i haven't washed mine yet.

I actually didn't believe they would fade that much, but after only 15-20 days of wear, i see the first signs.

Never thought my love for denim would find competition, but these sure changed that.

Man, I'm considering these in brown…you're not helping, MikeC!

[davito]

Go for em Joe, my current top three pants, probably one of my all time fav Top Five rated imho. Get a lot of attention and even people ask me about em, telling me how nice they are. When they touch em you always see a smile on their faces

^ NICE OUTFIT D! 

[Qinhan]

Aero breaking in nicely there.

[Anesthetist]

I like them Mike, they make me remember when all I wore were cargos. Great fit.

[bushmonkey]

Hey Mike
Just wondering if you noticed any shrink when you washed them?  Did they go in the drier?

[Snowy]

Great shot davito! Maybe they're smiling because they're getting to touch you ;). Next Level.

The olives are on my list, somewhere :).

[joesaintjohn]

Mike, how are these versus the reverse out satins?

[MikeC]

Ridiculously heavy. The reverse cotton satin feels like half the weight.  You probably won't need the 705 for your weather. If you want some serge cargoes, 12oz-14oz serge cargoes are coming out in the spring.  704s also don't hold shape like the 705s.

[MikeC]

Bush Monkey, I got zero in the waist & inseam and 0.3in in the thigh, knee & hem.
