IH-720-KHA - Khaki Cotton Whipcord Work Pants

[Nelson Baboon]

good suggestion. i thought that maybe on a sunday, i might get some interesting responses here. and yes - all of my interactions with them have been great thus far.

@Nelson-Baboon I like to think of the crew as financial consultants. I invest money and they produce returns…very rarely do I ever lose…and when I do it’s my own fault.

@Nelson-Baboon One thing to consider with the whipcord pants is the fact that the fabric will not stretch. While the stretch is something to be factored in when buying denim, these pants will stay where they are.
So if pants that fit you well are 15", and these are 14" they are probably too small. I sized up in these in comparison to what I have in the 634 cut to compensate for the lack of stretch.

yeah. they don't feel like they will stretch. however, they feel ok when they are on, and i actually do intend to lose a few pounds. i guess the practical part of the question boils down to - given the methodology of measuring the waist size, why do these seem to come out to 14" rather than 15" (or actually a bit above, given what the size chart says).

You can not stretch whipcord…

Last restock was APR 23. Any chances of a restock in the coming months?

[Graham]

No plans I am afraid @Choko which sucks because I really want some of these too.

[popvulture]

Ahh man that sucks, was hoping there might be some news when I got the notification there was some activity on this thread.

I hope they come back sometime!

We'll keep trying!

[popvulture]

@Alex so have they just been sort of deprioritized by IH Japan?

[Alex]

@popvulture japan maybe stock about 50% of what we do outside of seasonal lines, I am pretty sure this model was an IHUK request, but I cannot 100% recall, and sometimes things that we do outside of Japan only get less interest than things that are done globally.

Further to the above, whipcord is one of the fabrics that we need to pre-order well before we use it. Every year, Haraki and I guesstimate how many rolls we need about 5 months before we take preorders for FW deck jackets, and if we get it wrong then we have to cut back those orders. It could have been a case of the last time we tried to run them we had used all available whipcord, but again I cannot recall exactly.

[popvulture]

@Alex cool, man — thank you! It's not like I have any shortage of bottoms at the moment, so I'll certainly be ok. I do hope they make it back one of these days, though. Love the fabric, and it's a helluva color. Those pics on the product page with the Wescos look so fucking good!

[Choko]

Thanks for all that info. I shoulda jumped on these when I had the chance!

[Brandrea]

@Graham I’d be a buyer too.
