IH-888D - 17oz Duck Medium/High Rise Tapered Cut Jeans - Brown

[cityofdelusion]

@Alex Any idea if these could be "overdyed" to another color (e.g. dark brown)? I'm interested if the fabric would accept the dye.

[Alex]

In theory i think it would be possible but I wouldnt think it would take dye as well as denim

[cityofdelusion]

@Alex Thank you for your reply. I'm currently looking for a pair of pants that I can dye dark brown and will consider your point when making my decision. Basically, I was thinking about getting a second pair of 888D to dye those in dark brown since I would only have to go one or two shades darker rather than changing the color of the pants entirely which is riskier to do in general. Also considering other factors such as what is the most comfortable fabric to wear, selvedge, breathability etc.

@cityofdelusion Whatever you decide to run your experiment on, please share it!

Hell yeah @WhiskeySandwich
All the duck action made me want to wear mine today too. I usually wear them when I’m fishing and in the backcountry. But love how they look with the IH sneakers.

[WhiskeySandwich]

@Mizmazzle very nice!

Had to get a second pair of 888 ducks the fit is just me and I love the duck canvas best in the business very happy

Thought I’d share a pic of my new pair of 888 ducks. Loving them so far!

@WhiskeySandwich makes me want to quack non-stop! What superb wear you’ve given them!

The current run somehow just didn't fit me right, but I managed to find a barely used pair from the 2022 run on ebay, and they're perfect. Still need a hem, because I have the shortest legs know to man (I'm like 5'11'' but take a 29'' inseam!), but super happy with them.

One question: the pocket bags are black on this pair, which is kind of neat. Was that something done in the past? If I'm remembering right, the current run pair that I tried on and returned had white pocket bags.

[WhiskeySandwich]

@schraiber looks good man. With brown duck I have no preference on pocket bag color, but for some reason with jeans I kinda think the bags should match the weft. Really wish my sbg had black bags, ib too…

These have been solid faders. Slowly will get phased out as the weather cools down. Preferring denim in the cool morning temps

@Mindfulbiscuit excellent! what's going on here tho? home dyed?

[DeeDee85]

@WhiskeySandwich I was thinking that? They look so dark!

[Mindfulbiscuit]

@WhiskeySandwich no just the iPhone in bad lighting

[Mindfulbiscuit]

I thought the same iPhone struggles to show the correct colour on the new ducks but you get my drift

[Mizmazzle]

I love the color duck evolves into. That light dusty brown it becomes is so cool.

@Mindfulbiscuit that’s a great comparison shot. Love to see how they can evolve
