Fit of the size 3 on a 32 waist for those interested, I've cinched both sides

Those fatigue pants look great

Are those the slim or regular fit?

[jerkules]

@GraemeE hey thanks, these are the regular! They’re quite a bit more relaxed through the whole leg than I am used to, so it’s taken a while to adjust, but my god they are comfortable to wear. I’m a 34 in most IH jeans and these are Orslow size 4.

@jerkules i just got a pair of the slim ones second hand from Pal/PopV

Its definately taking some getting used to since my legs are fairly used to 16oz+ (especially in winter) but so far I'm super impressed

I just got my second pair of fatigues and need to hem both.

Wondering if I should take into self edge for chain stitch or just have a tailor do a standard job

Anyone have any opinions either for functional or aesthetic reasons?

I had the guys at IHUK do a chain stitch hem on my 735 work pants…kind of spoiled me on all other hem types for pants. Just seems more robust? But that could be the kool-aid talkin’ and I’m sure either one would work fine Also I’m no help

Chain stitch will add that subtle “roping” effect to the hem, where a traditional lock stitch will just be straight and clean; nothing wrong with that on chinos/fatigues. However, a chain stitch can make them feel a touch elevated, and give your ego a little tickle for the little detail…

Chain stitch is less robust to my understanding. Looks better though.

@NickD ahh…I was just assuming. Thanks for the info. I guess visually it looks stronger because of the amount of stitches?

[GraemeE]

To clarify i typically have a chain on all my denim I just haven't ever had it done on any fatigue, twill or chino type pants

[SKT]

@GraemeE haha…mine was a standard hem all along. Never listen to me.

This is why we can't have nice things

Today I found out that OrSlow make a shirt out of the fatigue pant fabric! Anyone own one?

[sophisto000]

@AdamJ
I think there’s a sz 3 available in the Buy/Sell board.
Too lazy to link, as it’s not mine…

@sophisto000 I thought it was a bit too niche to search so didn't bother. Cheers!
