IH-801 Cotton Duck Double Knee Loggers

Yessir…...

I own the 806 overalls in duck (love them) and was looking to grab the 801 now that it's summer time. I've seen questions answered about shrinking in the waste after washing (little to none), but I want to know how much the waist will stretch with hard wear so I can size accordingly.

Also, any chance there will double knee denim loggers in the future?

@roffz  duck will stretch but not as much as a denim weave. It varies from person to person and depends on wear patterns and how snug they are to start but I’d say no more than an inch on average, often less.

With hard wear, yes, they'll stretch a little, but (IMO) as much as denim.

No current plans for denim version.

Ok I just placed my order and I grabbed some hard hat stickers as well to represent on the job site.. Last time I made a purchase I received some stickers, any chance I can get the "hard as duck" sticker this time? I need it!

Update: Worn hard for 10 weeks at work.
Thinking about a wash/rinse/soak
Any advice?

Personally, I would soak them a bit to get the excess crud off them, then just wash them like normal pants.  The duck is meant to take a beating, after all, so it shouldn't need babying.  Perhaps it would be prudent to turn them inside out, to minimize the potential for white crease marks, but that's about it.

Wash them 8 weeks ago. Haha.

Chain Stiching- First Roping

Back in this place, steel production @steelworker  started around 1850.
Now it is a Land Mark in my neighborhood.
I am standing in front of a vintage converter from 1954. Weight is more than 50t, placed on a little island and nearly unremoveable in the future! But Special Steel production seems to be the future in my area….

When I was born I hatched from an egg similar to that one.
