IH-711 - Selvedge Chinos in Navy Blue and Dark Khaki

[tmg]

@Giles  I know they've only just appeared, but what sort of timescale before you re-run? I realise that I could buy from the stores you mentioned (assuming they had a khaki W36), but I prefer to buy direct from you and I'm not in a rush.

[Giles]

I'm thinking about 10-12 weeks…...

Perfect, early Xmas present to myself [emoji3]

Got in early (and lucky) on navy and dark khaki, can't wait for them to arrive! More color choices please =).

is this heavier or lighter in weight than the other khaki IH make?

[rocket]

@Giles:

11oz

@Giles:

1. I would say about 13oz.

this one is 11oz, the 707 is about 13oz, so slightly lighter…

Hows the length? I need all I can get. Are these going to shrink any and is the 38 waist a true 35" inseam?

[Giles]

"One-washed so no shrinkage expected"

And we measure stuff when it gets here, there is some variance as all our stuff is made by human beings.

[Graeme]

Are these in the same fabric as the IHJ-34 chino chore coats?

[Giles]

yessir

[Graeme]

Thanks Giles.

Will these stretch out much in the waist with wear?

[Giles]

A little, they are a twill weave which is designed to stretch/mould….

[Broark]

Got mine in the post yesterday, really nice fabric and the cut through the thighs/legs is perfect.
Except the waist is a bit on the snug side, not sure if I should try and stretch them out or what.

[Giles]

It's a twill, so should stretch a bit…...

[Broark]

Might just be a sign that I need to lose a little bit of weight!
Think I'll keep 'em and make 'em work.

[Giles]

Just done a swapsy with one of my retailers.  36 and 38 inbound in both colours…..

[simmosn]

Liking these so far. Especially with the 21

[Broark]

Well I think I am going to have to return these after all.
Something about the waist is just tighter than any other IH pants that I have.
Bummer, I but hope someone else will enjoy them.

I got my hands on both the khaki and the navy versions of these today. They are fantastic. The material is comfortable and looks very sharp. They are being washed now to see if they shrink at all before I have them hemmed. I'm very impressed and happy I was able to snag both in a 36. The only thing I would change… The buttons. I really like the back pocket snap on the 707 and the beefier button they have up front as well. Other than that, they are perfect as far as I'm concerned.

Update: the navy pair has been washed and dried. Despite being one-washed, they shrank 0.5 inch in the waist and 1.4 inches in the inseam. Some of the original sheen is gone. They look and feel great.
