IH-721-KHA - 9oz Mercerised Selvedge Cotton Slim Tapered Chinos - Khaki

Ah yes, you’re the man Giles!

Why are these one-washed but 717 are unwashed?
-
The first batch of these that we made were in a factory when a large typhoon hit the Okayama Province and the factory flooded, badly. We needed to wash these to remove the floodwater, and we decided that we preferred the look of one washed mercerised chino over that of the unwashed. It also makes sizing a lot simpler. If and when we remake the 717 we will probably one wash those too.

Thanks @Alex!

@keenok You will want to size for comfort in these so I would measure what fits you well using our how we measure guide and factor in no stretch really to be had in this fabric.
Any idea of a restock in the near future??

IH-721-KHA Restock -
I picked up a pair at Brund yesterday. I have an obsession with khaki chinos - I wear them to work quite a lot, and have about four pairs in use already.
I sized up from my usual size 34, and the fit seems spot on. I’ll obviously need to get them hemmed, though.
First impression is that the fabric is very good - should last I lot longer than the other ones I have (all different brands). At the same time they aren’t a lot heavier, and they are definitely “smart” enough for my needs.
If they hold up as expected I could see IH chinos gradually replacing all the others.

So I’ve been using these for a few weeks now, and they live up to my expectations. Great chinos.
My only worry is that bicycling (which is how I get to work) seems to put a lot of strain on the crotch area. I guess it is inevitable given the tight fit and the lack of stretch in the fabric. I’ll probably wait before picking up another pair until I see if these blow up prematurely.
Unless of course they make a pair in burgundy. I’d buy those straight away.
