IHDR-502-OLV - 11oz Cotton Whipcord Cargo Pants - Olive
-
I believe you are making the right choice - plan for both. You will appreciate the "ready to wear" whipcord in the heat of summer and early fall - and the SBG break in would be well timed for late fall winter..

Picked these up about a month ago. Started with the 34 but the top box was way too big, so exchanged for teh 33. The 33 is excellent. I prefer a lower rise in pants, but these work just fine. The material quality and general quality of the components is fantastic. I would expect nothing less. This was my first pair of Iron Heart pants, and they did not disappoint (already had 3 long sleeves which are also fantastic). For reference, 5’9, 165 lbs, small waist and larger quads.

Re: the sideways photos.
1. select to edit your photo and rotate it sideways. Save it.
2. edit it again and then rotate it back vertical. save it.
3. now it will appear correctly when you post.it's a weird and annoying phone glitch.

Weird and annoying for sure, but a relatively easy fix once ya know how. Thanks!

Here’s a quick and dirty back yard pic while the girls walk the dog. I went with a 33 but I think I could have done a 32, 2 sizes down from all my other pants. This was an expensive way to figure out my new measurements in the absence of properly fitting pants in my wardrobe. They should work though. They’re relaxed which I think will be ok. What do you think?

@Matt - I think they look cool as f*ck on you dude. Nice matching blade too - I know nothing about knives FYI , I’d probably get arrested carrying that here in London
I found choosing a size tricky for these due to lack of stretch in the fabric. Im used to the margin for error you get with denim. Luckily I own a pair of tag 33 888s-RE in the eco denim. 32.7” waist new, now at 34” full stretch. They’re a little restrictive around the gut as I have a bit of a beer belly, but not a problem. I went up a tag in the 502s (measuring exactly 35”) as I want NO squeeze around the gut. Might be a gamble, but I’d rather be a tad over than under.
Anyway, I’ll post pics when they arrive. -
It’s Monday, and I’m in love (with these pants). Sorry the photos are shitty, they definitely don’t do the trousers justice. @Matt your sunshine pictures do a much better job conveying the colour and slight shine
These are tag 34, I’m 6”1 and 180lbs. Was toying with a 33 but glad I didn’t. There’s room to manoeuvre but they sit on my hips without needing a belt. It’s pushing 30C here today so too hot for them right now. Praying for cooler weather…

Thanks @neph93 mate! I’m looking forward to seeing how they look with a few other combos, but too hot and humid to bother today. I had 80% RH readout on my dehumidifier this morning, awful. The climate in your neck of the woods sounds nicer to me, but could be a case of the grass always being greener.. Do you still own a pair of these?
I’m surprised how hefty these feel given the 11oz fabric, but guess the double-knees and pockets all add to the weight. I think they’ll be awesome for anything less than 25C so should see almost year round action for me, save for the hottest of days.

@jerkules those are great! It’s too hot in the desert for these at the moment though the humidity is not the issue. I could wear them on cloudy days, in the shade or at night but the sun is brutal out here. I’m from the east coast though so no stranger to oppressive, soul sucking humidity. Single digit humidity is amazing. Great fit! Can’t wait for fall.

@Matt thanks dude, the trousers are absolutely killer and I can’t wait for cooler temps.
Whereabouts in the desert are you? I took a work trip to Albuquerque a couple of years ago in the middle of August. Checking the forecasts before I went, I was totally dismayed that temperatures were in the early 40s (Celsius). Only other time I’d experienced heat like that was in Vietnam a few years previous and I thought I was gonna die. When I arrived in Albuquerque I couldn’t believe how comfortable I was. Spent whole days on foot totally fine. It was skin-tingling in direct sun, but in no way oppressive. I think I could quite enjoy living in such a climate.
