The 816's are really a great cut. Seriously twist my arm so I don't get the navy and khaki to match with my dark browns. If you're desperate for an arm twist, you may find that the navy ones collect and display lint/fluff/pet hair like nobodies business. Can't speak for this model of pants specifically but I've found this on other navy canvas pants I have. That pig mask guy on the IH forum could probably confirm this if you wanted. Seriously, though...that pig mask guy...haha...(insert eyes wide open staring in disbelief emoji). |

Heavy dark khaki pants would work, something like the 816s. The 816's are really a great cut. Seriously twist my arm so I don't get the navy and khaki to match with my dark browns. I'm contemplating the same. The coyote brown ones are so sexy.... I wore them today finally for the first time, un-hemmed, with my new BR boots, and got some nice compliments. I want the other colors now, but I promised myself that I'm down-sizing the wardrobe. #FirstWorldProblems |

I want to pick up the dark brown ones next for sure, have the Khakis already. |

BTW fellers, just an FYI the 707 "Weapon Trouser Pants" are the same fit as the 816's. Just an FYI on that. If you like the fit of those 816's then you like the fit of the 707 Work Chinos as well.

I wish they would mirror it on some jeans |

I don't have any 634's, but I feel the same-ish about my 666's

Just a little update on my Waffle shirt.
I've wahed and dried it 3 times now, resulting in the arms shrinking in length an inch or so. Also moved the cuff buttons in for a tighter cuff. The collar also shrunk an inch (not great but much better!).
This is a shirt that with wash shrinks but as its worn throughout the day will get fagged out (All worn out. Has been stretched so many times that it has lost all elasticity. Def. for all you young guys who didn't live through the 80's)

I just did a big 6 shirt buy through Rakuten...
IHTL-1504n (White and navy)
IHTL-1501 (Black)
VARI-T01 (White) x4
The VARI-T01 are 7.5oz t-shirts made by Iron Heart for Vari.
I also picked up an IHSW-11 through IHUK for $135 shipped.

I'd probably pass out from claustrophobia. I'm getting anxiety just from looking at the pics.  |

At only $40 each, I took the shot in the dark. Could be a great come-up... Especially for me, as I've been waiting and waiting for plain colored, no pocket IH t-shirts

Also, it looks like they intentionally pulled the shirt backwards to appear like it fits that scrawny Japanese guy better... Notice that you also can't see the seam that should be on top of his traps

Did you size your normal shirt size, or down? |

The one that I have for sale that doesn't fit is the one I sized down on which I would not recommend. If you went with your normal shirt size you should be good. |

Ok, good. If they are slim, they will be perfect for layering under westerns

Notice that you also can't see the seam that should be on top of his traps Common practice in photoshoots for clothing. My son told me about all the BS that goes on to make stuff look nothing like what you get when you open your package! |

Got my IH-634S in just 4 days from Japan. Although 21oz, they just feel really nice, thick enough to feel substantial, but not OTT. The beige weft is nicely unusual too. Even my wife said they looked good on me, so they must have something special.
I only wish I'd gone straight for this instead of wasting hundreds on other less satisfactory indigos.

I could have skipped a lot of lucky and levis...then gap selvedge....then PRPS and jean shop....then like 7 pairs of Gustins that I never wear....right to IH and samurai. |
