Pants, denim, shore (modified)
I'll have to admit that I too, wasn't completely sure about these when I first saw them, but I'm very glad that I decided to give them a try anyway.
Made out of the same lovely white-selvedge 11oz 301 "Okinawa" denim that the Liberty Issue CPO is made out of, they make for a very nice and light pair of summer pants.
Sizing, soaking and shrinkage:
I took a 32, in comparison my 7161's are a 34 and a roomy fit, my 7163's a nice and relaxed 33 and my 7161md's a 32 for a slimmer fit. I wanted these to fit on the slim side and since the lace-up back allows for some playing with how they fit I'd figure I'd just go for a 32 again.
They are a little on the short side on me, but that's a reoccurring theme for me (6,3) and I can deal with it, I actually think it looks great with these as they're summer jeans for me anyway.
Soaked these with the hottest water from the tap and line dried them.
They were worn for about a week before I took these pics as they're in rotation with some other jeans.
On to the pictures,
(note the added back pockets, more about those later)
Fit pics:
I really like the slim fit with a slight anti-fit seat but with a fitted top block as opposed to the hipflare normally associated with an anti-fit seat.
Personally I think the pattern cutting on these is amazing, especially considering how little seams they have. The legs are full wrap-around (so no outseam!) and have a selvedge inseam.
Inside front, using chambray for the pocketbags and lining.
Buttons are the same anchor ones also used on the CPO, and a denim close up on the right
This shows the interesting stitching on the side quite well, as well as the side pocket
(I'm thinking of stitching down the corners of the side pocket to make them stick out a little less)
front pocket selvedge & selvedge beltloops
(L) Christophe hand stained the side and lace-up back eyelets on this pair indigo, making them blend in at first, but as the colour will fade they will eventually stand out again
(R) Inside stamp (note that the inside of the eyelets is still white)
the leg label, with some custom markings
(L) On the "US Only" modification Mister Freedom used left over scraps of SC denim, and I was lucky enough to get some Edo-Ai denim on the left pocket and the regular green id 301 Okinawa on the right.
The backpockets are different sized and an interesting shape.
(R) Right backpocket selvedge
Lace-up back with indigo dyed tape and custom indigo dyed eyelets again with the inside left white, you can also already see some fading on the bottom star looking stitch.
As you can see there is selvedge galore on both the denim and the chambray!
