Hickory- pants, chore coats, caps

[indigoeagle]

How do you like hickory items?
When looking at pics of someone wearing a pair of hickory pants to me they look quite whiteish.
Probably because I'm so used to looking at denim.
These are the Samurai pants.

However, when I just look at the fabric it's different, darker.

And there are different kinds of hickory.
Sugar Cane has been issuing Headlight work pants.
The current one is about 2/3 blue and 1/3 white.

A previous version was more 50/50.

The previous one is indigo. I'm not sure, if the current one is also indigo. But probably.

Hickory can be combined nicely with denim and probably also brown duck.
Here are the pants with a denim jacket.

Does anyone have experience with hickory pants? I'm looking for a comfortable fit (wide, high waisted), and more blue than white and in indigo for fades.

The Samurai look really nice but are relatively heavy at 17oz.
And I'd like to wear the hickory pants in warmer months.
The Sugar Cane/Headlight is 11oz, which would be better.

Nudie Jeans has a chore coat and pants in 8.5oz.

Eat Dust has also offered pants and jacket.

There are also some by Stan Ray, Dickies and other. But I'm not sure, if the fabric is indigo.

Hi @indigoeagle, today I have mostly been wearing the hickory painter pants from Orslow – nice washed indigo stripes (don't think I'll get the chance to put much visible wear of my own on them); not sure of the fabric weight on these but I'd guess 11oz. They feel quite substantial, but I think the softness of the "used" wash makes the fabric seem heavier. In my opinion, Orslow excels when it comes to painter pants, chore coats and denim/chambray oxford shirts. And their reverse sateen stuff.. that's close to the original military issue.

Yes, Orslow has great stuff.
The hickory pants look good. But there hickory is the 50/50.
It seems that the current Headlight pants will fade, so I'm leaning towards them.

Hickory isn’t for me but it’s cool to see it. Companion offers it, I think in all of their cuts - one of which seems to possibly fit the bill for you (the loose Tom).

They’re not quite the typical Sufu fare, and they’re not so repro oriented necessarily, often having a bit of design flair that’s unique to them, but Iu’s shop does everything very well in my opinion. Well, at least everything I’ve got from them has been done well.

I do like hickory, but it's not always easy to wear. My favorite is Indigofera's, which has a light brown base.

For the 150th birthday of the 501 last year Levi's had a collab with Nigo.
They issued made in Japan pants and a type 3.
