One more question for those that wear this cut vs 888.
I have only ever tried 888s and am strongly considering the 1955 and from the compare tool the look for the most part very similar but when comparing recent measurements of 888s to these is seems they have a little more room in the thigh then the 888s. It looks like a lot of 888s have been more on the slightly narrower side then compared to previous releases of the 888.
For those that wear both, how do these compare to the 888s?
-
Higher front rise and from thigh to knee the 1955 is more straight so you will have more leg room. Where the taper on the 888's starts a couple of inches from the crotch, the 1955 stays straight similar to a 634 and tapers below the knee to hem.

Excited for these.
have a sizing question if anyone wants to chime in. I comfortably were a 33” waist measurement. I could wear a touch smaller but not too much. Would you go with the 31.9 and hope for the one inch of stretch or go with the 33.3 and hope it doesn’t get too loose in the waist? Or is this a pass because it won’t work. I have have a 32.5” 634 that eventually stretched to to a 33; that works well for reference. -
@harleylawhorn the most I ever go under is about .5” depending on the fabric.
Anything else and it may be too much.
