      I have both cuts. So I think the main difference between the 1955 and the 888 is the front rise measurement. I also think all dimensions in the other areas are a little bigger on the 1955s. The 1955s are the most comfortable pair of jeans I own, a combination of the 21oz and the extra room.


      1955 on left, 888 on right, both 21oz

          @Bill:

          Also considering the 888 during the 1955’s absence. Have any of you 1955 guys tried the 888, and what was/is your experience?

          thanks - Bill

          For me, the major difference between the two is the knee measurements. The 1955S is my favorite cut, but the 888 is uncomfortable at the lower thigh level.

            thanks @JDelage , based on your and @atm23 ’s replies, my gut feeling is to hold out for a restock of 1955S and/or 1955S-OD  - “form follows function” and “good things come to those who wait”!

              1955S-SLB, just back from hemming. Super comfy fit.

                I bought a couple pair at The Shop Vancouver, I love the fit of these and looking forward to a restock. I will be stocking up.

                  I want to try this model. I have 888 25oz. Can someone tell me 1955 from 888 will be very different in landing?

                    Very little difference, I believe. Subtly higher front rise, maybe a little baggier knee.

                      I’ll second @sabergirl’s post above. I have 1955S and 888S-14ii - 1955 is about an inch higher on the waist and there is definitely more room in the knee - it’s a more “old skool” cut, a bit baggier and more relaxed, 888 has a slightly smarter, more fitted look - ymmv …

                                @AdamJ Woah! I totally missed the 1955 comeback news... this is awesome. Beggars can't (and won't) be choosers, but any chance for an OD version too?
