IH-1955S
-
First of all I am new to the 55 cut never owned this high of rise. I do like the high rise and I have had the chance to wear these a handful of times…...
I will be the first to admit sizing down to a 33 might have been a little mistake... Pants fit great when standing and walking. More then plenty of room in thigh and arse. Due to the rise being above the hip they are a little tight when bending, squatting, or sitting. Not painful, but pretty snug. They have already stretched a 1/2 inch, I am sure they will be perfect with wear.
I will update next week and try get up some pics to see what other people think.
Now, I don't have a lot of fit/stretch experience with IH, really the only stretch experience I have is with my 634S, but I'm willing to bet that if you can button those now, but they just feel tight when bending, squatting, etc., that they'll stretch out to at least a size 34's measurements in time.
As I was thinking about which size to get in a 634-XHS, I noticed that my sized 33 634S have stretched beyond the thigh dimensions of the size 34 so that a brand new size 34 would actually be tighter on me than my worn-in size 33s.
Just wear the hell out of them!

Paul,
I am not to worried my 634s have stretched from a 34 to a 36, that was my concern on the size 34 1955s I was worried they would stretch and be way to big since they were loose to start.I am letting down my IH community….. I will have pics next week promise!! been busy with kids and work. and I am slow at getting pics on the web. Giles, If it helps motivate a second run I will do the pics.

Looking forward to the pics

They're hanging right next to me now.[ i am in bed 1 in the morning] Didn't get a chance to take a good look but the fit is just how in like it.
When you put it on you know it's a 55cut so 55 die hards will not be disappointed but it has very much an IH feel, not just with the obvious signature fabric but the patten is still true to how IH cut their jeans.
Every pattern maker has their own way of doing things and it is still very apparent though this one so technically not a 55 repo but a IH take on the 55, Harakied
Check your measurements as these run true. If you like to "stretch" fit in to your jeans then differently size down one more than you normally would.
My new favorite jeans…..

Great look Jimmy

thanks guys. had a whole day with these on and still loving it.
i know the denim is the same but this feels a little different, very very slightly more hairy and fluffy. most likely
just the opposite season form when my 634S denim was woven [you would be surprised how season can affect a vintage loom]these are differently too long for me so will take them up when i have time.
the construction on the 55 is the same as the 634S with a few minor details.the sewn in belt loop
fully lined back pockets
the US 43200G was in perfect tention with this lot
