        Best cut for larger trunks especially if your waist is smaller then your hips. I love mine.  Wear them more then any other cut.  In fact I have two pair on standby!!!!  Can not wait for possible rerun!!

        Now, I have an IRONHEART!!

          @Giles:

          Possible, but the minimun get's tricky for me on this particular jean….

          G just do  mostly 32 through 36 with a lot of 33's and 34's remember how fast the 34's went by by…

          Now, I have an IRONHEART!!

            I was fortunate to get one of the last pairs of the 1955S. I say "fortunate" because they have to be the best jeans I have seen come out of Japan or anywhere's else. The finishing is great and so is the fit. The 21 ozs denim is unsurpassed in my view. So I hope there is a re-issue of this product! Thanks to Giles and the team at IH!

              As Tinman once pointed out when you carry several pounds of 21 oz denim on your legs it needs to clamp around your hips to deal with the weight.  The '55's achieve this security with the higher rise that locks over your hips, and you feel no weight at all.  IH denim stretches.  However on the '55's they cannot slip due to the lovely round drape off the hips and just become part of you.

                  Exactly. Pants worn at or above the natural waist are not only more comfortable but alot less of a hassle to wear. They stay in place.

                  I am, and maybe you can give me some insight, not sure how much the high rise vs low rise distinction makes sense as regards Japanese pants. The denim products we admire from Japan are produced for the local Japanese market. The patterns, therefore, are cut to fit men who are smaller on average than western men. A pattern made for a men who are on average five foot two will necessarily look funny on a man six foot two. If you look at the specs of a Japanese jean in say 36 or 38, the front rise for a man five two would be high rise, but they would be ladies hip huggers for a Gaijin six two. 🙂 On the other hand, a 1955 golden era jean pattern, cut for men who average five ten would be completely out of proportin on men of smaller stature.

                  It would be great if the Japanese makers started to draw patterns specifically for a Western clientele. The resulting patterns would be alot like the sublime 1955S.

                    I think a lot of the IH patterns are already tailored for a western clientele… I can not express how much I love Iron Heart's love for high rises...  😘

                          I don't post much in the forum much but wear IH all day long all the time. I've been looking for these in a 34 and need them bad! I signed up for the early notice on the forum but if anyone has a pair they need to part with I would be interested.
