Hmmm…should I or shouldn't I. A question I've been asking myself...

Thanks

My 34's fit perfect Giles! Thank you mate. I guess I could have had them hemmed but didn't want to risk it after my last strike out.

I sooo stoked on them mate! My best blues ever!!

Giles any chance of a run of this cut with 25oz denim?

Pleeeeaaaassse

[Giles]

it does not matter how many times I am asked, the answer is still no.

[Simon H]

Wow,that was my first post

[Giles]

Sorry, but this question gets asked loads of times.  If the 1955S flew off the shelf like other cuts, them I'd consider other denims.  The 1955 has some true believers, but not enough yet to convince me to invest another $10K in a speculative run….

Hi Giles and everyone else!

I got my 1955s on Monday, and I'm really pleased with them. Last time I wore a new pair of Iron Hearts was back in 2007, so I was really excited to receive a new pair. I had forgotten how heavy and stiff these jeans are when new I could probably write a page on why Iron Hearts are so great, but I guess most of you guys know. What's unique about these though is that the back pockets are lined and the belt loops are sewn into the waistband. My OCD is satisfied, indeed

I am about 6'1" tall and weigh around 220lbs. I wear a 34" waist in these, just like in most other jeans that fit me. I got this pair hemmed to 35" (thanks Giles), and they are rolled up 4 times in the photos.

Here's me wearing my long ago retired SExIH03 in a 33" waist, just for comparison:

Thanks Giles! What do you mean by handle though?

Great fit, 50, and congrats on the pickup of the 55s.  As Seul mentioned, your SEXIH03s are really cool, too.

Your handle is 50shadesoffade… It's a nice s/n...

which leads to the following question: how many preorders do you need? In other words, how many do you need to sell to press the green "GO" button

Can we kickstart it?

Since my last IH jean purchase (555''s) I have seen the light and am dying for this cut more than any jean I have ever bought. (50shades fit is exactly what i was lookin for)  I look and read countless Levi's vintage articles just about every day.  I went to the LVC store in the city last week and was like a kid in a candy store.  That said even though I was star struck at the overall layout of the store and the history of Levi's early denim,  I of course thought of  Iron heart & the 634's.  I was wrong the IH1955's are LVC's evil more talented big brother.  I mean 12.5 oz denim although good enough for miners isn't good enough for the 21oz IH Army.

Now a quick question and i'm not sure if this was ever asked but why does the hem jump from 8.2in to 9in in the tagged 34 & 36 waist's?  I would also love to have these back pocket stitching again.  I know people hated them but they are doing it for me
