ULTRA HEAVY RAW - IH-1955-UHR, IH-666-UHR and IH-634-UHR
-
^A modified 55 cut with a lower rise, especially the front rise would definitely grab my attention … An authentic 55 FR and having a bit of a gut/belly don't mix is my experience
-
I think the rise would have to be lowered for the 55 cut to sell well. Most people don't want jeans that come up to their belly button. From about the hips down, the 55 does look good, and works especially well for the strong thighs guys.
EDIT: Damn, FurattoHeddo beat me to it.

I already own a 1955, and I would buy another pair in this denim. I don't have any strong opinions about the rise, but I agree with those who say that a lower rise would sell better and make for a good, universal cut. Personally, I'd also prefer even more taper from the knee and down.
Giles, in the 1955S thread you said that you had to make and sell at least 100 pairs of a particular jean in order to profit. Does the same math apply for this denim? For instance, does it cost you more to make 700 634S and 40 1955S, than just 740 634S? Just curious
-
If it was made once why can't it be made again?
If what was made once? If you are talking the SE collab jacket, that is a completely different denim.
If H can make the material, we will def do 634 and 666
My question is, why wouldn't he be able to make the 21/23 oz denim again? It's been made before so what's stopping him from making it again if you order it?

This is music to my ears - well, it'll certainly give me a tricky decision anyway…

Fuck knows, but if H says no, I don't push back. That's just the way H and I work….If he say no, I accept it and move on

I'm not sure I ever said "to profit", but the basic rule is, I can't make less than 100 jeans of a material/cut without pissing off the factory. I'm ugly enough to not care about pissing them off occasionally, but each time I do that, my ability to ask for favours diminishes, so I try not to…...
-
666 will likely be my next pair. If that pair is 21/23 denom that would be a win/win.
-
What ever gets made from this denim, I want it. Period.

No, you never said profit. I just assumed that's what you meant. Gotcha
Oh, by the way, you could make a hell of a lot of coasters

That's cool, I was just curious.
I'll take a 634 if it happens
-
I hate sounding like one of those dudes that's obsessed with leg warmer denim, but for me the 634s cut with about a half inch smaller hem would be perfection.
WURD they're perfect for my red wings. But a 1/2" tighter for my vans would be sweet.
