ULTRA HEAVY RAW - IH-1955-UHR, IH-666-UHR and IH-634-UHR

[tatmantall]

634 (with a long inseam of course)

[aryowl]

461 cut? i think it would be cool
slimmer than 634? i don't think it is a good idea

and make it as special as 634SR

[Giles]

The 461 cut does not sell well enough to make 100 of them…..

666S cut will be fine.....

Consider the 55's Giles, the vintage boom is pushing even deeper this year not only with these new boutique brands but with RL himself, also worth noting is LVC is going Orange tab (something you were doing last year and the year before) thus there will be a shortfall of pre-sixties material out there for the next two years.  It would be a no brainer for any vintage biker or satorialist to snatch up a couple of pairs of them as stocks dry out over the next few months.

[Giles]

I'm considering them, don't fret….....

[simonc]

aww, smiley face, nice Giles.  I would add the 666s must be in there too, I just woken up to them recently.

[Giles]

So, if H can remake the denim.

We'll do
634
666
1955

[simonc]

good call

[Simon H]

nice one!

[tatmantall]

WOOOOOHOOOOOOO!!!!!

[Giles]

Yeah, Yeah, Yeah - and we'll make a gangly version especially for you…..

[JCMx800]

The 1955 really teases me!!! 1955 or 634, we´ll see, but I would order one

[mclaincausey]

What a beautiful thing…

Let's not get too excited…

I'd put money down if the rise on the 55s will be lowered

[Nerkg]

I LOVE low rise. They can sag just a tiny bit and not look saggy

[grandmasterben]

Lowered '55 rise is more normal than "low," it wouldn't be a '55 anymore but that's not such a bad thing….although I seriously doubt they're going to test a new cut in 21/23 oz.

[Max Power]

Well, even my LVC 201 don't have such a long rise as the IH 1955. If the FR was around 12" and the backrise around 15,5" (size 33/34) it would still be long and I think also historically more acurate. And much more wearable. It could also come in a different name to differ from the current 1955.

[Giles]

The rise on our version of the 55 is the exact same size as a pair of LVC 55 that I had.  I do not know what year the LVC's were, as I no longer have them here.

The rise will not change.  They are what they are and if you don't like it, buy something else.

[Graeme]

If the 21/23 oz denim comes off, then I'd be up for a pair of the 1955s. Even with the enormously tall rise.
