      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.

            So, if H can remake the denim.

            We'll do

            666
            1955

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

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

                                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.

                                  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.

                                    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.

                                      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. 🙂

                                        IF it gets made, of course.

                                          634 for me,maybe a bit slimmer fitted with lower rise like vulcans would be nice
