IH-1955-UHR - Ultra Heavy Raw 1955 Cut
-
We have no more of this denim and have no plans to re-weave until late 2016 at the earliest.
Which denim Giles? 17 oz. organic?
Restock of the 1955S expected in 2015?
-
We will probably rerun the 1955S. Trouble is, the are not stocked in Japan and very few retailers take them, so I have to wait until running a 100 for me is sensible. At the moment with 56 or so in stock, it make no sense.
Yes, 17oz Organic - if I decide to do it at all. Again the 100 rule rears its ugly head…

I have had the 1955uhr,the 1955S and the Fulcount 1101.I am a 32 waist and found that sizing down to a 31 in the 1955S has provided me with the best fitting jeans I ever came across.Of course every single body is different,and how we like to wear our jeans will determine what we deem a great fit.the FC 1101 to me reminded me of the Edwin Nashville.slightly lower rise and tighter around the crotch.The 1955UHR I did not have for long and had to be returned due to a slight MFG problem,but also fit very slightly lower IMO than the1955S (even though they were a 32 ) possibly due to minor shrinkage.Denim wise all three are quite different animals.I would certainly go for a pr of 17oz In a 1955S cut and hope that they do come into production.
Others for your consideration could be:3 Sixteen CS 100X
Warehouse lot 1001XX
Real McCoys lot 002All are high front/back rise iirc? And a 50's cut

Anodsasgoodasawink,
Interesting about the slight rise difference of the 1955S and 1955-UHR. I have only the UHR and have found the rise (both front and back) to be relatively high (which I like) not unlike my Fullcount 1101 or 0105. If the 1955S rise is a touch higher, that will work.
I'm not familiar with the Real McCoy's Lot 002 but was considering the Lot 003, which has a very high back rise in size 34 (17.75") but only a moderate front rise (11.75"). A 6" spread between front and back is atypical, as you know.
Giles, with all this IH-1955 forum traffic, I'm hoping that you've sold 35 pairs in the last few days and are gearing up to reorder 300 new 1955's (100 1955S, 100 in 25 oz., and 100 in 17 oz.

I'm going to throw my 2cents in on the 1955s would love to get a pair of them in size 34 in any of the 3 denims mention or all three!!!I have a 2 pair of the LVC 1955 witch are the only pair of my 20 pairs of LVC that I still wear since I have discovered Iron Heart!!! Start adding up these posts maybe we can get to 300!!

My previous pair of IH:s were a pair of IH-666S in sz 32. The waist was perfect, but they ended up being too tight in the top block all around. Ended up having to sell them, and I've been looking awhile for a good replacement. These should fit the bill.
I've looked into these and the 21oz version, figure one of them will be my next pair (and since Volls has these, I'm super tempted). However, I'd like some advice on sizing, would going with 32 sound reasonable?

Ive had these for about a month now. Love them, soaked and washed as directed. the shrinkage was as described. My Favourite jeans by miles now, but heading into summer in dubai, the temperature is already over 40c and they are warm. it will be well over 50 in july, if i dont wash them you will smell em from the uk. :-
ill try to post some pics -
50 in heavy denim is crazy! Get some shorts man
-
UHR chicken legs?
I'm wearing mine today. Fortunately we're heading into winter Down Under.
I went to a job interview in them, which is one thing that I got knocked back for. I did explain that my suit's in transit still. I probably should have pointed out that my clothing was better quality than most suits the corporates wear too.

How about some pics @Graeme ? If it's any consolation, I'm wearing my as yet unwashed and unsoaked 634 UHRS to work today!

ill try to post some picsThe 21oz fares surprisingly surprising well even in the worst of months (Aug & Sep for me) . I used to wear diesel and the 21oz kept so much cooler (provided they are fully broken in)
Now let's see what organ has enough life in it to sell for 350 €... (I'll settle for 349...)
