IH-1955S - 21oz Selvedge Denim "1955" Vintage Tapered Cut Jeans - Indigo

@xtcclassic:

Just wait until you get them broken in.

I love my '55's

So I've known about IH for about a month now and my upper body is well supplied with 4 phenomenal shirts.  Now my lower body needs some love (earmuffs).

I'm very sure that this is the cut of jeans for me (34in waist/26in thighs), but alas, there are no 33s in stock.  So, is my best bet to…
-Buy 34s and ask them to find a pair that's under by about a 1/2 inch in the waist?
-Ask if they "have any in Japan?" (seems like people do this frequently, not sure how annoying it is)
-Ask when they'll have 33s back in stock?

[Giles]

Either 1 or 3.  They are not stocked in Japan…..

Ok then two questions:  Is a restock imminent?  Is it likely you have an undersized tag 34?

Thanks for the help. I'm not usually so fussy but I'll definitely be getting them hemmed and would rather "measure twice, cut once."

[Giles]

It's better to ask questions like, "do you have a specific size?" using the contact form on the website.  Asking in a post presupposes that we read every post, we don't.  I am travelling so can't measure anything, so please use the contact form then one of the guys back at the office will sort you out.

No imminent restock I am afraid.

Ok will do, thanks for the info.

@Giles Matt took care of me, so the order is in!  He even took the extra step of emailing me directly when it was clear I wasn't getting the response via the online form system (which, strangely, isn't in my spam folder either).  Just wanted to say thanks and report on a great experience dealing with the crew.

Did they ever do a run in a lighter fabric? I have two of the '55 in 21oz and I'd love a lighter option…

[Giles]

No we dod not.  I may do a 14oz version…..

[JDelage]

That would be great.

Yes please!

[JDelage]

Quick question: when were those made for Aero? In particular, when was the run with the Aero patch but the IH arctuates? Thanks!

[Giles]

About 5 years ago…

[Graeme]

I'm a fan of the 1955 cut, so would be interested in a 14 oz version too.

[Giles]

New run initiated.  If I have recently said we have a run in production and it should be complete soon.  I was wrong…..

[spitfiredealer]

I keep getting drawn back to this cut but I just don't know if I could make the rise work. I could actually size down to a 31 on these and everything would be spot on just that rise which could still be too much. #firstworldproblems

[Dion]

Same here. I was considering this cut many many times but the rise is still too high for me even if I sized down.

[JDelage]

The rise makes those particularly comfortable, especially when seating. My favorite IH.

[A Former User]

I personally prefer mid-high rise. When the jeans can actually sit on your hips it is an extraordinarily comfortable and ergonomic feel.

[Shoreman]

It's just a cut I need to try so I can finally put my interest to bed. I'm curious to know if the extreme rise will mitigate what appears to be excessively large thighs.
