Time For a New Jeans Cut….

Right so all I need to do to get the Sherpa lined trucker jacket made is get Giles drunk! Why didn't someone tell me this before!

Evidence suggests you may have to be ginger too.

I don't want it that bad….

It was G's idea, I just provided some input and a sounding board for the constant swearing and abuse

Man, I loved that show

New jeans cut.
Higher rise than IH-634 - particularly at the back.
More taper from the knee than the 634.
this interests me greatly

Great news regarding the new cut. There has been quite an amount of suggestions / wishes for a such cut so I hope it will sell well and offer a lot of denims over time. I would assume the 21oz will be the first run…?

Agreed! Fingers crossed for retailer interest also.

I hope so. I haven't had indigo 21oz in rotation for over a year and I miss it.
So excited about this.

Hope there is enough of a taper left when they get hemmed to say 32-34 leg.

- If we want to have selvedge side seams and a proper cut, there is a limit to the taper that can be given to the jean. To have selvedge side seams, the outseam HAS to be parallel, so you have to take the taper off the inseam, take too much and the cut is a joke. One of the reasons that the IH-634 is a better cut in many ways than the IH-634S, is that we don't have to worry about a parallel outseam.
- We could use selvedge denim and dispense with the selvedge ID showing on the outseam (like the IH-461S), but that is probably a compromise too far.
-
Would it be possible to end at 36" inseam after shrinkage? I am pretty certain not many will need an longer inseam. 38" or above are a bit much if you want a small leg opening at the (I think) most pouplar 32-26" length.

I think the key thing here, that'll make this work, is the tapering from above the knee. If you consider the difference between the 555 and 666 cuts, I know I can buy a 666 with a 12.8" thigh and avoid sausage leg because the drop from the top of the thigh is relatively straight and the taper marginal. 12.8" in the 555 is a no go because the the taper starts early and I have thighs like Yamaha engine block. So the point with these jeans (I hope), is to have a properly fitting top block giving way to generous thighs that then taper early giving us big boys a bit of wiggle room in a more flattering silhouette. For us short inseam types any taper is going to help, and be better than living with the big flappy openings that I end up having on my 666 and BB's.
The point is this, we're not going to get (nor I believe, do we want) a W36 jean with a 13.5" thigh that narrows to a 7,8" hem. It's going to be some antifit, carrot-shaped nightmare cut. But we do want the silhouette of a tapered fit. The trade off will be a hem that is less wide than on a pair of 634's but not as narrow as 555's/777's.

So if the 634 has 0.5" inch taper from knee to hem are you thinking this cut would have a full inch or more?

This sounds awesome!! Thanks G&G music factory [emoji23]
