      ^ I completely agree with you mate. I care not a bit about the ID. I just know that SE got the selvedge ID on the 301's first chance they had, and the denim/style forums of the time were full of people turning their noses up because "it wasn't selvedge".

      I'm sure IH's market has matured a lot since then and as regulars, we know the value of the brand, not just the gimmicks. But I'm not sure the wider market will want jeans without the ID and suspect Giles will need sales from retailers and from outside of the forum to make it work financially.

      Totally. I have absolute faith that the build quality of any IH piece will be top notch and that generally speaking there is a reason for every detail being included or left out.  To me needing the selvedge showing is the same mindset as leaving the sticker on a new era cap.  I'm not saying that's bad or wrong… it just isn't something that matters to me personally.

        Self Edge take the IH-461 - that's about it really.

        I think if I told them that the new cut had no selvedge ID, I'd get zippo orders…...

          On another point, I have been looking at the 1955S cut (as I am contemplating doing a run in 14oz), we manage to keep the selvedge ID with quite a lot of taper, so that's good news….

            Best of both worlds… I cuff everything... Selvedge line not a dealbreaker at all... But would prefer it... Just cause I'm a bit of a nerd like that I guess... And it looks good... 🙂

              UES 400t is another cut that has a strong taper and has the selvedge showing.

                That does not make it a "good" cut.  All the taper has to come out of the inseam, which if you do too much completely screws things up…

                  this actually got me to revisit the 1955 and look at the measurements.  i may have to try a 14 oz!

                    Will you the fly still be three button, or go up to four?

                        The ues 400t was my favorite of all the cuts i tried so far and would be somewhat close to the lifters jeans we're talking about

                          I am afraid we will not call these the 575 or lifters jeans.  For all you lifters out there, you may find this hard to believe, but it'll throttle sales from non lifters….

                                    A three button fly? I can't imagine that working with these…at all.

                                        This….  Three button means the fly/rise is really low and looks almost like a women's jean.  Or the buttons are spaced so far apart if you wear your jeans on the slim side it looks like your frank and beans are about to pop the buttons.

                                          I realize all jeans presented on this web site fit everyone's bodies different. It took me a bit to realize this, I started out buying 633 from Self edge, then 634 21 / 23 oz. denim from self edge. I liked them but always felt that I was hiking them up, which weren't a usual rise for me. Next pair I bought were 1955S from IHUK which I should have stopped buying anything from then on. I'm not a low rise wearer, and tried a bunch, but the 1955S and 1955UHR are my favorites. Beetle busters have a rise that work for me as well. My final note, there is a photo of me sitting in an airplane seat that shows more gut than anything, I was wearing the 634B&SRAW, which is the lowest rise of any jean I have ever worn, and will be the last. I look forward to the 1955 14 oz.

                                            So…around a cut like SE 633 is then? They are a perfect taper cut without being too slim.
