      @Giles - no rush, and hate to make anyone do anything extra just to find out. Just wondered how the trend was moving or staying the same.

      Have a safe flight!

        On plane and only have data going back to Oct.

        Of total major jeans family sales.

        Bear in mind we have been out of 888's, so the data is not as accurate as it could be….

        777 - 30%
        634 - 26%
        666 - 20%
        888 - 12%
        555 - 11%

          That's very interesting as I thought the 555 would be a tad more popular.

            Here's the rub.  The 634 and the 666 are generally always available in Japan for us to pull in when we need them.  The other cuts are not available continually, so there are periods when we just can't satisfy demand, so the results are skewed towards the "generally available" cuts.

            I have agreed with H, that we will stock the 21oz indigo versions of the 777, 555 and 888 on a constant basis in Kojima, so that should help us to be out of stock less….

                  When I can get the thighs and rise right I love the 777 as well.  555 is probably my least favorite IH cut…I just don't get it lol.

                      If sized correctly the 555 is amazing with a great taper and enough room in the top block so the gentleman balloons can breathe.

                                    It's the large waist-to-thigh/knee ratio that is a bit odd to me.  For me they fit quite large in the waist but the thighs and knees I can barely squeeze in to.  I will say that the very small knee measurements on this cut make for fantastic honeycombs.  I don't entirely dislike the cut it's just probably the oddest cut for my body type.

                                      The 555 is actually pretty good for me with the exception of the knee. That’s what takes them from a snug fit to a tight fit if I’m not careful with sizing (I have three pairs and one of them is 80’s rocker, one is good and one is marginal but doable).

                                        If the 666 cut were made to fit Giles,then the 555 were made to fit me. Everything about it is perfect on me. Especially in light of the fact that I either wear  boots or Converse on my feet.

                                          Actually I think I've figured out what it is with this cut….I would be a tag size 35 in them, that would be my perfect size...but for whatever reason that tag size is elusive..not just with IH but with a lot of brands.  There are actually one or two fabrics made in a tag size 35 for the 777 cut I believe....but other than that I need either a large 34 or small 36.

                                          so I am a snake...just a tag size 35 snake  😉
