IH-1955S - 21oz Selvedge Denim "1955" Vintage Tapered Cut Jeans - Indigo
-
Dusted off my 1955s due to the cold weather. The 888 cut works better for me but golly did I forget how awesome this 21oz flagship denim is.

First time poster, long time lurker here…
I am just curious, are there any plans on restocking the 1955 cut (preferably UHR, 21 or 25 oz) any time soon? I have just plunged into the deep end with a pair of 634s in 25oz and I am absolutely in love, and I think the 1955 would prove to be an even better fit.Thank you!

I am very much looking forward to this drop. I'm new around here–-since July of this year and, yes, what did take me so long? But in the process of working out how IH fits on my aging, gravity-laden body, it's proven an interesting process. The 1955 and 888 are still on my list. I know that every run is different, but I persist looking for a better sense of what works for me.
The only way for me to know, despite all the number crunching, is to put them on and figure it out. A few preliminary conclusions:
*The 634 is my favorite and I have been assiduously hunting them down since they seem to fly off shelves and are a bit harder to find that 777, 666, or 555. I look forward to a restock of 25oz in my size. Or is that my imagination?
*666 is the most popular IH fit, isn't that so? It works well enough for me but somehow does not work as well as 777.
*I just about squeeze into 555 but that makes me feel like Keith Richards or Ron Wood. Not really.I'm looking forward to the 25oz 888 and these 1955s. I also need another job. Quality costs, worth it, and I've given away a closet full of old denim. Some stuff more dear than IH is not half as good.

Nice post and as a quick comment, Pinkomo have 634 XHS in stock in plenty of sizes, if you are getting antsy about a restock and not opposed to ordering from abroad:

Last I checked, the 634 was still the best seller worldwide. I believe the other models have steadily chipped away at that lead, though. Giles or Alex would, of course, have the definitive answer…

When I invariably miss out on the 888-XHSb feeding frenzy, I might grab a pair of these. The measurements look like they would be pretty comfortable. Smaller waist and wider thigh and knee. The only drawback to this cut from my point of view is the larger leg opening.

Guys, why no smaller sizes? Previous run had 28 and 29 but this time the smallest is 30. I was ecstatic to see this was coming back as I love high rise straight leg jeans. Hopefully the next restock will have sizes that will fit narrow guys too…
We have a tag 28 in stock - PM me
