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

3 winters of wear, 5 or 6 washes

Update on my 1955S which I've been wearing since the first day (1.12.2018) - Washed only once

Very nice! Some classic 21oz evolution going on there…
Thanks Reuben! This is the best fitting and most out-of-the-box-comfortable denim for my personal taste. I've enjoyed wearing these and I'm looking forward to hopefully many years to come wearing the shizzle out of these even more. Unfortunately the 1955S and the 888 series are the only cuts that have a high(er) rise and wide(r) thighs so I don't really have many options to choose from…
If the 888S were available in my tag size (W28), I'd also love to try those. I do think that a slightly lower rise than the 1955S with the same amount of thigh room would be perfect for me. Therefore 888S would probably be an even better fit - but they aren't available for now
What I know for sure is that I will definitely be buying 21oz from now on as I think that it is the most breathable, comfortable and best looking denim type out there.

Wow. Those went fast. I will keep my eyes peeled for the restock. Hoping for a tag 32.
