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

*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.
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.

My jeans showed up today and I am STOKED!!! Grabbed the size 33 and they literally could not fit any better if they were custom made for me. I have a crazy hard time finding any pants that fit, let alone jeans, so this is a happy, happy day. They are also totally boss and without a doubt the best jeans I have ever laid my hands on.
I tried them on at the office and I can't take them off they are too awesome. So am currently wearing them with an oxford shirt and blazer.
Thank you!!!!

@adelorenzo hey, it is casual Friday after all. Pleased for you…. if you ever feel inclined, post a fit pic. I've always been tempted by these but it is rare to see them in the wild.
If you don't mind me asking, why do you have trouble with jeans fits?

I share @neph93 's fascination and trepidation: I want to try but have trouble imagining the in the wild look. Can we ask: how tall is Sam? Does that matter? Maybe the iH Swamis can offer more wisdom? Also, just so @adelorenzo can feel the sympatico, wearing IH jeans with an OCBD and a blazer is my usual University professor look. I can get away with it nowadays because I'm also older than dirt, act crazier than a loon, and everyone leaves me alone as the resident eccentric. Not sure that helps.
