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

Thanks for all of the vitals, that link really helps, @Giles. I should have known that. You fellas are all the pretty tall and handsome sorts. I have some years on you too.
I'm pretty sure that other cuts do look better on me than 634s and while I've never thought of myself as "heavy set", that is likely a better description of these…"golden years." Gravity and genetics are further conspiring to make me look even shorter. As for how I look, well, I only see other human beings twice a week. (<---Actually true. My "social" life consists of walking in our woods.) The weather in western New York is like the north of Scotland only wetter, colder, and about as dark. Perfect for layering IH.
I may yet try The Boss's Cut here.

Hey Everyone,
I have a terrible time fitting pants because I'm tall (6-6), fairly small waist (33) and I've been a cyclist all my life so I have really big thighs and glutes. Almost any pants I buy off the rack (that are supposed to be non-slim fitting) I have to size up 2 or more inches in the waist and then have them taken in.
Fortunately for me the 1955 cut pretty much checks all those boxes with the high rise and roomy cut. The 33 tag size is a bit loose in the waist but nothing a belt can't take care of
I'm not great at taking fit pics but here's a few from earlier today. I'm never taking these jeans off BTW.

@adelorenzo - great fitting jeans buddy. After reading about your continuous struggles with ill fitting denim pants I feel your joy and satisfaction at finding the IH 1955S cut. Happy days
-
@adelorenzo thanks very much for taking the time. Great pics and a wonderfully fitted pair of jeans. They look great.
Given your body shape and size I can recommend the 888 cut too. I believe you will find it equally satisfying as the 1955. It has a high rise, a full top block but a more modern tapered silhouette than the 1955. The best thing is the waist/thigh measurement ratio which works very well for those of us with som chunk in the thighs.
