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

Solid fit, these look great, and it's true that it can take a while to figure all this out. The same cut will look like a different shape on someone with a different body. It's why model photos are sometimes unhelpful in imagining how clothes will look worn, and why the forum is great for seeing different body types wearing the various shapes.

Been tempted by this cut myself. They look awesome on you. Gonna hem them or keep the cuffs? Thanks for the writeup.

[While exploring cuts can be expensive it is fun too, and interesting.
This is an excellent point and appreciate the positive attitude of having fun with it. I get frustrated more than I should when a pair doesn’t fit the way that I want but it’s all part of the process.
Thanks](https://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=25391) #smfpackscodeWeft 4 Dead . Glad you found it helpful. I plan on rocking the cuff.

Well said. Photos are great to see how they look ‘out in the wild’ but I’ve learned over the years to just trust the measurements.

@Kirk great write up and you make a strong case for these.
While exploring cuts can be expensive it is fun too, and interesting. Having discovered the joys of the IH-463 and IH-634, I’m sure the 1955 will happen for me soon.
It's taken me a few years–-significant weight loss, back to something closer to my "historical weight"---to figure out how different cuts work for me, or don't. Yeah, it was a bit costly but with Iron Heart (and other real quality pieces) you can make back a few bucks in a sale if it goes south. All of my older, cheaper stuff I have just given away. I think of that as the greater loss since that stuff won't last no matter who uses it.
I'm not tall or lanky and, well, not young anymore, all of which factors into what I think works for me; I can wear jeans all the time, even at my desk-job. I've ventured into every cut except the boot (and won't likely go there). Initially I shied from the 1955, thinking it was maybe too wide but actually now like it just as much as 634. I've also sold off my experiments with 555 and 888 and for a "trim" style I prefer to go only as "far" as 666. 1955 in 25oz and in the incoming slubby–- that's what I hope to see someday. I much enjoyed @Kirk 's write up and reasoning aloud and think @neph93 makes a great point about how figuring it out–-takes a few tries and you lose a few as experience catches up to ideas---is really part of the fun. That's my experience for sure.

@Alex any plans on restocking these?

On my most wanted list also.

@Deonte1719 No, sorry. We only ran the 1955 in Indigo in the last production run. TBC on when these are back next
-
@AdamJ I appreciate your swift response. I’m looking forward to it!

Wow! I was lined up to buy the indigo, not even realizing these were restocking.
Based on the updated size chart, I was on track to grab the 33 in the indigo, which appears to correspond to a 34 here. Assuming I wear a belt to minimize waist stretch, and assuming no undue pressure elsewhere across the jeans, these aren't likely to stretch to match the indigo 34?
