    [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.

    @Nkwkfld:

    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.

    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.

    we’re trying our best

      @neph93:

      @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 , @Giles  - does overdying weaken the denim or stitching in any way?

                                    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?

                                      @KA56 I don’t think they would be stretching back to their pre-OD size.

                                      @ShopatIronHeart ?

                                        any plans on making the 1955 in SBG? If not, I might 'have'to spring for this. Love the 1955 cut and need a darker pair to feed the inner goth.

                                          @KA56 In my experience it is difficult to avoid stretch entirely. Even if you bought jeans too big for you. Unless you were to stand up right and not pitch your body at all, exertion on the waist is largely unavoidable. For example, sitting down in the car, leaning over to pick something up etc.. all instances where you're going to apply some pressure.

                                          The good news is, you can account for this by pre-empting the 1" stretch you will most likely get and picking the appropriate tag size accordingly.

                                          Let's say in this case you grab the Tag 34 and it's nailed on 33.4". I would say it's unrealistic to expect this measurement to stay at 33.4" over time.

                                          If you let the crew know your exact dims and what your target measurements are, they will be able to find you the best pair available.

                                          The devil is in the detail..
