IH-1955S

Hmmmm, that's a very high rise, but the other measurements look pretty good. I'll be curious to see what a size 32 looks like. I'm not hyped about the pocket stitching either, but that's why stitch rippers were invented, isn't it?

[kit99bar]

looks like if you pull out the horizontal stitch you will end up with upside down Levi arcs.  would look nice (to me!)

[jimmy]

When I saw the horizontal stitching I thought it was half lined but g explain it's an letter A which is still a mystery

[simonc]

I'm very excited Giles about this.  You're openness to good ideas and ability to exectue to this standard will be a testiment to your intergrity in this company.

[Giles]

That's nice of you, thank you.  However, I had a hard time convincing Haraki - "I'll do it, but I just don't get excited about copying other ideas, so it may take me longer than usual"….........

[Beatle]

I am completely with Haraki on this one…

I thought IH started as a repo company

[Beatle]

nope, IH has never been a repro in terms of cut. Basically - the only thing that would qualify them for the title is manufacturing standards

[Giles]

Well, the 634S is based loosely on a '66 cut, but there all sorts of subtle changes; size and placement of pockets etc.  Haraki may take a concept or design and modify it or Harakify it, but he does not get turned on by being given an existing pair of jeans and being asked to copy it.  That does not get his creative juices going - which is good.  having said that, I have had a lot of requests for a 55 cut in the 21oz selvedge and that compounded by a specific request from a retailer made me bite the bullet.

[Beatle]

yap, modified , but not a 66 cut per say..anyways - u repro fans should consider yourself lucky and buy 2 pairs to make Haraki & Giles happy

[rocket]

really looking forward to this one and I'm sure, as with all IH products, the final outcome will be topnotch

Whatever we think about how or why this one came into being.  It is a really stunning jean…...........

Go on spit it out

"Oooo" was what came out of my mouth involentarily!

[Seul]

Very nice!.. Excellent cut for taller gents or smaller people who just want a baggy/ full cut!..

[daveo]

I'm excited for this one (except the arcs…)!

[Giles]

The arcs are those of my retailer.  I will do normal arcs on the ones I carry…............

[simonc]

sorry what's an arc (beside big biblical boat)

[Giles]

the rear pocket stitching - arc as in arcuate…..........
