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

@JohnM:

Love the 1955-UHR and am open to trying it in another denim. Also considering the 888. I’d guess there are some similarities between these cuts.

Also considering the 888 during the 1955’s absence. Have any of you 1955 guys tried the 888, and what was/is your experience?

thanks - Bill

I have both cuts. So I think the main difference between the 1955 and the 888 is the front rise measurement. I also think all dimensions in the other areas are a little bigger on the 1955s. The 1955s are the most comfortable pair of jeans I own, a combination of the 21oz and the extra room.

1955 on left, 888 on right, both 21oz

For me, the major difference between the two is the knee measurements. The 1955S is my favorite cut, but the 888 is uncomfortable at the lower thigh level.

thanks @JDelage , based on your and @atm23 ’s replies, my gut feeling is to hold out for a restock of 1955S and/or 1955S-OD  - “form follows function” and “good things come to those who wait”!

1955S-SLB, just back from hemming. Super comfy fit.

I bought a couple pair at The Shop Vancouver, I love the fit of these and looking forward to a restock. I will be stocking up.

I want to try this model. I have 888 25oz. Can someone tell me 1955 from 888 will be very different in landing?

[sabergirl]

Very little difference, I believe. Subtly higher front rise, maybe a little baggier knee.

[Bill C]

I’ll second @sabergirl’s post above. I have 1955S and 888S-14ii - 1955 is about an inch higher on the waist and there is definitely more room in the knee - it’s a more “old skool” cut, a bit baggier and more relaxed, 888 has a slightly smarter, more fitted look - ymmv …

Came in here hoping to see news more of these are coming. Am I right in the news is “hopefully down the line” but nothing scheduled as of now?
I need something sooner than later of course lol

@AdamJ thank you!

[atm23]

@AdamJ yay! Need to stock up!

[trivsdotcom]

@AdamJ Woah! I totally missed the 1955 comeback news... this is awesome. Beggars can't (and won't) be choosers, but any chance for an OD version too?

@Jett129 Tagging you so you’re in the loop.

[AdamJ]

@trivsdotcom this run is not being overdyed, no

[trivsdotcom]

@AdamJ Word, no worries I'm beyond stoked for the regular ones anyway lol. Definitely grabbing these.

Hi @AdamJ - any update on the ETA? Many thanks - Bill

sorry, dumb question, and I could look it up somewhere, but what's the difference between the 634 and the 1955 cut?
