@Bill:

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

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!

@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.

@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.

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