Hey,

I am re entering the world of denim.  Have a pair of IH633 from self edge.  Like the cut, but want something lighter than 21 oz for summer.  Any recs?

Oh damn, thanks!

This will be on the website as well soon, but here is a bit more indepth comparison of our cuts for your reference.

@Steve tool!!!

He gets enough of that at work, @goosehd - cut him a break

[Matt]

That’s really cool. I love @Steve ’s tool.

[Karol]

@Steve now we are talking!!!!
Freaking awesome!

[Matt]

I wouldn’t mind seeing some more pictures of @Steve ’s tool.

I have a question @Steve and please forgive my ignorance if the answer is simple…

Since one of the distinguishing features of each pair is where it sits on the waist, shouldn’t the top line have them reflecting that (ie. low, mid or hi)? I’m having a hard time telling the difference between where each pair sits and how that affects potentially sizing up or down. Based on the graphics the hem and waist all line up so it creates the impression, to me, that they’d all sit the same. I can see that the crotch position varies, but that isnt helping me visualize how each pair fits.

[Steve]

Do you mean something like this @Matt ? We did try this view at an early design stage, but ended up with uneven hems, so went with a more uniform guide in the end. TBH there probably isn't a 'correct' way to show this, as everyone has different ways of processing info and equally I guess different ways of wearing their jeans

(Got my tool out first thing this morning to knock this up for you)

@Steve - think that is really helpful. As a 555 man I wear them as I like the fit bit have always struggled with the difference between high rise and medium rise: this helps a lot

[sabergirl]

Fwiw I find this second version with the waists and hems on different levels way easier to understand, also.

Both are great resources, in any case! Thank you for all your hard work putting these together, Steve.

[Mizmazzle]

I agree. I like the version that shows the rise at a different level as well. This tool is super helpful! Maybe I can pull off the 555 cut afterall!!!

[Matt]

I think those are valid points @Steve thanks for that. I do prefer the rise centric view and I think since the length is the most consistently variable feature of all the cuts it seems the least helpful to have them all aligned. The fact that the inseam measurements can be easily altered per the wearer’s preferences reinforces this point. With cuffing and hemming you can get the length exactly where you want it. The rise in n the other hand is what it is so seeing that comparison would be my preference.

Thanks for hearing me out.

[EdH]

I personally think the comparison that lines up all the crotches is clearer at showing the different rises.

I really like the 'The [CUT] Compared' series. If I could add something, I'd add little annotations making the differences super clear.

Edit: something like this but not amateur hour:

Begging for a tapered 555ish cut.

Question for you UK folk… in the description for the 555, it says ‘They look great on larger people who want a slim look below the knee.’

When you say ‘larger’, do you mean taller? Or fatter? Or both?

I suspect that was @Giles being politically correct for ‘fatter’
