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

[A.V.D.77]

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.

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 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

@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

[endo]

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

[Bill C]

This post is deleted!

[endo]

thanks man @Bill-C but no 1955 in there, or is there?

[Bill C]

@endo

My bad - edited my previous post above …

[endo]

@Bill-C fully understand, I also expected the 1955s to be there, that's why I'm asking

@endo 1955 is my all time favorite IH cut. Hard to compare to 634, front and rear rise totally different. I consider this cut an anti fit with a slim looking and wearing silhouette. Most of the anti fit is in the knee. My size 34 has 13” FR, 13.5”thigh and a 10” knee that tapers to an 8.5” hem. Plenty of room in the top block, but slimming from knee to hem.

I would say the top block on 1955 is less boxy and less relaxed than 888s, I love 888s, but for my body type I have to wear my 888s gangster style low and loose. Sameway I use to wear my 634s. I love the silhouette of 634s size 33 and down. In the bigger sizes for me the 634s would feel a little bell bottom due to the larger hem opening in relation to the slimmer 634 top block..

1955 I can wear high on hips and never have to pull them up after bending or sitting and still have plenty of room to be very comfortable whilst sitting or bending. Hope this helps.

AFAIK they’re like 501s. Good bit higher rise than 634 - actually a little higher than 888. Slightly fuller leg than 888 but similar taper. I think I’ve got that right but someone else might chime in.

[endo]

I'm basically looking for a slightly tapered 634. Is it that?
