@Brandrea said in 1955S - 21oz Selvedge Denim "1955" Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo:
Man I’m tempted by these but … I’m sort of tall and thin (6’2”-175) and I think the rise on these might be a little too high. I started with 666 in IH and love that fit (this coming from cheaper Diesel type jeans with a low rise).
I finally decided at my age (56) I’d try a more relaxed fit, so I bought a pair of 21oz 634’s. A year later, I’ve got 4 more pairs in a variety of demin lol.
Just not sure I’m ready to try these yet. Anyone with a relatively thin tall frame have any advice on how they wear?
Hi @Brandrea - I’m 6’ 1” and 180 lbs. My inside leg is relatively short for my height at 33”, so I find the high rise kind of makes my legs look more in proportion! I also have the 888’s, and the 1955’s are definitely a baggier, more relaxed, retro fit with plenty of room around the knees. The rise is high - I’m wearing 1955 now and the waistband comes right up to my belly button. The high rise also avoids a gap on the back when I sit down which works for me. Just my opinion, but I’d say the rise is the defining feature which may or may not be to your preference.
Hope that’s helpful - Bill

Return of the 1955 UHR would be great

@Giles 16oz slubby would be a good shout.
-
@Bill-C Thanks a lot Bill, really appreciate this.
I have yet another pair of 634 incoming as we speak
… I think I’ll sit this one out. -
@EdH yeah Theshopvancouver has them and they are by far my favorite pair of Iron Heart.

@Brandrea 6ft2 190 and I love the 55 fit

@EdH tempted by this? I certainly am - didn’t know these existed and the thought of adding both a new cut and new denim to my wardrobe is making me seriously dig this. Not sure if you’re UK but it’s £81 for shipping to UK. My only concern is whether they have a thigh measurement more towards the 14” mark. To be continued….

Hopefully this positive response grants the 1955 a seat at the table more often/consistently going forward!
I was musing what denims we could more 1955's with last night
My thoughts...
- XHS
- 18oz vintage
- 17oz natty
While, my personal bias will always have me favoring the XHS, I realize the 18oz is likely the most fitting choice...
-
@long_john86 tempted, but the international shipping and taxes makes it harder to justify. I’ll just wait until IH UK gets another shipment. I was also on a stag do then they dropped and had other things on my mind.
-
@EdH yep soon racks up - I hear ya! Especially after a stag do too!
-
Holy smoly those sold out fast!

I was actually thinking 14oz
Pretty please with sugar and a cherry on top. You know I am in for a pair or four!
-
@long_john86 I had my fingers crossed to see that last, lonely pair of 44s drop off the site!
While I'm sure the order wasn't as big as something like the 634 21oz, it's strangely validating to see how fast these completely sold through.
I genuinely didn't know if it was just a small group of us that were really down for the 1955 cut, or if there was enough appeal to actually justify the production. I'm sure the big concern (rightly) was that despite all of our noise they'd just sit on the site for ages - condemned forever as a bad business move.
Luckily that's not the world we live in.. Team muscular leg may be in the minority, but we have spoken!
-
They sold fast because higher rise straight leg jeans are the best! I held off on this run because 21oz is too hot for the desert but I would definitely be interested in a lighter fabric version. Too bad the vintage 16oz is no more because that fabric has that repro vibe that would pair well with this cut.

The minimum run for jeans is 100, so that is not the gating factor from a production point of view. What is, is our determination about what will satisfy the most people when we release something new or re-release something old.

The return of the OD or the debut(?) of the SBG would be so epic.
Either way, stoked these came back in any capacity. Skateboarders of the world thank you for catering to their insane legs.
The 1955 SBG would be my dream pair of jeans. I missed the UHR so that would be great as well. But for now the 21oz will do!

Would me nice with any of these in OD or the 21oz in OD in this cut.
