        Coming back to IH after some time away. I miss my IH 777 21oz dearly, but they don't fit anymore after taking up weight lifting a couple years ago....

        Is the 1955S cut the most roomy jeans through the thigh (relative to the waist measurement) that IH offers?

        777 fit in heavyweight, plz

        Wish list:
        IHSH-75-IND
        IHJ-85-BLK

          @FlannelnBooze the 1955 and the 888 are very similar, the 1955 slightly higher in the rise and wider in the leg.

          Comparison of the main cuts found here: https://www.ironheart.co.uk/content/cut-comparison

            @Alex ahh I'd missed that comparison chart. Will the 1955s be added to that chart? Curious how the seat / thigh area compare between them and the 888s.

            My local IH stockist doesn't carry 888s or 1955s, but I may have to swing by soon enough to discuss.

              The chart only contains our 'core' cuts, and we don't consider the 1955 one of those, at the moment. If it becomes one, we will

                @FlannelnBooze you might prefer the 888 over the 1955 anyway, since like the 777 it also has a taper from the knee

                          Everyone knows I love the 1955s my favorite cut. I also wear 888s. Measurements are close. I am size 34, I have super long legs and a short torso. IMHO the silhouette is totally different VS the 888s, Especially from the side profile. 1955s is slimmer looking from a side profile. Front profile the 1955s look a little fuller from the hip to the knee, especially mid thigh to knee. It then tapers nicely from knee to the hem. If you got long legs with a short torso this is a great cut.

                          I feel like the 888s is way more relaxed through seat into the into mid thigh. Mid thigh is kind of where the taper starts continues through the knee to the hem. 888s to me has a slimmer front profile due to the taper starting mid thigh, but 888s I think has a fuller side profile due to a more relaxed seat and crotch area.

                          I like having both in the closet. Even though they close in measurements their silhouette on the body is different enough to have one of each.

                          Now, I have an IRONHEART!!

                                @TinMan. So based on your experience with both cuts you think the top block of the 888 is looser than the 1955?

                                  I can say yes, based on how the different cuts fit my body type. 888s comparison Pics forthcoming.

                                    My 2¢... Top block comparison

                                    1955 = flat front
                                    888 = pleated

                                    Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind.

                                      @scooter yes, good comparison. 1955s and 888s cuts are equally very nice cuts for people who like medium to high rise, and different enough silhouette you can definitely justify having one of each in the arsenal. Can’t wait for the 1955s 14oz, and then the OD. Fantastic!

                                        Are these exclusive to IH uk? Love that cut from pictures but can't really say if I like it on me without trying on.
