Hey Adam, at the risk of being irritating, any sense of when we might see this run of the 21 indigo 1955? Thanks! I’m signed up to be alerted, just wondering.

[AdamJ]

@drewfonse Ask away mate, I appreciate people are looking forward to them!

Our ETA from Japan is the end of this month, but as you may have seen on the forum, these ETA's can shift so, I would say any time from next week to Mid December

@AdamJ

Fabulous, thanks!

I’m considering them because I want the highest rise possible. I love the 888, but I sometimes feel like I want an even higher rise. And maybe slightly more room in the top block. I’ll wait and see on the measurements

My pair I've been wearing for around 2-2.5 years pretty consistently. The 1955S is by far my favorite fit.

To anyone who has both 888s and 1955s, did you go with the same tag size? Looking at the existing size charts it seems like the closest match to my 888s in 33 would be the 1955 in 32.

@briaan

We would advise to wait for the new run of 1955 to arrive and be measured. Chart may need updating as sizing can vary between runs and then we can really give you solid advice.

[briaan]

Aye aye, cap'n. I'll be patient.

[TinMan]

These are the best high rise out there!

@briaan I own both the 1955 21oz and a couple of different versions of the 888, all in size 34, but as Adam mentioned, always best to wait for the size chart.

Any plans for 1955 cut in any other colour than Indigo ? OD ?

[AdamJ]

@Hohba01 21oz OD coming in the next run

[Hohba01]

@AdamJ OD!

@scarfmace

I’ve compared the measurements, do I have a sense, but have you ever tried the 888? I’m just wondering how the 1955 compares in terms of top block specifically, roominess w/ the hip and the higher rise. I’m looking for something a little more forgiving in the top block with a higher rise.

I may be barking up the wrong tree with the 1955.

@drewfonse Hey, I own a pair of 888-14SBG and a pair of 888-UHR, The top block fit is about the same as the 1955, except the 1955 fits slightly higher, around the bellybutton for me. If you wear it a little lower, you get plenty of room in the thigh area but your crotch will also drop a bit.
I find its more comfortable to drop the crotch on the 1955 and wear it relaxed but still fitted then the 888.

The only other difference is that the leg on the 1955 is straight but the 888 tapers a bit. its slightly noticeable and depending on your body time and height, it can work out better. Just note that both still have enough leg opening for boots to be worn under.
