    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.

            Hey Adam, is it realistic to hope that these will be available by the end of the month? Thanks!

              @drewfonse Not looking likely I'm afraid, sorry

                Bummer, ok!

                I know it can be hard to estimate, but the reason I’m trying to determine is that I have 3 pairs of new denim that I’m planning on sending away to be tapered and chainstitch hemmed here in the US. I was hoping to add a pair of the 1955 to that, so I’ve been holding off on sending the 3.

                I’m willing to wait. Like I said, I know it can be hard to estimate. Is beginning of February any more likely?

                Thanks again!

                  I got several 21oz in this cut super stoked for the 14oz and the 21 OD!

                    I wear a 33 in the 634S-B but have a narrow waist (31" on an empty stomach). Am I crazy to think I may be able to go down to a 31 in these?

                    For a bit of context my 634 have stretched to a comfortable 12 6/8" in the thigh and the waist (measured flat, not the IH way) is around 16.4", but it also sits just above my hips, several inches below my navel and I wear a belt to keep it from sliding too low. Meanwhile I own an 888 in a size 33 that, pulled up properly, has 3-4" of room in the waist, so that I can't actually wear it high and it sits at around the same spot on my body as the 634. I can't size down on the 888 because the lower thigh would be way too tight, but given that these don't taper till after the knee I may be ok?

                        Hey @KA56

                        As much as we would like to help you right now, it will be pure speculation with a new run coming. It really is best for the new run to land, be measured and size chart updated and then it will be our absolute pleasure to dive into the sizing with you.

                          Makes sense. Hopefully these stay in stock long enough for some back and forth over sizing!

                            if you're worried, and between two sizes, buy both then worry about sizing afterwards. Worst case you get a full refund if none work

                              And we will also post here as soon as the size chart has been updated which will be a few days before release.

                                Where will the 1955 14oz be posted. Will there be a new thread somewhere? Thanks in advance.

                                    Looking forward to the 1955s-21 too -- anyone know if these are days, weeks, or months out?

                                    Ah, Giles just said 'soon' in another thread!

                                        I only said soon because to answer a similar question last month, @AdamJ said they were unlikely to arrive in December. Unlikely is not no, so there must have been some chance, so they must be soon.....

                                          So we're looking at a potential restock of 1955 in 21oz indigo this month?

                                          I don't have any jeans that currently fit me well. Would supplying a measurement of my thigh suffice? I could provide a measurement of the thigh of my work pants, I suppose.

                                          I'm leaning towards picking up a pair of these based on the straight leg vs the 888s. I don't like the feeling of my calves being constantly hugged. I also miss my IH 21oz denim dearly and would like to put some back in the rotation.

                                          777 fit in heavyweight, plz
