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

How much will the thigh stretch on ih? I find it difficult to fit my thighs which nornally need 14.5 but waist is 35 i think the 1955 36 should fit after they stretch
-
@Streetninja007 You can't really put a figure on it and you should know if they are for you or not once you put them on and if they are a tiny but snug they may relax a bit with wear but if they are too small to begin with then they will always be.
-
@Streetninja007..You are trying to go from a 13.8 inch thigh to a 14.5. That is asking for alot. I had similar issues in the past and trial and error taught me that I never get more than 0.4 to 0.5 stretch on the thigh..So I think you need to go tag 36.

@yannis thank you for the input ya im struggling in the denim world finding ones that fit bigger thighs and not a huge waist
-
I like that the 1955 is described as being extremely flattering on a variety of body types. Hopefully that includes short legged people because I’m one of them. The most flattering pics I’ve seen have been of taller people with this. I don’t care though, my stumpy little ass will be trotting these out at work as soon as I get them. I’m excited.
-
@drewfonse Yeah it's interesting, as a smaller/average person myself I also tend to find pictures of normal people help me better in my decisions. For example, what sold me on these is actually the pictures @JoshC shared higher up in this thread and the direct comparison with a pair of 888 and both of these pairs being worn and cut to the right length etc
-
I understand these are once washed, however, would you (hot) soak them before the first wear or just get going right out the envelope
-
@Alexander 21oz and you can wear them out of the bag. I always do.
-
@Alexander Do you want crisp fades or vintage? If you want crisp, best to just wear right away. I like vintage fades so I always wash and dry my raw denim to get any starch out and the top layer of indigo, and then keep washing and drying regularly.

@thevintagefuture No other stockists took them this time around. Your buddy would need to add their email address to the restock notification on the website by clicking on the tag 34 button, in the hope of a return.

@AdamC thanks for the help! Ok, I'll let him know. I'm super stoked I got a pair though. Totally new to Iron Heart.
-
@ShopatIronHeart Do we already know what denim this cut will next be available in?
I could always order from The Shop but I don't feel great buying jeans that have been shipped from Japan to the UK to Canada and then back to the UK to me.

@Graham the 14oz sounds cool! Is there a page or thread where I can get detailed descriptions of each IH denim fabric? I found the thread for it on here with the link to the Duck and Denim Fabrics webpage, but it just shows basic specs, as opposed to how the fabrics wear and feel and break in. I looked at the Hall of Fades too, which is super amazing and helpful, but I was more looking for descriptions of how the fabrics act and perform etc. Thanks!

@thevintagefuture not currently, we had a really bad page that didnt do a very good job of describing what you are after that we took offline a couple of weeks back. We are getting close to launching a new version of the site, and the new version of this will be visible once we migrate. In the meantime email us, or ask any questions you have on the forum and we can let you know

@Alex ok cool! Thanks for the help! Looking forward to that new webpage.
