@EdH Thanks brother!
-
@AdamC Thanks brother! Thanks to someone up above in this thread I got mine at The Shop Vancouver. They may still have inventory.
-
@EdH I second this! bit of facial hair jealousy going on hahaha
also @mdavidson I love the western sorta vibe you have going with the jeans - it's absolutely killer. I hope to do the same.
-
@thevintagefuture does The Shop hem for free?
-
@jischwar I'm pretty sure they do
@thevintagefuture thanks man! I really like this cut. I'm excited to see how they wear in. I think with the rise they won't pull so hard on the crotch so I'm hoping I can get more life out of these. My other ones were on their last leg lol
-
@mdavidson cheers! I was fortunate enough to grab both my pairs from the .com, but I'll keep that in mind for the future
-
@jischwar No, it was $22 for me. I'd prefer included for purchases but ah well.
-
@rydor thanks for the confirmation. Glad I scored mine direct and included the hemming.

@jischwar Please double check on that. I just looked and it may incur a fee (almost certain). Please let me know if I’m wrong.
Looks like @rydor confirmed that there is in fact a charge
-
@jischwar The Shop charges about $20USD to hem
-
Despite the hem charge, the jeans themselves are currently about $20USD cheaper on The Shop website vs the IH website for some reason. $361 vs the standard $385. So that's strange, but cool for us haha

Alsoooooo I was pleasantly surprised to find IH's sizing charts to be super accurate, like essentially perfect! Mind blown. Even after my initial cold wash that I do with my jeans, these 1955s didn't shrink at all, which means IH's one cold wash they do to these before sale is thorough...This is probably normative, but as someone trying their very first IH jeans after trying many other brands, I am astounded at how incredibly precise IH's sizing and shrinkage data is. Good job IH team
-
@thevintagefuture wait while you have to deal with @ShopatIronHeart the best customer service I’ve ever come across in all my 39 years. Hands down.

@thevintagefuture The 888 has a higher rise than other IH offerings (1955 excepted) and more room in the hip and seat. The leg however tapers hard from crotch to knee, making it more of a slim jean for big legs than a proper roomy cut.
Personally, at thighs pushing 25" and a natural waist around 31", I found the 634 to be a more comfortable big leg fit than the 888. The low rise wasn't ideal, but the extra room in the lower thigh made them so much easier to move in than the 888, which felt like they were grabbing my knees every time I climbed a flight of stairs.
The 1955 really combines the best of both cuts.
-
@KA56 thanks for the info! I've been studying the sizing charts for all of these, but how they act and look on-body is a whole different story. So I appreciate the descriptions.
-
Still having trouble finding a good fit with the 1955! Look at the knees, should I have sized down maybe? Or does it just need time to soften up more?
