    I am of the opinion that in the 1955 cut, the only measurement that will be relevant for the majority, is the waist, as they have very generous thigh and knee measurements. I have no personal aspiration for this cut as I like knee and hem measurements as close as possible but it seems to me that is the easiest cut to get right because the thigh and knee shouldn't be a limiting factor for most people.

      @JohnM said in IH-1955S-OD - 21oz Selvedge Denim "1955" Vintage Tapered Cut Jeans - OD Black:

      An obvious but important point about sizing up is that it’s not only the waist that gets bigger but everything else too.

      Only if they are put under pressure, clearly. If you size up so much that no pressure is applied to the thigh at all, it will not stretch

        ^ Right Alex. I was just referring to the overall measurements, which all start out a touch larger as you move up in size.

          @yannis I would agree, with the caveat that someone who struggles with thigh measurements should still size these based on leg rather than waistband.

          They're bigger than the 634 but not so much bigger that they can be treated as a relaxed cut where waistband is all that matters.

          And also as pointed out, little to no pressure on a part of the garment = little to no stretch there.

            @KA56 Agreed, as someone who struggles with the thighs usually, that's how I sized these. Had to ask the crew for the biggest thigh measurement

              Agreed with all of the above that's why I said for most people.

                  Pleased my traditional size 36 worked out in these. Thankful for restock notifications as I was desperate for a pair after picking up the 1955s. Definitely my new favorite cut. More mobility than the 888 and that's saying something. Now it just needs to warm up enough to hang up XHS for the season.

                    Adding to the "same size or different" I'll add a little data. I just got my 1955S OD yesterday, and as usual, first thing I did was a hot wash and hot dry cycle inside out. I like to get it a little softer this way and it kicks off the roping effect on the new hem.

                    I didn't measure ahead, but after the waist on the 32 measured all the way down to just above a 30" waist. After a day of wearing it, it's all the way back to a 33" waist, and all the measurements are exactly the same as my 1955S non-OD from a few years ago. Or at least within margin. Now, of course, denim stretches with use, and depending on fit, lots of different sizes work. I have other pairs of high-rise Oni denim that fit comfortably at 34" cause of how much that stuff stretches. So people sizing up a size, I think you'll be happy too, both options will work imo.

                      These diappeared so fast! Is there any chance of another restock soon-ish?

                        @CloakAndGrime I;m afraid not bud.

                        14oz Indigo however coming around August / September and then any 21oz / 21oz OD will be after that.

                          Haven't taken these off since I got them in- Texas humidity be damned. Paired today with the 14oz OD type III. Im pleasantly surprised with how well the higher rise and longer jacket interact.

                          The indigo pair is sitting in my closet untouched for now, and I may bring them out for this year's indigo invitational.

                            @KA56 I LOVE the combination of the two overdyed garments with that shirt. Extremely cool. I want to get the 1955od also next drop, rocking my indigos all the time

                              @Graham I love how we are in this cycle of the heavy stuff coming out in the spring and the light weight stuff coming out in the fall. lol

                                @Go-For-Chill In the IH world 21oz is more like a mid weight 🤣

                                  Stoked on this fit! Got my usual size of 35, pretty much the same size in every cut (Aside from the ones my thighs won't fit into)

                                    Side note- I was trying to figure out what I like about these so much more than my 888S-21. I think I figured it out, the back pockets are significantly closer together on the 1955's than the 888's!

                                        For those familiar with Iron Heart's 21 oz. denim in OD and indigo versions, would you size up one size for the OD version here? I know that some of you did this with the OD version of the 888S-21 and it worked out well.

                                          @JohnM. There is no cookie cutter answer to your question. The Iron Heart sizing guide is the most reliable tool to help with that decision. In some runs and cuts the regular versio and the OD versions are pretty close in measurements and you can take the same tag size. In some other instances you may need to size up as the OD version has smaller measurements.
