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

[yannis]

Some of us do not like the higher rise. I am 6 foot 240 pounds athletic build also, and I like the 634 better. The combination of high rise and the bigger taper from knee to hem is not my thing. Different strokes for different folks.

Thanks for the replies! I am going to research the 634 a bit more I just thought the reduced rise would be an issue but maybe if I wear them lower or find the right measurements it would work. I do agree about the bottom taper as I wish the 1955 tapered just a bit more. You might have just changed my view on the 634 much appreciated.

What about the 888 does not work for you

[yannis]

You misunderstood me. The 634 tapers Less from knee to hem and that is something that I like. If you like more taper @Alex guide you to the 888 that does exactly that. 6 foot 1 and 215 pounds i don't see why you couldn't have a nice fit on an 888 .

[bonzo40]

Thanks so much to all. Newbie here and I really appreciate it. I just looked at the 888 again and you’re right that might be an even better cut for me.

if you have not already

No problem buddy. The 888 is a modern cut aiming at people with bigger thighs. Just make sure the measurement at the knee agrees with you. The 888 tapers from mid thigh to knee and the 1955 is not, so the knee measurement of the 888 will be smaller than the 1955. If you are ok there you will enjoy them as they look smarter.

[bonzo40]

I snagged the last pair of 888 in my size from Iron Shop Provisions. IH-888S-142. High hopes.

[yannis]

Nice @bonzo40. What tag size are you. Hope you get pleasantly surprised

[bonzo40]

Size 36. The thigh measurement may be an issue but I’m going to give it a try.

Already have to many jeans but if XHS/UHR comes out in 1955 i will not be able to resist buying at least one pair.

I too hope we see a heavyweight 1955. This is my best cut. I hope the recent sell out provides some impetus. I need no more jeans likely ever (rotation + age = IH is in my will, not just my closet). But a UHR/XHS...oh yeah.

hell yea!

Super happy with the 1955 cut - love the vintage look with the higher waste. Super comfortable top block with the slight taper to the bottom will make for a very versatile pair in my rotation

@Alexander These look very smart on you, unlike mine.
