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.

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

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

@derek111 love how they sit on you!!

@lauclive probably, at some point, yes
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.

@Alexander
They look great on you, I really like that tattoo on your arm too looks like there's insane detail.Cheers

@Jord thanks! Its been 4 years since I got the tattoo of Hubert Auriol winning Dakar on BMW in 1984 and I’m still amazed myself everytime
I look at it
this is a picture taken when still quite fresh but to my surprise it hasn’t changed much at all…

I can't remember when I last posted a photo on the forums (terribly sorry, life happens), but I had to post on this thread.
I'm a huge fan of the 888. Have so many pairs of them! But, something about the 1955 kept calling me. I pulled the trigger on them and I'm so glad I did!
I didn't think I could like a cut more than the 888, but IH did it again! The high front rise on these is stellar, and makes the whole pant feel better IMO. I would instantly pick these up in the brown duck or black (or OD)!
If your size is still available, don't sleep on these!

Oh, funny story about these. I had a really tough time with the top button on these. Not because they were too tight in the waist, but because the button hole was pretty small. But this isn't my first rodeo. Button, unbutton, repeat until things get easy.
Unfortunately, I buttoned and got distracted by a phone call. Spent about 1.5 hours on that call. I hung up only because I had to go to the bathroom so badly. Problem is, I didn't perform the button/unbutton strategy I've deployed so many times in the past. This was the first time unbuttoning these especially stubborn pair, and it wasn't happening.
So I'm standing in the kitchen, in desperation, clawing at the button with a butter knife and praying. Took about 10 minutes but I'm happy to report that I have yet to mess myself in these pants, but who knows what the future holds!
