@Paul9221 @Giles maybe I'm wrong but the 1955 slubby will be exclusive for the shop vancouver, no?
Huge fan of TSV! They clearly have good taste

@thevintagefuture thank you Sir! And they are getting better every day. It’s nice to start off with a new 21oz pair knowing where things are going.

Jumped on that one-off size 34 restock. These are a bit boxier than my overdyed pair in the same tag size but I'm guessing that'll settle with some wear and a hot wash or two.
Love this cut so much!

It was time for a wash, this weekend. It left me wondering how long I've had this as my primary pair. I checked my order history, and it turns out it's been longer than I thought. These landed on my doorstep more than 5 years ago. I have no idea how many wears. But, since I wash about twice a year, they've likely gotten wet 10 - 12 times...
Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind.

I think the clearest I can be on the 1955 is as follows:
The cut is going to become more core; that is to say, we will make it in more denims over the next few years. That said, just because we decide its core on Monday, does not mean that by Friday we can agree to run it in every denim we also call core - this will take time. Further, we have a limited production capacity for jeans, that is currently at over 100%, so for every new 1955 iteration we want to add to the line, we either have to drop something else from the line, or accept that everything will be further delayed.
When it comes to possibly dropping something else to make way for the 1955S-xxx, then what should we drop? The problem is that all our cuts are pretty popular. If we look at total sales of jeans from 2019-2024, the most popular cut in that period accounted for 21.8% of jeans sales. The least popular cut (not inc boot cuts) accounted for 19% of total jeans sales, so it's not like we can safely say "trend is moving to wider pants, lets kill the slim jeans" which is oft suggested helpfully by people on social media.
As to a final point on this specific denim, I think its a toss up to be honest on how soon we do it, if we do it. One side of the coin is that the 'vintage tapered' cut probably lends itself to other core fabrics in the line up more than it does to an indigo black denim. The other side of the coin is that the factory that makes 14oz jeans is less busy than the one that makes heavyweight jeans, so it may be slightly easier to do.
And to add, the % breakdowns above are just our direct sales, it does not take into account global volume to retailers around the world. For eg, in Thailand and Indonesia, two of out top 10 most sold to wholesale countries, sell massively more 555 than any other cut, so we still have to run the jeans to support them even if we see a decline in popularity in the West

@Alex thanks

@Autorotate , I replied to your message from 3 days ago asking if I had these in a 34 waist, that I would be willing to let go of.

I took these off yesterday only to discover that the knee has gone, and I have three crotch blowouts!
58 days wear. I’m thinking maybe I should wash them already just to prolong their life.
