@JunkPants I think I’ll take a different approach to repairs next time around, as with the 1955’s above.

Triple knees though; there’s an idea!

@scooter those look marvelous Scott. It would be cool to see the back of them too!

Sorry, Stevie. I meant to share this sooner, but life got in the way...

Here's 1955 and 888 to compare. Thought folks would think this is interesting. Posted it in another thread, but figured it fit here too...

Tried to make the pics as similar as possible. Size 32 1955 21oz indigo vs Size 33 888 21oz indigo; both are hemmed to 30". Very similar fit, but 888 narrows at the knee, which changes the shape of the entire leg. 1955 is like a big tube leg (unless you size down, to get a slimmer look). If both were size 33, the difference in appearance would be substantial, as compared to this, which is more subtle. In my assessment overall, though the measurements between 1955 and 888 look close on paper, the 888 has less volume than 1955 in virtually every proportion of the entire jean. I think a size 31 1955 and this size 33 888 would fit me almost the same tbh. Lemme know what you think of this comparison. Many of you probably have more experience with both these cuts than I.

are these getting restocked this year? I love a higher rise IH.

[JoshC]

Hey @nomadic the 21oz isn't getting restocked this year but hopefully next year we will see another restock, but we will be getting the 14oz around August/September time

Wearing these today as my main project is getting a much needed soak right now... Crazy how comfy relaxed fitting 21oz is when you come from 555s-19L

Any ideas when these will come back in stock? I’m really keen to give them a try. Unfortunately because of getting into weight training I can no longer fit into 888s as they’re too tight on my upper legs. I’m a w33. Anyone with experience of 1955 any chance they give more thigh and quad room compared to 888? It looks like thigh measures slightly less on these but generally top block is a little bigger so thought they might work! So sad that no iron heart cuts seem to work for me. Best I’ve found is Samurai s3100 which fit me great although I’d prefer more of a taper

@wildeep see here regarding a restock

A little update on the 1955's after our trip out West. Things are happening.
