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

[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

[FlavourFade]

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.

@derek111 those are looking great man!

If I was looking for a pair of 634 with a high raise are these really the answer? When I compare the measurements of my 888 and these the hem is even smaller on the 1955

[catdad1]

@m4xime I can't speak for the 634 but owning a couple pairs in both the 888 and 1955 I believe my hem on the 1955 is wider. I usually opt for them when I know I'll need the extra mobility during the day. I can measure when I get home.

[m4xime]

@catdad1 I think it will likely be because the 1955s only taper below the knee vs the 888s mid thigh. So for a guy like me (174cm/5.8ft) it could work as I won't be deep into the taper even if the hem is smaller on 1955 vs 888 I might end up with a wider hem on the 1955s

[catdad1]

@m4xime 888 hem came in about .5" smaller to the 1955 at 31" inseam for me. These are both OD but the standard indigos should translate. Also 888 overlayed on top of 1955 to see the difference.

[m4xime]

@catdad1 Thank you for these, appreciate it. Looks like there isn't much in it at all at the hem but the whole leg is a bit wider all the way down.

[nomadic]

@m4xime i'm in the same boat.. i like the 634 cut in general but the rise is so short. 888 hem is small so 1955 hopefully works.

[m4xime]

@nomadic I think the hem on 1955 doesn't improve it that much. I think I might wait for the new cut which has a higher rise than 634 and a straight relaxed leg. My 888S will be my work jeans and new cut could be the weekend slot.

@m4xime what is this mythical new cut you speak of?

[Tago Mago]

@jfive67 this

[m4xime]

@jfive67 This one

[jfive67]

@Tago-Mago @m4xime oh baby - thanks for the link. I wish these had the high rise of 1955 but seems close enough

[m4xime]

Anyone here with a pair of these in a 32? Looking after a specific measurement

[pdee]

@m4xime I have a pair, happy to help with any questions you have

[m4xime]

@pdee Amazing thank you, could you give me the leg opening measurement at 27" down from the inseam please? This is where I'd hem mine so curious how that compares to the 7.5" of my 888
