Great news that Lagavulin are doing a pop-up at the IH Hackney Xmas party - should be a smoky gathering

I have given some thought to what the cut number for this will be.

I think it's different enough from 634 that—unlike the 463 and 633—a minor rejiggling/editing of "634" will not be used.

If I were a betting man, my money would be on 999.

And my branding would be: "Help! These hefty thighs can't breathe!" —Better call 999.

I am available for freelance consulting, though please be forewarned that my fees are exorbitant.

I am sorry to disappoint, the number has already been chosen.....

[nurunuru]

@Giles ...but it's not 999? Peculiar.

I'm hoping the number will be some clever Japanese way of saying "wide boy", like how 634 is a reference to Musashi.

Back when I lived in Japan, there was a ramen joint near me with a big sign outside reading "328". I went in and got a bowl one day cos I thought that was the price, but it turned out it was just their way of writing their name, "Mitsuya".

Scammed.

After that I decided that, if I ever opened my own ramen shop, it would be called, "今日だけ！１００円ラーメン" / "Kyou dake! Hyaku-en ramen"

(Today only! 100 yen ramen)

I did not actually say that I do not confirm or deny.....

[hello_4lex]

@Giles any rough idea on when we might get another update on possible release time frames for the new cut? Obviously not asking to flat out say when these are scheduled for, just wondering when the team might be planning to release the next little tidbit of info

[Giles]

@alex will have a far better idea than me. I'm just wearing the sample pair

Sorry

[Tago Mago]

@Giles 501? Sounds perfect for a pair of jeans

[Giles]

@Tago-Mago What a great idea, sure it has not been used before....

[worn2fade]

Please tell me these will have a higher rise than the 634

[worn2fade]

Just saw the size chart on original post lol, not high enough

[hello_4lex]

@worn2fade I’d love to see a pair with a rise like my vintage fit Orslow fatigues (14” front/18” back!), but I mean to be fair, they’re jeans ‍️‍️. I’d be plenty fine with the extra 1.5-2” in my size on the rise. I’m not necessarily looking to yank my pants up above my belly button, just looking to avoid crushing my family jewels haha

[worn2fade]

@hello_4lex yeah man, for me I need a rise at the 12.25” mark at least for a size 34. The 888 cut fits me beautifully - I just wish there was a cut that fit like 888 on top but had a 634 leg. People always refer me to the 1955’s but to be honest the measurements are externally similiar to 888’s aside from the rise.

[hello_4lex]

@worn2fade I’ve seen the 1955 Reco as well for myself, unfortunately just unable to source a pair whenever I’m able to buy!

[nurunuru]

I am all about the low-to-mid rise.

Maybe a nice little red tag on the back pocket, too? What could go wrong?

[worn2fade]

@nurunuru boooo

Here’s some useless information for you. The Red Tag without the name Levis is what the registered trademark is. In. Order to maintain this 10% of all Levis garments just/must have a red tag with the letter R in a circle. In case you ever come across this.
