IH-1955S-142 - 14oz Selvedge Denim "1955" Vintage Tapered Cut Jeans - Indigo
-
@yannis Yeah, thats what I thought. I’m wanting the indigo/black; however it’s currently not available in 1955.
-
@michael.rose0107 . Is the 1955 the only cut you get along with? I am assuming you looking at the 25oz ib denim that comes in every other cut but the 1955. If the high rise is not extremely important to you the 634 or the 888 will do you right. The 888 has more taper and smaller knee measurements and the 634 is a classic straight fit
-
@yannis My first pair was IH-634S, it feels snug in the thigh. Later I bought IH-634D and I sized up and it fits better however I think the canvas is giving it more structure. I decided to try 1955 and currently breaking it in.
-
If you want Ib sizing up on 634 maybe your play. The 25oz is will also feel structured. Its heavier and stiffer than the 21oz. The 888 will taper pretty meaningfully from mid thigh to knee so it will feel tighter from about 3 inches down the crotch to knee than the 634.
-
@yannis Thanks for the advice. I appreciate it!

@michael.rose0107. Anytime my man!

Well I bit the bullet on a size 30 from Guilty Party, here in the US. Mainly because the size 30 in the 14oz measures a little smaller than the 21oz 1955, which I originally bought but were too big.
And I’m sure that I’m imagining things, but when comparing this to an existing pair of the 888 142s which has been barely worn, this feels thicker. I can tell when I cuff it, etc. I triple checked and it’s slightly heftier. The weight almost feels in between the 14oz and flagship 21oz. Either way, perfect.
Just a great cut. I appreciate the extra inch of front rise, the ever so slightly narrower hips, etc. They fit me better than the 888, I think.
And the leg opening is still somewhat tapered, but not oddly so. I really hope we see this model across more fabrics in the next few years, sounds like we might. Terrific.

@Michael_W IH-1955S-142 is the next one, hopefully soon July/August time and then IH-1955S-SB around October/November time.

That’s a pretty quick restock turn around on these 142’s!
