Do I have it right that these will not shrink (even after washing and light drying) due to the overdye process and they'll also stretch out up to an inch with wear?

I have one other IH overdyed pair -- the 88s-21OD. I originally bought the same tag size as my other IH jeans, but found them to be trimmer than usual, in the waist and everywhere else. I ended up selling them and going one size up, which worked out perfectly. Love the overdyed look and feel but want to get the size right, as we all do.

@JohnM essentially yes. They may tighten up slightly from a wash, but not shrink. Any tightness is quickly negated by a wear.

Edit: Yes they will stretch and probably an inch. It’s not an exact science.

[JohnM]

^ Thanks, yes, I've learned that it's always best to trust measurements over tagged size. What I found interesting about my 888s-21OD experience is that it seemed the OD process tightened everything up a bit, not just the waist but legs too. So sizing up worked well. That said, the posted measurements for the 1955s-142OD look a little more generous, so I'll just let the staff know what I'm looking for, rather than focus on the tag.

Question on these. The leather patch, does it allow for a belt to pass through it or is it completely sewn down like the 18oz vintage denim.

I prefer to be able to use the patch as a belt loop

[Jord]

@Ral1121 Keep in mind these are the 14oz and typically don't have that feature... But not sure

edit: After looking at the picture on the product page, looks like it's sewn in like they always do.

edit AGAIN, i think I need glasses because I can't tell someone with better eyesight can chime in....

[Giles]

14oz never has a belt-thru patch

[Ral1121]

@Jord lol I was having the same issues. I could not tell but @Giles has spoken. Thanks for the response

[Ral1121]

One more question for those that wear this cut vs 888.

I have only ever tried 888s and am strongly considering the 1955 and from the compare tool the look for the most part very similar but when comparing recent measurements of 888s to these is seems they have a little more room in the thigh then the 888s. It looks like a lot of 888s have been more on the slightly narrower side then compared to previous releases of the 888.

For those that wear both, how do these compare to the 888s?

[yannis]

Higher front rise and from thigh to knee the 1955 is more straight so you will have more leg room. Where the taper on the 888's starts a couple of inches from the crotch, the 1955 stays straight similar to a 634 and tapers below the knee to hem.
