IH-1955S
-
got mine today, looks wicked wicked wicked
-
Any chance the 1955 will come in an OD or Raw version?
-
But, because the rise is higher than the rise on the 634S, the waist band sits higher up Tinmans torso. i.e more on the waist than the hips….Tinman is one of those lucky individuals whose waist is smaller than his hips....
Oh, that's interesting, hope I got the right size, then. They should be here by the end of the week, will post updates.

Hey guys, JUST got home and am troubleshooting some work stuff while I'm typing this but I promised fit pics!
Sorry for the sloppy shirt tuck on the shot of the rear.
Impressions in a minute, have to get some work done.

Overall I think it's a fantastic jean but I don't think this fit is for me. I had forgotten how awesome it was to receive a pair of raw denim from IH
I thought that I wanted a wider thigh, but these made me realize how much I like the thigh fit on my 634S (http://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=293.msg99632#msg99632). The rise is a bit higher than I'd like as well.
I guess, in short (sorry, I'm typing while I've got 10 people talking to me over my headset), if you need a looser fit than the 634S, and you like a higher front/rear rise, this is your jean.
Sorry Giles, but I think I'm going to send these back
Good news for those of you that wanted a size 34 I'm now planning on saving for the 25oz 634S when it comes out

seriously paul i think it looks great and coming from a guy that is trying to get hold of that size you know i am telling the truth.
it looks like how a 55 should be. remember its still ridged and will settle down and soften with wear so it doesn't seem so boxy which is what i think your worried about. look at the back pocket of your old 634s, see how much that has shaped to your body compare to the new. the same will happen with this pair if you do give it a chance.

Haha, I appreciate your honesty in light of your wanting a pair
I think I know what you're saying, but I could tell with the 634S right away that I loved the fit. While I love the color of these (they seem darker than the 634S were brand new) and the feel and heft, I just don't love the fit on me. I bet a lot of you will. Actually I'm willing to bet that I'll be one of the very few that returns a pair, as I think most of the other people who bought them knew exactly what they were getting.
Another thing that I just realized, as I'm mulling over your comment, but after trying them on, I realize how much I do like the 634S fit. I only need one everyday pair of jeans and if I were to keep the 1955S, I would really have to sell the 634S or else I wouldn't wear either enough to warrant the expense (especially since I just picked up a pair of 801s, too!), and I like the 634S too much to part with them.
I feel really bad about returning them
But I'll be happy if it means one of you guys who really wanted a 34 can pick them up!
