IH-1955S-142od - 14oz Selvedge Denim "1955" Vintage Tapered Jeans - Indigo Overdyed Black

[Ral1121]

What would be the best approach for tomorrow’s release?

I am in between sizes and am looking for the following.

Waist: 35.5
Thigh: 13.8-14

Should I go for a size 35 and ask for an outlier to the larger side in thigh measurement or go 36 and ask for an outlier to the smaller side in waist measurement?

I do like the slightly smaller top block with the shorter rise of the 35 but the majority of the time the limiting factor is my thighs.

I am trying to prevent the extra material in the top block to fit my thigh and waist measurement. Not wanting the diaper look lol.

If you want to be super safe, order a 35 and a 36, add this as a note in your order, then ask us to refund you for the pair you dont take prior to shipping (you will be out of pocket for ~24h). If you don't want to do that, then I think 35 with a larger thigh is safer

[JohnM]

Quick question: Does the overdye process change the texture of the denim (e.g., softer)?

[AdamJ]

@JohnM I have the regular and overdyed 19oz left hand twill in hand currently and the overdyed pair is noticeably softer and more supple

[harleylawhorn]

In the sample pictures, are they hemmed, which is making the yellow thread so bright because new stitching? @Alex

[Alex]

Correct - we hem with the correct colour thread to match the indigo jeans, as once the black fades a bit anything else looks wrong. If you prefer a different colour thread, you can specify that in a note at checkout

I’ve always wanted to try this cut looking forward to it!

[Ral1121]

@Anesthetist same here hopefully the team can find a pair that meets what I am looking for as I was between sizes. I really only have this cut or the 888s as options for me.

[Anesthetist]

@Ral1121 if it can be done, you know they will!

How I would love a pair of 1955 in indigo XHS and 21oz (or 14oz) black. Perhaps the resurgence of interest in this fit will bring us more choices? I daily light incense to the denim kamis. Just sayin'.

Just got my pair in today and the fit is spot on. I also have never felt a pair that is so soft to start. Almost feel very light to the 18 and 21oz I wore until they were to large as I have lost weight. Feel like nothing compared to my 25oz samurai’s I am currently wearing.

Fit pics or it didn't happen.

Incredible feel of these bad boys. First 14 oz. Really soft and light but tough. With high rise was able to size down into a 32.1 from my normal 32.5-33 fit. Side note, I’m amazed out this Tochigi belt is fully in stock. I know it’s not the quintessential square buckle but this thing slaps. Might post in that thread as well.

Just got my pair. This fabric is absolutely fantastic. Incredibly soft. I feel bad for my other jeans as they are surely going to be neglected.

After trying them on, my wife even said “you should get those in other colors.” Don’t have to tell me twice!

[JohnM]

For those with experience, would you expect ANY inseam shrinkage at all with these overdyed jeans, even with a warm wash and time in the dryer? I know the dryer is ill advised, but sometimes they have a mind of their own and end up there ...

[profdbrk]

@JohnM , it's been my experience that the OD versions are particularly less vulnerable to shrinkage even if they end up in the dryer. There will be the usual reversion from the stretch that comes with wearing but that will open up again. So I'd say don't worry about it even a little.

[Anesthetist]

@JohnM what @profdbrk said. The OD process pretty much kills any potential for shrinkage.
The product page lists the crazy process

Even George Costanza could wear these in the pool and not have shrinkage

My big concern for the dryer and OD would be the potential for marbling

[Anesthetist]

Here’s my pair, I’m pretty happy with them although I had forgotten how black a new pair of OD are. I feel like I’m rocking dress pants!
