Which IH fits like Edwin ED-55 / Regular Taper?
-
Hi All, very new here, never worn Iron Heart because my Edwins have done me well. However, I'm considering a pair. I wondered whether anyone has experience of Edwin ED-55, or the newer 'Regular Taper' they do, in comparison to Iron Heart. The 55s fit me well. Taper is nice and leaves a bit of room in the thigh. Their slim taper fits ok too but not as well. Any ideas? My 55s here, last July, just to make the post more interesting!

I would recommend measuring them and comparing them to the size charts, starting w a tapered cut like the 888, 777, or no lot.
Nice pair of Edwins!

Yeah I used to like the ED-55 cut and I reckon the 777 is your best bet. IIRC the 777 is probably slightly tighter in thigh and a little looser in hem than the ED-55, but only marginally.
I still think Edwin’s are some of the best bang for buck pair of jeans around. Saying that, I jumped into IH via Edwin and haven’t looked back. Good luck! -

You guys may already know, but Haraki used to do work with/for Edwin many moons ago.
He was a pattern designer if I remember right?
