IH-1955S - 21oz Selvedge Denim "1955" Vintage Tapered Cut Jeans - Indigo
-
Everyone knows I love the 1955s my favorite cut. I also wear 888s. Measurements are close. I am size 34, I have super long legs and a short torso. IMHO the silhouette is totally different VS the 888s, Especially from the side profile. 1955s is slimmer looking from a side profile. Front profile the 1955s look a little fuller from the hip to the knee, especially mid thigh to knee. It then tapers nicely from knee to the hem. If you got long legs with a short torso this is a great cut.
I feel like the 888s is way more relaxed through seat into the into mid thigh. Mid thigh is kind of where the taper starts continues through the knee to the hem. 888s to me has a slimmer front profile due to the taper starting mid thigh, but 888s I think has a fuller side profile due to a more relaxed seat and crotch area.
I like having both in the closet. Even though they close in measurements their silhouette on the body is different enough to have one of each.

@TinMan. So based on your experience with both cuts you think the top block of the 888 is looser than the 1955?
-
@scooter yes, good comparison. 1955s and 888s cuts are equally very nice cuts for people who like medium to high rise, and different enough silhouette you can definitely justify having one of each in the arsenal. Can’t wait for the 1955s 14oz, and then the OD. Fantastic!
Now, I have an IRONHEART!!

Hey Adam, at the risk of being irritating, any sense of when we might see this run of the 21 indigo 1955? Thanks! I’m signed up to be alerted, just wondering.

@drewfonse Ask away mate, I appreciate people are looking forward to them!
Our ETA from Japan is the end of this month, but as you may have seen on the forum, these ETA's can shift so, I would say any time from next week to Mid December
The devil is in the detail..

Fabulous, thanks!
I’m considering them because I want the highest rise possible. I love the 888, but I sometimes feel like I want an even higher rise. And maybe slightly more room in the top block. I’ll wait and see on the measurements

My pair I've been wearing for around 2-2.5 years pretty consistently. The 1955S is by far my favorite fit.

To anyone who has both 888s and 1955s, did you go with the same tag size? Looking at the existing size charts it seems like the closest match to my 888s in 33 would be the 1955 in 32.
