IH-1955S - 21oz Selvedge Denim "1955" Vintage Tapered Cut Jeans - Indigo

@Giles I believe I remember you saying once that Haraki was originally not a huge fan of the 1955 cut because it didn't feel as original of an IH cut to him. Did he eventually change his mind? Is the 1955 being introduced into more cuts just an outside Japan thing? Sorry if you've already addressed this before.
-
He has nothing against the cut per se, but he does dislike it as an Iron Heart cut, and he has not changed his mind. Everything to do with the 1955 was originally driven by me, and now Alex. The 1955 is being made in a few different denims (all initiated by Alex), and it is highly unlikely they will go on sale in Japan
-
Fascinating... I'm endlessly entertained by the Japan/UK dynamic. Thank you Giles and Alex for pushing to get this cut a much wider rollout, it's a pretty badass cut!
-
Yeah that’s pretty interesting. The 1955 is by far one of my favorite cuts from IH
-
@jfive67 if only they came in Black fade to gray
-
Someone may correct me if i’m wrong, but i feel like the 1955was a fairly slow seller in the early days. Perhaps it will fare better now there’s been a shift in popularity away from very slim styles and towards straight or more roomy cuts.
Sporadic visitor.

@Giles I know that feeling. In a previous job, on the windowsill behind me i kept a "comedy" pair of glasses and small snowglobe. Anyone that moaned about our forecasting skills we referred them to try on our "hindsight glasses" and use the "crystal ball".
I find the hindsight glasses were used much more. Everyone's quick to have an opinion of what you SHOULD have done.

@RocknRoll My thoughts exactly. Skinny jeans are out. Trends come and go, but fashion always centers back to the classic silhouettes and comfortable fits. So glad we’re back!
