Time For a New Jeans Cut….

[Dion]

I hope the thighs will be more 634 like.

[David K.K. Hansen]

I'm quietly hoping the thighs are more akin to the 1955 than the 634

All will be revealed…...

Sounds perfect!

Right so all I need to do to get the Sherpa lined trucker jacket made is get Giles drunk! Why didn't someone tell me this before!

Evidence suggests you may have to be ginger too.

I don't want it that bad….

[Megatron1505]

It was G's idea, I just provided some input and a sounding board for the constant swearing and abuse 

[neph93]

^ I don't care who came up with it, it's a bloody great idea (I tabled it on the forum a few weeks ago and can't have been the first). The fact that it's conception was a beer-fueled NYE/Gav's 40th will mean that should the jeans get made that evening will become legen…..

[neph93]

….dary.

Man, I loved that show

@Giles:

New jeans cut.

Higher rise than IH-634 - particularly at the back.

More taper from the knee than the 634.

this interests me greatly

Great news regarding the new cut. There has been quite an amount of suggestions / wishes for a such cut so I hope it will sell well and offer a lot of denims over time. I would assume the 21oz will be the first run…?

Agreed! Fingers crossed for retailer interest also.

@Max:

I hope so. I haven't had indigo 21oz in rotation for over a year and I miss it.

So excited about this.

Yep

Yep

Obviously this is right at the beginning of a long process, but based on previous experience (777's) what's the ballpark timeframe from conception to realisation? 6 months, a year?

[spitfiredealer]

Hope there is enough of a taper left when they get hemmed to say 32-34 leg.

[Giles]

1. If we want to have selvedge side seams and a proper cut, there is a limit to the taper that can be given to the jean.  To have selvedge side seams, the outseam HAS to be parallel, so you have to take the taper off the inseam, take too much and the cut is a joke.  One of the reasons that the IH-634 is a better cut in many ways than the IH-634S, is that we don't have to worry about a parallel outseam.
2. We could use selvedge denim and dispense with the selvedge ID showing on the outseam (like the IH-461S), but that is probably a compromise too far.

[Max Power]

Would it be possible to end at 36" inseam after shrinkage? I am pretty certain not many will need an longer inseam. 38" or above are a bit much if you want a small leg opening at the (I think) most pouplar 32-26" length.

[Giles]

Yet to be decided, but anyone who wants over 36 is immediately out of luck if we make it 36.  And it will make no difference to the hem width at 36 whether we make to 36 or 38.
