IH-1955S-OD - 21oz Selvedge Denim "1955" Vintage Tapered Cut Jeans - OD Black
-
@AdamJ appreciate the insight. My issue is always too much room in the waist and not enough in the leg. The waist on tag 33 would likely stretch to be perfect, but I can guarantee that the leg would be too slim even post stretch (for context I tried the tag 34 serge work pants and they were veeeery slim in the seat and thighs).
The measurements on the tag 34 OD, tag 33 indigo are comparable to my current daily drivers (Sugar Cane 1947 in 33) so I'm just looking for reassurance they won't get radically bigger than their initial size.
All that said, I grabbed the 34 already so yolo I suppose

@VW1971 Have you checked the stockists? The Shop Vancouver doesn’t seem to be listed, but they still have 35”s.
-
Wow, those went fast! no 34 left
-
@Mister_Brue When you say Stockists do you mean shops that regularly carry IH? I checked the Self Edge website but they are not listed yet or they are not carrying them. Thanks for the tip on Shop Vancouver. I will check now. Is there a page on this forum that would have which shops placed an order for these?
EDIT- just checked Shop Vancouver and found these in 35!! Thank you Sir! Just made my day. Much appreciated!
-
@VW1971 I'm glad you found a pair. I must have just taken the last 35 just before you to tried to buy.

@DeeDee85 said in IH-1955S-OD - 21oz Selvedge Denim "1955" Vintage Tapered Cut Jeans - OD Black:
@VW1971 the stockists of an Iron Heart product are always listed in the first few posts of that products particular thread on the forum
Not strictly so, we do not update that post for restocks, becomes too confusing.
But it is 100% true for new releases.
As a point of fact, Self Edge have never taken the 1955 in any guise.

I decided to grab these to go with my older 1955 non-OD’d pair. Got the 32 from The Shop (since I missed the 32 here), feeling pretty good about it.
-
Congrats to those who scored. I hesitated on sizing and they were gone in a heartbeat. Here's to a restock!
-
@scarfmace Shop Vancouver still has 34 in stock.
-
Hesitated on the .com…but picked up a pair from The Shop Vancouver(38W)
Looking forward to my first pair of OD jeans
-
How is the fit on these compared to lower rise pants? I have a pair of 33s on hold but the waist is a bit smaller than my ideal measurement in 666s and 777s (33").
Similar question to @KA56 really, so would be interested to know how sizing worked out for you?
-
Thanks Giles, that's what I was thinking - the 1955s should work as my waist is narrower than my hips.

As someone who posts rarely and has purchased many pairs of IH's I felt compelled to post here after recently securing a pair of these 1955's - first time with this cut. I've had the same battles everyone on here has with finding the right measurements within the cuts offered and have settled into a happy spot of mostly 634s with some select 888's. I always seem to need this combo of smaller waist and larger thigh knee combos leading to a couple sweet spot finds and the occasional "size around". 634's tick the most boxes for comfort but if I am honest sometimes want a narrower slimmer hem....(horses for courses right?). These 1955's are right on the f%^$& money for rise and waist. LOVE the 634-ish thigh/knee measures with the 888 taper to hem. I know we all find our own but damn if these aren't the best fitting IH's I've pulled out of the bag. In conclusion - keep doing what you're doing Giles and crew - I will be getting more 1955's in the future. I love all my IH apparel but was more than pleasantly surprised by these. OD is a bonus as it's just an amazing fabric...
-
Just received my pair. The fabric is so lovely.
-
Got mine in yesterday. 34 was the right call in these. The waist is a touch loose, but a belt will take care of that. Any smaller and the thighs would've been painted on.
Definitely the best IH cut I've found for my build.

Quick question re the indigo and OD versions of the 1955S. I know the OD version runs a little smaller since the dying process removes all the shrinkage, but will it stay a bit smaller over time (i.e., after several washes)?
I ask because I have a pair of 1955S-21 indigo in size 35 that fit perfectly. The size chart suggests the OD version might be too small. I'm trying to figure out which size to order when the OD is back in stock.
