For what it's worth- Pronto have plenty of these still in stock, especially their Central World branch. (Bangkok). Baht is fairly cheap at the moment too, meaning it isn't bad value either. You boys would love their stores, all the quality brands, and some Iron Heart exclusives hiding in there too.

Could you please post a link? I'd love to buy a pair of '55S in size 33 and would much prefer to not have to wait 3-4 months to do so, if possible

Thanks!!

EDIT: Found it but how do you place an order?? Can someone please explain how the shop works; is it tel. orders only?

@Giles:

Nope you're stuck with the 1955S or the 1955UHR….Waist on the S will easily stretch an inch...

A reply from the owner in 3 minutes of my first post, that has to be some kind of record

Thanks for the info, Giles. Might go back into the store and try the same pair on again tomorrow, see how they feel around the waist when sitting down and whatnot. So are their any similar tapered jeans you sell you'd recommend I try, considering the big thighs/ass?

Just out of curiosity… you don't think their would be a market for a pair of these jeans without the high front rise? I see you said they don't sell well enough to be considered manufacturing from 25oz fabric... maybe if the front rise was an inch, or inch and a half, lower the same cut would be a more attractive proposition? That's not in any way a criticism, just a thought.

Keep up the good work, mate.

Hi Rick,

There's a million and one jeans available from virtually every manufacturer on the planet with a lower rise; you have no shortage to pick from. Allow me to be the voice of opposition and say that if the rise were lowered even an inch, as you suggested, I would have no interest in purchasing them. With all due respect, it seems less than gracious to offer advice in the way of cut and aesthetic to the designer of the article in question; let alone think that these jeans should somehow be tailored to each individual's preference. While its unique to have unfiltered access to the face behind the brand, who's been generous and enthusiastic enough to answer our questions and address concerns, lets exercise a bit of restraint. If you're looking for a lower rise, please look elsewhere or chose a different model.

@jivyivy:

Will the next production run (May 2016) source the same exact fabric, weight and all? Identical cut?

1. No two runs of denim are never exactly the same (despite what some would have you believe).  But I suspect no-one will be able to tell.
2. We aim that the cut will be identical, but because of (1) above, there may be some slight variation

@jivyivy:

Is there any way to pre-order/pre-pay/reserve sizes?

No.  What if you do change size?  What if the May run differs a little from last run? 
Complete the form if you want an email when they hit…

And no, they won't shrink....

Thanks for the quick response; what a great resource this forum is!

Duly noted on all points and looking forward to the next batch. I've added myself to the mailing list for restock. Also crossing fingers that nothing's lost in the rise on the new run… onward and upward (specifically in rise!) for 2016 

@Giles:

Middle of May - all sizes…..

Hi,

I'm new to the forum and new to the fancy denim world, but the cut and specs on this model look very much like the idealized pair of jeans that my endless and as of yet fruitless quest has sent me in search of… that is, a proper natural waist (i.e. higher rise) in a comfortably slim and tapered cut. I'm sold! Unfortunately, so is my size. 

Will the next production run (May 2016) source the same exact fabric, weight and all? Identical cut?

Is there any way to pre-order/pre-pay/reserve sizes?

Lastly, there should be no shrinking at all with these, correct? Please forgive the novice question.

Very glad to have stumbled upon this site and I eagerly await mid-May when I can finally retire my cheapo $30 Wrangler 936's in all their ugly smurfy blue splendor!

PS: I'm currently wearing size 34's in the cheapo 936 model, with the waist measuring precisely 17.5" (per your very clear & concise instruction - Thank you!) and I'd say they fit comfortably if just a touch loose. I should be a size 32 but I'm more like a 33 these days (most chinos, flannels, etc). The next 4 months wait should give me ample time to shed a few pounds and trim down to size. That said, would the size 33's (1955S) work for me in my current shape, hypothetically? Presumably there's some stretch to the denim, right? I'd be hesitant to jump up the 34 as I prefer the slimmer thigh/knee specs, however subtle it may be. I'm 5'9" and roughly 1165-170lbs... and dropping!
