21oz OD vest, Whitesville tee, Sugar Cane belt, IH 1955 21oz jeans, Wesco Boss 7500

Just got my custom Morrisons in- brown cxl horsehide with brown roughout uppers. Gonna save these for the Patina Thunderdome.

Ive got a problem though because im already workshopping my next pair. Its either gonna be a classic Boss in black tie domain or one in black roughout on a wedge...

Ended up grabbing two pairs of these over the past month. Im between sizes (small waist and rear, big thighs) and initially went with a 34 for the bigger leg before getting annoyed at the oversized waist/seat making it impossible to fully cinch a belt without weird puckering.

Reached back out to the crew and they were excellent at hooking it up with a tag 33 with a relatively bigger leg. They arrived yesterday and fit like a glove. Im about 8 hours into wearing them and can feel them opening up already. Once the the seat/upper thigh open up a bit these will be a perfect slim straight jean.

Still going to hold on to the 34s for when my weight creeps up or for those days when I want a slouchier, more relaxed fit. And honestly you can never have too many IH pants.

I tried the 634 on a whim after finding 888s weren't really to my liking and fell in love. I picked these up at Self Edge a month ago and have been wearing them daily. Just did my first wash yesterday after they started smelling a bit funky and I'm super happy with how they're softening up and how the seat is fading.

Also so impressive how much give this denim has. These were literally painted on when I first got them and now I can comfortably pinch an inch of fabric along most of the leg.

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.

@thevintagefuture yeah I totally get that. Fwiw I've got fit pics of all of them which sort of show what I mean. Not the best since the the OD fabric acts as something of a black hole, but you can sort of get an idea.

1955 are on the left. 634 are on the top right (you can see the belt is basically over my hips), and 888 are on bottom right. If you care to zoom in over the crotch you'll see how they bunch up when worn as a high waisted jean, as well as the relatively tighter fit along the low thigh. If I wasn't someone who religiously tucked my shirt in, the 634 would be totally fine because it can be worn very comfortably hanging off the hips, even at a few sizes up.

Haven't taken these off since I got them in- Texas humidity be damned. Paired today with the 14oz OD type III. Im pleasantly surprised with how well the higher rise and longer jacket interact.

The indigo pair is sitting in my closet untouched for now, and I may bring them out for this year's indigo invitational.

My quest for wider and straighter fits this past year has led me away from IH denim and towards Samurai, with the S3100 edging out the 1955 as my most worn pair. Now with the news of the 684 though I may be about to re-commit to IH pants!

This might be a weird question, but ive been trying to get to the bottom of why my indigo 1955 dont feel as comfortable as my overdyed pair despite similar levels of break-in. I always feel like the seat of my pants isn't quite on my butt in the indigos, and my phone and wallet (which I keep in my back pockets) always catch when I move.

So I did what any psycho would do. I took a tape measure to every part of each and they're within 1/8" across the board EXCEPT in where the back pockets sit.

On the overdyes they're 0.5" higher: 5.5" from the inside corner to the top of the waistband, and 11.5 from the bottom of the pocket.

The indigo measure 6" and 12" respectively. Its just lower enough that part of whatever is in my back pocket sits on my hamstring and not my glute.

Now normally Id chalk this up to tolerances, but I have 2 pair of each (with how rare restocks are, and with this being the only cut that works for me, I keep an eye out for gently used pairs and have managed to snag a backup of both). And they exhibit the same discrepancy: both overdye pockets sit about 0.5" higher.

So I guess my question is if this is a result of the overdying process shrinking them vertically? A different pattern (tho that seems unlikely)? Or just weird luck of the draw?

The 1955 in SBG or even 142bb.

Anything in black warp/white weft. Ive come across one pair of 634s in this fabric on ebay and they look sick.

More unmodified T3 jackets. They dont have to be 21oz but thatd be nice

@Shane-B so is it a similar mid rise but with a looser leg?

@northsouthdenimguy

Appreciate the detailed writeup! Im a 9.25 heel to toe, and a 9 heel to ball. Width is smack on the line between D and E, but I have a high instep on my right foot, so generally round up to a wider size where I can.

The attached pic shows where my ball lines up on my right foot (the bigger of the two), and where my big toe sits relative to the toe of the boot. It's hard to see, but Ive pushed my toe up as high as I can and Im pointing towards the tip.
