IH-1955S - 21oz Selvedge Denim "1955" Vintage Tapered Cut Jeans - Indigo
-
These '55 beauties arrived last night! I cold soaked them to get the starch out a bit, after I took these pics. They feel perfect on-body, but hopefully the appearance of a wedgie will dissipate once I wear them a bit and the waist and seat relax. Here are my pre-soak measurements for size 32 below. If I was as careful as the Iron Heart crew in my measurements, they would honestly probably match the IH sizing chart perfectly, which I'm finding can't be said of every brand. Pretty pleasantly surprised with IH meticulous QC...Shout to @profdbrk for being my sage guide toward this brand for the last few years until this day haha:
Pre-soak measurements:
Waist 16”
Inseam 29.9” (got them hemmed from 35" to 30" at Shop Vancouver)
Front rise 12.25”
Back rise 15.25”
Hip 19”
Thigh 12.25”
Knee 9.5”
Hem 8.5” -
Just got my 1955s in the mail and I love them - they are everything I was looking for in a jean. I have a long torso and fairly muscular legs so I was really looking for something with a higher rise. I was wearing 888s prior to this and liked them a lot but the 1955s seem to fit me so much better. The rise on the 888 was pretty low on me. My ass doesn't hang out of these and I feel like I'll be able to tuck a shirt into them without looking so sloppy.
I was worried they'd be too baggy in the lower leg but they have a really nice silhouette. Super stoked about these.
Pictured are the new 1955s and the 888s that are being retired.

@mdavidson They look great man! As these sold so quickly my attentions have turned to the upcoming 14oz model
-
Yooo nice pics and great fits I can only hope for the same here. Monday delivery for me.
Loving that first extra high rise pic!

@mdavidson Can I just say, from one bro-with-a-mo to another, you have an absolutely cracking moustache, sir.
Take the dive...

@EdH Thanks brother!
-
@AdamC Thanks brother! Thanks to someone up above in this thread I got mine at The Shop Vancouver. They may still have inventory.
-
@EdH I second this! bit of facial hair jealousy going on hahaha
also @mdavidson I love the western sorta vibe you have going with the jeans - it's absolutely killer. I hope to do the same.

@jischwar I'm pretty sure they do
@thevintagefuture thanks man! I really like this cut. I'm excited to see how they wear in. I think with the rise they won't pull so hard on the crotch so I'm hoping I can get more life out of these. My other ones were on their last leg lol
-
@mdavidson cheers! I was fortunate enough to grab both my pairs from the .com, but I'll keep that in mind for the future
-
@jischwar No, it was $22 for me. I'd prefer included for purchases but ah well.
-
@rydor thanks for the confirmation. Glad I scored mine direct and included the hemming.

@jischwar Please double check on that. I just looked and it may incur a fee (almost certain). Please let me know if I’m wrong.
Looks like @rydor confirmed that there is in fact a charge
