But that’s just me, I’m sure. Definitely a fully utilitarian pocket design, especially being lined etc

You've got to remember that IH is a bikers' brand. The pockets are deliberately placed out wide so that a rider can sit on their bike without whatever is in their pockets digging into their arse while still having access to the pockets.

Back pockets size is a function of tag size.so you would need to specify the tag size you are after.

36-38, please/thanks

@sophisto000 Hi, I have measured both Tag 36/38 in respects to the width of the top/bottom of the back pockets which are practically identical with the following measurements:

13cm (bottom), 15cm (top)

I hope this helps!

@tgaus, I hope this helps you a little bit. But I thought I would do a side-by-side photo for everyone so you can see what the 1955(left side) looks like against the 888(right side). I wear both in a tag 40, and these two styles are great for big-thighed guys. The 1955 definitely offers a little bit more room across the board, as the numbers don't make it seem like much, but there is a difference when you combine all those little differences. The 888s give you a slimmer silhouette without becoming the Michelin man, haha.

@goosehd you were just waiting for an opportunity to post that photo of your butt. Had it all lined up

@Bailey
Thanks so much!

Oh I’m aware of that, hence the “utilitarian” part. Still love their jeans.

Last baby imaging / ultrasound appointment right as these are about to re-stocks! Hopefully the sized 40 don't sell out before I can get to them!

@JoshC those 1955s have me so hyped to cop a pair tomorrow. I have a meeting that ends right when they go live, so my co-workers will see me furiously getting on my phone to buy a pair.

As someone with big legs and a small waist, the 1955 really looks to be my goldilocks IH cut. The 888 is uncomfortably slim in the lower thigh while the 634 is doable, but the low rise isn't ideal as I tuck my shirts in regularly.

[JoshC]

@KA56 Ahh, man, the 1955 could definitely be the Goldilocks pair for you, then! For me, there is definitely more room in that low thigh area compared to the 888s, so you should be good. Good luck, and I hope you manage to cop a pair!

[m4xime]

This is making me feel I need a pair of these but I only just got a pair of 888s, maybe for the next pair

[thewizarrd]

@m4xime for what it’s worth, I wear my 1955s more than my 888s…

RESTOCK

[FlavourFade]

Ordered thanks to IHUK for helping me a lot with my orders. Looking forward to another 555 in the 18oz vintage denim and the almighty 1955, hopefully the cut will suit me

[JWeezy54]

Ordered as well! Thanks for all the help!

@JoshC's pictures make this tempting for me. If the below is my stretched (3 weeks) 888s, would I be right to say I actually need a size 31 (based on Size Guide) to account for the 1" stretch?

[EdH]

Only one left in stock in my size but, as much as it pains me, I think I'm going to have to let it go on this occasion. I'm saving up for something else that's getting a restock soon and comes around a lot less frequently even than these hallowed 1955s.

I've got enough jeans needing wear and evo put into them in the meantime.

[KA56]

So with these seemingly flying out of stock is there any chance of revisiting the '1955 as a core part of the IH rotation' conversation?
