1955S - 21oz Selvedge Denim "1955" Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo

Yes, soak to bed seams. Helps a little.
-
The 21 oz denim is ready to go right out of the package. It won't make any significant difference to do an initial soak.
That said, I always wash all my jeans on arrival to clean out any residual sizing, starch, shelf dust, grubby shipping monkey fingerprints, etc. that may be on them.

Nice article, I enjoyed it and hope it helps wrangle in more new IH addicts!

Will these be re-stocked any time soon?

Always wanted to try a pair of these….afraid they'll be too big in the leg. Truly believe these would be a freedom of movement pair work pants.

^ haddtoo - my brother has the 55-UHR and I would say the fit, if you play with the sizing, can create a very nice, not baggy shape. His are fairly fitted for a 55 cut and have a great taper for boots, which also looks great with sneakers and (surprisingly) loafers/Mocs
I believe the higher rose gives the wearer some "play" with the waist measure.
Hope that helps!

Thanks for the input. I'll have a few months to mull it over. The thigh on my 2634's is roomy ,the 55 should be close.

I always fancied a pair of these but i think i wear my jeans too low for this cut and would end up looking like i did when i was 15!

@spitfiredealer hahaha I would have to size down three to try to look like I did when I was 15 haha
Oh adolescence…you were not good to me haha

See I was going up sizes when I was 15. Can remember buying size 38-40 jeans and cargo pants when my proper size was
Probably closer to a 28-29
Waist. Lol -
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!
