@Giles:

Yep, Gav and I requested that….

Brilliant! Delighted to hear it

[richardjohn22]

I hope Pronto reconsider and get these in stock, it's got to be one of the very best Iron Heart cuts

Or, a (very non-IH) black leather patch

Like this?

[UnTucked]

I take my "non-IH" remark back….

Great news.

These are really looking great on everyone. Definitely have to try a pair on next time I'm at Selfedge.

Say it again, please. It's semi-inducing news 

[Jordonf9]

I'm kinda hoping it's the 14oz OD. I love my 21oz OD, they have great age and tons of life left. The 25OD is a beast! So only one OD left for me at least. Hopefully come around by next summer if at all with the 14oz

[spitfiredealer]

Yeah I would prefer a 14oz OD or a 18oz but's that because I already have the 21oz

[trail and arrow]

Current tight measurements are perfect, please keep them!

[Giles]

I will stick with these measurements for the IH-888S-SB…..

[trail and arrow]

Great!

I also think this is great news.  If the thighs were significantly bigger it might size me out of this cut.  I would have to go 33 and try the painful stretch routine which is not my method or shoot for a 34 with a smaller thigh.

[spitfiredealer]

So does anyone want to comment on if the extra rise cancels out the smaller thigh?

I'll tell you on Monday [emoji849]

IMO, no it doesnt.  I feel like I need pretty much the same thigh measurement no matter what the rise.  It's the waist measurement that changes dependent on the rise, unless I'm missing something.

Rise in itself does not matter… however if the high rise makes the crotch of your jeans sit lower as a result, then yes, you could get away with smaller thigh measurements than usual.

And to the guys saying "please don't make the thighs bigger", lets consider that you can probably fit in a wide variety of Iron Heart jeans, and lads with larger thighs can wear perhaps two or three cuts.....  Have some sympathy 

.3 inches on the thigh, on this, or a variety of this cut, would be amazing. Even 0.2 inches...

Here's the current list of IH indigo jeans that in waist size 36 (within 1/2 inch) fit minimum 13.5inch thigh and 16.0inch rear rise, aside from this pair:
PIH10ANS -      13.8 thigh, 11.9 fr, 16.1 rr, 9.6 hem
IH-634S-XHS -  13.8 thigh, 11.5 fr, 16.5 rr, 9.5 hem
IH-1955S -      13.9 thigh, 13.4 fr, 16.6 rr, 8.8 hem

For comparison:
IH-888S -        13.5 thigh, 12.3 fr, 16.6 rr, 8.5 hem

In the lower leg, the 888 is the most slim and modern cut.  The 634S-XHS would be tremendous if not for the lack of comparable taper, and the difficulty getting that fabric tailored.
