@vaquero357:

…do this in 25oz XHS and you've got a customer, my 'allegience' is to 25oz XHS!

That would be amazing!

[BD81]

Hell yeah to 25oz

@Alex:

No orders in currently, so no restock till mid 2022 or so

@Alex June, July?

[Alex]

Still no orders in for these, we are on an all-stop for jeans production other than what is in the schedule already. These will be one of the first to get made once we can

Decided I needed a pair of these in my life. Found a pair of my size in stock at a store in Finland, of all places, and grabbed it. Great pair. Great high rise, great 50s style fit for when I'm looking to rock that style with some engineer boots.

Big butts need heavy denim too!

Big butts need heavy denim too!

also a flattering cut if your upper body is long relative to your leg length

I’ve never been able to try these but they are probably my last hope of fitting into some IH bottoms so I’ve been watching this thread like a hawk.

Hello everyone! This forum is amazing!! So I'm looking for my first pair of Iron Heart jeans and I think these are the ones.
I've been looking and reading for months! I have large thighs. Nearly 25 inches from a combination of genetics and athletics. I've got a big butt. Really big. So nothing fits me. Levi's 541 fit me in a 38 but a bit loose. 501s fit me if I size up yo a 40 which seems to fit like everyone else's size 38. I also have a longer torso as I'm 5'11" but have a 30 inch inseam.

So these will be my gift to myself as I've recently finished a 200lb weight loss and now I can fit into the good jeans.

These are 21oz and should be amazing once aged and lived in.

The best thing you can do is to be acclimate yourself with the way iron heart measures jeans. Then hopefully you have a pair that fit you the way you like. Measure that pair according to iron heart's measuring guide and compare to the chart for the 1955's. The worst thing you can do is go by tag size. Hope this helps you to choose the right size for you.
Glad you like the forum. Its a great place and tons of great people. Welcome to IH!!

Hey @Lost Ronin — welcome! Everything Yannis said about measuring and the charts is totally spot on. After a while you’ll get an idea of what sizes you GENERALLY wear in certain cuts / shirts etc but there are ALWAYS exceptions. So yep, chart chart chart.

The main thing I wanted to ask, though: have you looked at the 888? That’s often the choice for peeps with larger thighs or generally more athletic builds. The 1955s are also a totally good choice for that, but they’ve been out of stock for a while and afaik, they’re not due anytime soon. Giles has even mentioned discontinuing them, I think?

All that said, they’ve always seemed appealing to me, and I’ve been waiting for a while to see a restock. So I’m with ya there, but if you get impatient, maybe see if the 888 could work.

And btw, congrats on the weight loss! Enjoy your badass denim reward!

Thanks for the information. I'll definitely look at the 888s as well. I was unaware they're out of stock. I hadn't gotten that far just yet. Nothing wrong with more than one pair of IH Denim.
Here on Iron Heart America site they're listed as continuous production,  yet they're out of stock at the moment.
I'll have to be patient and check back.

@Lost Ronin @popvulture is correct in that there are no plans or production runs in place for the 1955S at the moment. The IH-888S-21 is due very soon so definitely worth a shot!

I think once we get the current production bottlenecks sorted out, we will start making the 1955 again. The key problem is that very few retailers take the 1955, so the total order into Japan is always small, and when we are overloading the workshops, small runs cause massive issues…..

thanks @Giles - this is great news - this is a great cut for those of us with a tall frame but regular leg length and    some thigh “power”. I’ve looked around a lot and just couldn’t find a credible alternative from other brands.

If you have big thighs from weight lifting and the like, pay careful attention to the knee measurements. Those quads will need room just above the knees.
