@AdamJ Woah! I totally missed the 1955 comeback news... this is awesome. Beggars can't (and won't) be choosers, but any chance for an OD version too?

@Kfactor current ETA December

Hi @AdamJ - any update on the ETA? Many thanks - Bill

[endo]

sorry, dumb question, and I could look it up somewhere, but what's the difference between the 634 and the 1955 cut?

thanks man @Bill-C but no 1955 in there, or is there?

@endo

My bad - edited my previous post above …

[endo]

@Bill-C fully understand, I also expected the 1955s to be there, that's why I'm asking

@endo 1955 is my all time favorite IH cut. Hard to compare to 634, front and rear rise totally different. I consider this cut an anti fit with a slim looking and wearing silhouette. Most of the anti fit is in the knee. My size 34 has 13” FR, 13.5”thigh and a 10” knee that tapers to an 8.5” hem. Plenty of room in the top block, but slimming from knee to hem.

I would say the top block on 1955 is less boxy and less relaxed than 888s, I love 888s, but for my body type I have to wear my 888s gangster style low and loose. Sameway I use to wear my 634s. I love the silhouette of 634s size 33 and down. In the bigger sizes for me the 634s would feel a little bell bottom due to the larger hem opening in relation to the slimmer 634 top block..

1955 I can wear high on hips and never have to pull them up after bending or sitting and still have plenty of room to be very comfortable whilst sitting or bending. Hope this helps.

AFAIK they’re like 501s. Good bit higher rise than 634 - actually a little higher than 888. Slightly fuller leg than 888 but similar taper. I think I’ve got that right but someone else might chime in.

[endo]

I'm basically looking for a slightly tapered 634. Is it that?

[popvulture]

If you want exactly that, the 633 from Self Edge is it. Would have to order from the US though, not sure if that’s a pain in the ass and/or expensive.

[TinMan]

@popvulture I agree they are like 501 from the same era, but totally different than a modern 501 my thigh won’t fit in a modern 501 size 34

@endo I think I would say no, if you love the rise on 634s

I would say yes if you ok with high rise the 1955 definitely have more taper from knee to hem. Just keep in mind the knee is a little fuller then 634

For me rise is one of the most critical measurements., IMHO 1955 would probably be a risky purchase for you, unless you just want to try them on.
