Likewise. I'm really tempted to pick up a pair of these in 28. I bought my first pair of Iron Hearts a couple of months ago in the Devil's Fit and am already hooked. Although now the 21/23 debate now has me confused whether to wait to pull the trigger!

I just bought a pair and will post some pics.
Returned to this forum today after a long absence to find not only a restock of IH-1955S but also talk of a 23oz raw version as well! A year ago I was looking everywhere trying to track down the 1955S but they were extinct… now I'm lighter in the wallet awaiting one pair and actually contemplating a second pair when the UHR is released.
When it rains, it pours!
These are my first IH and first denim heavier than 15.7oz (Momo 0901). Those were a bitch to break in but the cut works great for me so I'm looking forward to these. Just hoping the inseam is long enough, I'm 6'5"+ so ideally at least 37" and preferably more to cuff.

[Islander]

Arrived yesterday. 21oz denim is amazing and my first IH experience exceeded my highest expectations. Great customer service (thanks Matt) and the 1955S fit is exactly what I hoped it would be.

I'll post proper pics soon.

Congrats Islander and welcome!
looking forward to more pics.

[Islander]

No proper pics yet but here's the 1955S.

[Anesthetist]

Nice fit on those. I think they look the best in your first pic with the small cuff. Well done!

[seanocono]

Perfect fit, Islander.

We are a similar height and build, so thank you for the pic. I've been waiting for the 55-UHR for months. If the inseam doesn't work on those, I am snatching one of these in a heartbeat.

Nice

Received my 1955S yesterday and wore them first time today. As a long time devoted follower of the 634 cut I wanted to try something new. What a pleasant surprise!
the higher rise makes them really comfy. think i just added a new favorite to my rotation.

Thanks again Giles and Paula for the incredibly fast delivery. Always a pleasure to order from you!

Thanks to some exemplary Customer Service from Giles,Paula and the IH folks,I now am pleased to own  my first 1955S Jeans.I sized down an inch from my standard 32" waist  to a Size 31x32.
If I could find a pr of Gloves that fit as well as these,then I would buy them. Superb,and thanks to all ,once again.
( Yes,I know I should be finishing off my basement instead of surfing denim sites and pulling the Arcs off !)

[seanocono]

Stellar fit. Congrats.

hi all, im a bit new to all this so looking for a bit of advice on the 1955S. im another big in the thighs, small in the waist guy so the 1955S looks a little more comfortable that the other cuts. im a bit worried about some of the comments on here about guys with big guts not enjoying them though. while not really a gut, ive packed on a fairly substantial muffin top of the past 12 months (which will be gone within the next 5 months). how much of a gut are we talking about before these jeans become unwearable?

[Giles]

That really is an impossible question to answer.  I suggest you do this, that'll give you some sort of empirical data:

[blackcap]

the pair of levis i have right now are

waist: 36
Front rise: 11
Rear rise: 16.5
Thigh: 13.5
Knee: 9.5
Hem: 9
Inseam: 32

but the thigh is too sung to allow a full range of easy movment

[blackcap]

the extra rise is appealling because im on a motorcycle almost all the time and offers better coverage over my arse and lower back but ive never worn anything like this before. just thought id seek some wisdom from those that know 

[Giles]

They could work, it's difficult to tell as the rise is quite a lot larger as you pointed out.  I think the only way to find out for sure is to try a pair.  We offer no quibble exchange, but if you are not in Europe it does get a little pricey if you have to return them….

[blackcap]

cool! thats what i was hoping to hear. thanks for that Giles. ive got a few more questions but ill stick them in the appropriate forums

@blackcap the higher rise of the 1955 is comfortable. @simonc is a big fan of the cut too. It tends to sit more.on the natural waist line than the hips.

I'd suggest looking at the 1955 UHR too. I prefer the denim to the 21 oz.
