IH-1955-UHR - Ultra Heavy Raw 1955 Cut
-
I feel safer in my 1955-UHR's Graeme. Serious below the belt protection
-
When I'm ready for another pair of denim, this will probably be it. (unless the indigo warp/weft model blows me away)
-
These are fading really fast in comparison the the 18oz raw and the 21oz flagship. Really surprised by how they're coming along, and not the least bit upset with the purchase. It's starting to get a bit too warm to wear them frequently unfortunately. I'm getting them ready to be put away for the 6 month rest. Will be sure to get some shots before that takes place.
After their second wash, they're a perfect fit/size for me. All pockets are fantastic, the cut itself a delight. All the right space in all the right places.

@Snowy Has it been too hot to wear these? How are they going? Any evo pics, yet?
I have been wearing my XHSs so haven't really given my UHRs much attention
However, the oiliiness of this denim not only feels silky but suggests to me a lovely dirty-looking fade in time, possibly akin to LVC 501 1937 South West soil finish of 10 to 12 years ago, without the blotchiness.

@Snowy I've worn mine a few times, probably about 2 weeks in total. Mine are tight in the waistband but have room for movement elsewhere, without being baggy. I'm hoping to get a new phone with a 13 megapixel camera soon so may be able to post better pics than my previous efforts. I tried out my 666 UHR last night - they are a fantastic fit, better than XHS 666s and the fly seems to be lower than on those, too.

I found this, looks easy enough!!
-
The 55's are effin great. For a heavyweight they're remarkably comfortable after only a few wears. Along with the Roy 02's my favorite.
-
Should have picked up another pair before they ran out of my size. Argh. See also 1st world problems.

Hi,
I already own a few kickstarter denim ( Gustin, RPMWest ) and I want to buy a new jean but with better quality. 3 cut/brand get my attention : IH 1955 ; FH 3009 and Fullcount 1101.
I want to have roomy thigh ( particulary in the upper thigh ) but with a little taper ( I have big thigh but small calf ). Can anyone tell more about those cuts ?
And what means " middle straight " ?Thank you a lot

Yes, I saw this ( very useful ) post and this is why the 1955 cut is the IH's cut that I prefer ( roomy tapered ) but it is not the only cut which is straight/regular/roomy tapered. And it is the reason why I want to know if someone here get this jean and can compare with the FC or FH jean I quoted. Or if in your opinion this cut could work for my physique ( I have muscled thighs and skinny calf ).

@ayX I own the Fullcount 1101 and have tried on the Flat Head 3009 too. The IH 1955 model has a very different top block, especially compared to the 3009 - being much higher rise both front and back. The thigh on the 1955 is also wider than both of the other models. Of all the IH cuts, I think the 633 from Self Edge would be the closest to the 1101 and the 3009, though I haven't the time to compare measurements. Nothing wrong with a 1950s cut though…

The 633 looks great but being a French consumer I prefer jeans to be shipped from England to avoid customs fees… The IH 1955 has wider thigh and smaller leg opening than the 1101 ( and high rise for both of them ) so it's more what I'm looking for. I think I will choose between the FH 3009 and IH 1955. Thank you for your advices !
