As someone who posts rarely and has purchased many pairs of IH's I felt compelled to post here after recently securing a pair of these 1955's - first time with this cut. I've had the same battles everyone on here has with finding the right measurements within the cuts offered and have settled into a happy spot of mostly 634s with some select 888's. I always seem to need this combo of smaller waist and larger thigh knee combos leading to a couple sweet spot finds and the occasional "size around". 634's tick the most boxes for comfort but if I am honest sometimes want a narrower slimmer hem....(horses for courses right?). These 1955's are right on the f%^$& money for rise and waist. LOVE the 634-ish thigh/knee measures with the 888 taper to hem. I know we all find our own but damn if these aren't the best fitting IH's I've pulled out of the bag. In conclusion - keep doing what you're doing Giles and crew - I will be getting more 1955's in the future. I love all my IH apparel but was more than pleasantly surprised by these. OD is a bonus as it's just an amazing fabric...

Any chance of a restock on these?

Are these coming back into production anytime soon?

Any updates on when these are landing?

When are these restocking? He asks full of hope…

Given this is unbrushed what's the feel like? IE (perhaps a silly question) is this going to feel more akin to a wool overshirt in which case it's really meant to be sized up over a basic layering piece OR is it something you'd be comfortable wearing over just a t shirt (and therefore closer fitting)?

What I am getting at is where is this on a spectrum relative to brushed UHF?

Anyways - let's get back to talking UHFs - how bout them [insert sports team] as they say?

Thanks for completing the thought @mclaincausey - I had the thought in my head but had oversimplified in favor of brevity, so well said - the union component is a crucial one and as you even more importantly underlined - who cares if the longshoremen now work 24hrs if there's no trucks to put it on…ripple effects...

Seems to be trending in the right direction (viewed from a half full perspective...) after a tumultuous 2021 (to say the least)

As for "other solutions" not sure whether the trend will fully develop due to too may variables to discuss, but there is a not insignificant number of brands coming back to or revisiting "onshoring" their currently "offshore" operations. The argument for making in country (in US anyways) gets a lot stronger when the consumer (in the US) ends up paying the same $ due to current environment...so amen to curbing inflation - word to the wise, whatever you think is expensive now is going to get worse before it gets better...

Apologies for being off topic

For what it's worth I work in related space - having a brand advisory practice that helps brands with their strategy on ecomm and multi channel selling (Amazon, Shopify, DTC, Retail).

Capacity is severely constrained - a hangover from COVID impacts. Shippers are enjoying container prices as much as 500% higher than one year previous. And while demand would warrant an increase in capacity they're somewhat limited due to things like dry docked vessels they pulled for work during the initial fall off in demand.

Add to this the current environment of strong consumer demand for imported goods (here in the US, but generally everywhere) AND combine that with the suppliers and makers facing the same troubles procuring material inputs and you have a perfect storm - brands experiencing unprecedented demand without the ability to deliver due to supply chain shortage AND/OR shipping back ups that are severely compromising fulfillment timelines.

Here in the US the California ports and unions were just politely slapped around by our president and told they will now be going to 24 hr operation in an attempt to double throughput at those ports. The Holidays are going to be a shit show by all accounts for both maker and consumer - late or missed arrival of product followed by quick sell through and spotty availability.

Could write a book on this, but you asked, so there's a few thoughts…
