@graveyardshift:

Here are my observations, RedMan. I've put my 1955 UHRs through their initial soak and wash per Giles' instructions. They shrunk about what was advertised (a little less than 1" in the waist, maybe closer to 1.5" in the length). Of all the Iron Hearts I have (all the same size - Beatle Busters, 634S, TW-634S) the 1955 UHR is the roomiest in the top block and thighs. It also obviously has the highest rise. It does taper a bit more than the others in the knee & leg opening. So, if looser in the top block is what you want, the 1955 UHRs might be it. That's just my experience though.

Personally, I really like the fit of the 1955 UHRs and will wear them a lot when the temps drop out of the 80s and 90s.

Hi, thanks for the reply.

What's the difference in terms of fit wise with a high/low front/rear rise?

contemplating on one of these.. thigh grew out of the ihxb01, looking for something looser on the top block, but retaining the taper below..

size 33 on the beatle busters, i'm looking at a 33 for these? upload a fit pic of my bb later.

also, whats the difference between a high front/rear rise and low front/rear rise?

Thanks guys. Pretty sure there's a lot more years to go with this!

ih bb, 1.5y/o couple of machine wash, 3 hand wash.
