Okay, I keep meaning to come on here and say something about these jeans. I have been wearing Iron Heart for a while now. The 634S being my go-to. As much as I love those jeans (especially the pair I have worn for a good 4 years or more) they've always felt a bit too tight in the thigh and loose in the waist and seat. A short while ago I figured I'd give the 1955 a go.

Wow. I went an inch smaller in the waist, which gave me a much better fit there and the seat but with plenty of room in the thigh. The length is perfect and the taper actually sits a bit nicer on my trainers. My new favourite jean I reckon. Going to live with them for another month or so and then a second pair will most certainly need to be purchased.

Please can we get these in brown, or overdyed, or grey, or…or...or...I don't know...something else. I want excuses to buy more!

For anyone interested it would appear the size of the discount in India was overstated to me. I went to an authorised dealer (for a variety of brands). They didn't have Grey Side of the Moon but did try to sell me a Panerai Luminor Marina 44 automatic for £4000. Their list price was £4700. So from what I can see with a quick Google search the prices are no better than Heathrow prices.

@Winchy:

Always nice to see some updates/pics in this thread. Gutted that I missed out on these; they had arrived from Japan during my first week with IH and I wish i'd been more clued up and nabbed a pair.

@nietenhosen isn't helping much either. What a great looking pair of jeans!

What size are you Winchy? My first IH were the 666L in a 34. I wore them once or twice but they are just too damn tight for my thighs. Never sold them as I like them so much I keep thinking it might change. It won't though will it so might be time to sell.

Thanks. Not as big a fan of the dark side. Plus I gave a black Bell & Ross so fancy something different.

Thanks again for your reply.

Hi, quick question for you experts out there.

Ever since someone posted a picture of the Omega Grey Side of the Moon in this thread I've wanted one. Even more so since I saw one 'in the flesh' on Monday.

I am India right now where apparently I can get legit watches for half the UK prices. Is there a catch? Is there any reason I shouldn't buy one during my trip? I'll be in Thailand next week - would I get an even better deal there?

Well I gave up after 10 minutes. The thighs just won't work for me. It's a real shame though as these are great. I strongly recommend anyone who is on the fence to take the plunge.

Lucky for me I have my new Loom Breakers to soften the blow.

Or not. Keeps failing when I try to upload. Bugger.

Mine have arrived. As with all IH stuff, great fabric and great workmanship. My fears were not unfounded though. Do feel a bit snug in the thigh. Going to wear them around the house for the afternoon and hope they loosen a little bit. Was the right call to go no bigger on the waist.

Got some very poor pics. Keen to hear others thoughts re the thigh fit.

I can't resist. Just ordered a charcoal pair (I think the olive ones look awesome but I know I'm unlikely to wear that colour) and put a comment about thighs measurement.

Thanks again for your help.

Thanks. I understand. I appreciate the help too.

Is there any variation in the thigh? In other words, is it possible you have a 33 waist with a slightly larger thigh than some of the others?
