IH-1955-UHR - Ultra Heavy Raw 1955 Cut

[JohnM]

I'm wearing the 34 now – good in the waist and roomy elsewhere.  36 would have been too big, so thanks for the input everyone.  I like this cut because of the rise especially.  If you want trim, look elsewhere.  But if you like a higher rise and some room in the hip and thigh, these are fantastic.  Stiff and strong denim -- "we don't do light."

Getting a tight fitting waist can be scary but I really think it's the best way to go to wind up with a perfect fit. (Unless the denim really doesn't stretch which is rare in my experience.)

After weeks on the road, I was able to get a hold of my pair at the office on Friday. During the week end, I soaked it, washed it with no soap at 30 C, inside out, followed drying instructions, etc…

Later today, I will put it on and go on my motorcycle to the office this afternoon. Can't wait.

It must be my 12th pair of IH jeans (easily, Giles, have you kept track of my orders????), but the excitement never ceases when I get a new pair.

[Giles]

Well GB, you have 3 different identities in the shop, so a quick look is not easy…..But you have placed 25 orders.

[simonc]

Graeme they look brilliant on you!!

Thanks Simon. They're verging on a slim fit on me.

They're very comfortable jeans to wear, but they're already marking their territory on my new wallet…

I got mine last week, hoping to do pre-pics +soak + post-soak-pics this coming weekend. They smell great

[Jeansman]

Oh yeah! The smell…... And its always stronger when the denim is a bit damp, too!

[steelworker]

Oh baby done soaking the 55UHR & hell yes! I've been looking for these & didn't know it.

[DanielAFC]

Graeme your fit looks perfect. I wish I could try on the sanforized version in person as I feel that this cut could be great for my body type, but as I don't have anything to compare to it remains too big of a gamble for me.

[Giles]

Daniel, I know you do not live in UK, so this is quite an expensive option, but we will always ship to you and you can return for full refund/exchange if they do not work….

[DanielAFC]

Thanks Giles, I will keep that in mind

[Snowy]

Few shots of mine, presoak and a bonus comparing the color against my 634S.

Jeans are getting their soaking as I type!!!!!!!!!!!!! !.!!! .!!!

[Snowy]

Okay here we go, with an XPOST to come too. This 23oz is impossible to do up. Feel post soak is still very stiff. Bits of nep, hues of various indigo in certain lights already hinting at what's to come. Think once these are cuffed again in a few more days the fit will settle to be a perfect relaxed fit.

[simonc]

Exactly Snowy they will drop into shape.  Thing you will value is that rise how the waistband clamps around your hips, particularly with the weight of that denim.

[Snowy]

Thanks simon.

General comments RE: pre/post soak. Pre-soak the waist was rather loose. After a 30c machine wash, putting these back on, the waist was mildly tight. About 6 hours later it's starting to give nicely.

[louisbosco]

looks good on you.

Nice one Snowy, they look perfect!

I must admit that after reading forum posts about the UHR 21/23oz denim, I'm intrigued. I see the 1955 UHR is listed as "endangered." Does this mean that when they're gone, that's it for a long time or forever? If so, maybe I should get a pair. Also, am I right that the 634 will be coming out in the UHR 21/23 oz denim soon? If so, that makes me wonder about the 1955 UHR vs. the 634 UHR. Perhaps the 1955 cut might suit a bigger/older gentleman like myself? But I love the 634 cut. Decisions, decisions.
