Any plans for 1955 cut in any other colour than Indigo ? OD ?

I’ve compared the measurements, do I have a sense, but have you ever tried the 888? I’m just wondering how the 1955 compares in terms of top block specifically, roominess w/ the hip and the higher rise. I’m looking for something a little more forgiving in the top block with a higher rise.

I may be barking up the wrong tree with the 1955.

@drewfonse Hey, I own a pair of 888-14SBG and a pair of 888-UHR, The top block fit is about the same as the 1955, except the 1955 fits slightly higher, around the bellybutton for me. If you wear it a little lower, you get plenty of room in the thigh area but your crotch will also drop a bit.
I find its more comfortable to drop the crotch on the 1955 and wear it relaxed but still fitted then the 888.

The only other difference is that the leg on the 1955 is straight but the 888 tapers a bit. its slightly noticeable and depending on your body time and height, it can work out better. Just note that both still have enough leg opening for boots to be worn under.

The waiting really IS the hardest part, Mr. Petty

Hey Adam, is it realistic to hope that these will be available by the end of the month? Thanks!

[AdamJ]

@drewfonse Not looking likely I'm afraid, sorry

@AdamJ

Bummer, ok!

I know it can be hard to estimate, but the reason I’m trying to determine is that I have 3 pairs of new denim that I’m planning on sending away to be tapered and chainstitch hemmed here in the US. I was hoping to add a pair of the 1955 to that, so I’ve been holding off on sending the 3.

I’m willing to wait. Like I said, I know it can be hard to estimate. Is beginning of February any more likely?

Thanks again!
