Broark 8,519 Posted February 9 SF01 patch is my favorite that Roy has done. I’d love to find a pair in my size for the collection. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I picked up the R01, and like them so much I grabbed the Test Lots too. I can't get enough of this cut these days. Roy is killing it.

Glad I have the R01 test lots that I haven’t soaked yet. Sounds like the new jeans with SE will be released on the 15th. +2 to Roy's Memorial cut. It really a great. I was just comparing fits of some of my different pairs, and his is the best high-rise straight leg. Possibly the best cut period. What works so well for me is the proportions of waist-hip-thigh. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I had a pair of 1955-UHR but sold them. I didn't think they fit me anywhere near as good as Roy's cut. Maybe if I had sized down about 2-3 sizes they would have worked better. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Agree, I have both and they fit similarly -- both have a lot of room in the hips, thighs, and knees, but come in at the waist. Both are also size 34 and the Roy's are a touch bigger, pretty much everywhere. But the shape is similar. The IH pair I have is also significantly brighter blue, not quite 'electric'. I prefer the more subdued color of the Roy's. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JDelage 2,374 Posted February 10 (edited) Here are the measurements of my Roy Memorial 34, Peanut 34 (now sold) and a IH 1955S 33: -------RoyM34--RoyP34--IH33 Waist----35----35----34 Thigh----13.25----13.5----13 Knee----9.75----10----9.75 F Rise----12.5----13----12.5 B Rise----17----17.5----17 Obviously, the feel of the denim (the IH being much heavier and stiffer at first) and the construction details are different. I'm not arguing in favor of one or the other (I love both). I'm just perplexed by reading raving comments about the Roy Peanuts & Memorial fit given that the 1955S seems the least loved of all the IH jeans. (This is partly self interested as I'm hoping that IH will make the 1955S in other denims, which can only happen if the cut gets more popular...)

There's a lot more to patterning that determines how jeans look and fit far beyond the basic measurements we refer to. Even though the Roy's and IH's share very similar basic measurements, I find the fits to be quite different. The 1955 seems like a good idea on paper, but some how misses the mark for me. I don't get why IH describe it as their interpretation of 501's from 1955; I'm no Levi's historical fanatic, but they don't seem to resemble any 501's to me. IH's higher-rise cuts have too much hip flare on my frame. Here are comparison pics of Roy Memorial size 34 and IH-1955-UHR size 34, both fully shrunk. I sold the Memorial 34's and copped a pair of R01 32's. The 1955 in 32 31 would suit me better; heck, I could maybe even go down to a 31... but no, not interested... 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

501XX4EVER 2,214 Posted February 11 The denim does look very nice, they're a bit to rich for my blood though. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lance 127,427 Posted February 11 The Black-Seed denim and generous dimensions have me thinking. I spoke to Roy years ago when he first mentioned Black-Seed cotton and it’s something special! 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ecsong187 1,334 Posted February 11 So is this the same black seed he used for the test lot and memorials? Or a new denim? The rinsed unsanforized throws me off. Too rich for my blood so I’ll be passing but I like the black buttons. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
goodrain 860 Posted February 11 I think there is only one Black Seed denim. Looks like the same cut as the Peanuts/Memorials which will be a pass for me. I was hoping for something more tapered like the Kinda Specials. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheEscapist 98 Posted February 11 Kiya said they would be a different fit than the R01 on his first IG announcement, but those measurements do seem familiar. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
julian-wolf 1,327 Posted February 12 When I was in SESF the other day, it was mentioned that the cut would have more of a taper than the Memorial and Test Lot jeans, but looking at those measurements it really doesn't seem like it. Funny, either way, how they chose to size the pair for the model fits—they look wayyyyy baggier than in any other pictures I've seen. @ecsong187, it's the usual (unsanforized) Black Seed denim, but has been rinsed by Roy post-construction. Nothing confusing there. Agreed on the black buttons, though: those look great. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jegr 50 Posted February 12 A little bit of helping talking me into or out of these. How does the black seed denim breathe? Would I be punishing myself as much as I think wearing these in the Florida heat? Also, I've seen different sizing advice on the cut but given the high rise and large all around measurements is sizing down one or two safe even with the amount of shrinkage expected? I usually shoot for something between a 32-33 waist and was thinking a 32 with a hot wash or two would be good... although I've never had something with this kind of rise and I wouldn't want them falling down... 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
