              What trying to determine if the IH634s were a good fit, if DC4001's would be a possibility, and what other popular brand/cuts would be up my alley - based on some measurements of jeans I already own.

                Thanks again for baring with me. Sorry for being indecisive and such. I got all the measurements up.

                      What you can always do: buy from Giles, DON'T have them hemmed. Try them on. If they don't fit, you can return them.

                        36 seems sort of big since I am a 33/34 in most bottoms, and the 1inch of stretching is expected to occur.

                        Correct me if i am wrong, but 34 is probably what I want?

                        And yes, I do need to stop pondering and just bite the bullet  😎

                          ^Well, if you need a 36…and 34+1 is 35.....  😉

                          Most brands are vanity sized.  IH is not.

                            Yes, I know what you mean. I guess I should just double check my actual waist measurements, and not some jeans to make the final call on that one.

                            😛

                              Optimally, you're probably a 35, but most IH doesn't come in 35.  I'd suggest that if you think a size 36 634s will be too roomy elsewhere, you opt for a size 36 in the Beatle Busters.

                              Measuring existing jeans that fit well, in my opinion, is a better option than measuring your waist (so long as the rise of your existing jeans is similar to the jeans you're purchasing).

                                Last Question, and it's for you Giles.

                                I typically where a 34/30 in most jeans. The inseam on those 34/30's that I love dearly is actually a 31.5. They are about perfect with my ~1 inch cuff. The 34W IH634s sound great, except clearly the inseam is going to be ….very long, even after shrinking (i'm assuming).

                                Waiting till after to hem/chainstitch is very inconvenient, so I wanted your advice on hemming w/ my order.

                                Thanks,

                                  They are sanforised so wont shrink, but you will get 1/2 inch or so apparent reduction in length when the combs set.

                                    Giles should be a spokes person for some sort of stress medication, how he manages to answer the same questions every week without coming off like a jerk is amazing.
                                    Something in the water.

                                      Thanks again Giles.

                                      With That being said, a hem of ~32 should be perfect
                                      I will probably be making my purchase very soon (today).
                                      lastly, the 'no quibble' exchange includes if hem is apart of my order' ?
