So I'm trying to decide if I should get these hemmed by G…my 634S say "34" for the length on the leather tab, but the 634S sizing page says that a 33 waist should be 35.1" long...So, brand new, would they actually be 34" or 35.1" in length, anyone know?

Don't go by the tag.  Measure them to be sure and get them hemmed to that length.  Don't forget, these are 37, not 35

[kit99bar]

Giles, you are the man.  So expected less than 1 inch stretching in the waist?

[Paul9221]

Yeah, 37" is crazy long for me.  I think I'll have to do that, Dave.  Thx

So far, I have got about 1/2 inch after 8 weeks or so….

[Paul9221]

Hey G, are these expected to shrink in length a little bit with combs and all that?  I assume so, just trying to make hem estimations.

[Giles]

I reckon you'll lose half to one inch with combs…G

My mind has been made up from ever since: let Sir Giles and his magical machine hem my IH pants…
As soon as I can place my order.

[Giles]

OK.  They are up on the site.  In a bit of a hidden area as there are no photos yet.  These will happen in the next hour or so.  All other info is accurate.

"hem" and "leg" measures are inverted.
Compared to 634S, those 634XHS look a bit wider.

ordered. hell-yeah!

Sorry, that was me - I though hem=inseam and leg=leg opening, now G tells me it’s the other way around.  Sorry, this means we have lots of inconsistency on the website, will get fixed in due course and relabelled to avoid confusion! (Even if it’s just internal confusion here at IHUKHQ!) 

[hangten]

ordered as well!!!

[D97x7]

Now I need a little lie down! Ordered!

Glad I swooped! 34s down to 2 pairs already, wow!

[Paul9221]

Can someone confirm some hem math of mine?  Total length from waist to end would be the front-rise + leg.  If I want the 634-XHS to be the same length as my 634S, and the XHS has a 11.3" front-rise versus my 634S' 10.5" rise, I would want to have the leg length be .8" shorter on the XHS, due to the higher rise.  Does that sound right?

[D97x7]

The measurements are for inside leg Paul I don't think the extra rise comes into it, I could be wrong though so best wait for someone more knowledgeable than I to answer!

[MastersOfDeath]

^this, I believe, is correct.

Paul the rise doesn't change the length of your leg it just sits higher on your waist. Unless you low ride your pants then I don't want to know you….

Gotcha, so the waist will just be higher.  I follow.

Thx guys!
