    i am biased, but i would beg you to consider the gateway drug, IH634S.

    here rough & dirty are a few reasons i think these will work well for you. the jean are a straight leg cut. the denim used on them is comfortable, durable & suitable for 3 out of four seasons of the year (some actually wear them year round, but that's neither here nor there).  the denim is sanforized so they look good out the box without having to be soaked.  this gets rid of some the uncertainty that can come with not being sure what size to purchase to account for shrinking & soaking.  this also frees you up to get your jeans chain stitched to a proper length before getting them without worrying about the length & having to account for shrinkage after your soak.

    i find these jeans look amazing on a wide range of body types & can be sized up or down depending on your threshold for discomfort & the kind of fit you are trying to accomplish.  to determine size & such i would measure a current pair that fit you well & compare with the sizing chart for this model.

    again 634s are it, but like i said i am biased

      634S - No Question.

      Giles offers the BEST customer service! so buy from him.

      My advice is to shoot him a PM. He'll be happy to help you figure out sizing and such..

                      *Cause you came here to ask this Q, I' think you already have half decided.

                      Get 634S's Blue Jeans (Indigo) 😉  (forget blacks and other shades)

                      As said measure your best fitting jeans that have about same rise as 634s will have. There's guide how we measure our jeans. There are other ways also, but they are wrong 🙂

                      Decide where you want your jeans to end, measure inseam. IF you want to cuff, std. cuff is 2" 😉 and add 0.5", so total addition 2,5" to your inseam lenght if you want to cuff. (no cuff, add only 0,5") to inseam lenght. 0,5" is for combing, and even 634S are sanforized, they'll shrink just a bit in lenght as all denim does.

                      And at last, but not least: Talk to G, he'll get you through it.

                        so butters, please let us know what decision you finally come to.

                        i think the jean the collective is pushing for has already been determined  😠

                          So it is clear who the Denim gods are pushing me for, and they look like a great pair of jeans.

                          However, got a little confused on the cuffing thing, and the lengths. Anyone able to straighten that out? I usually cuff , but not a thick cuff like I see some do.

                          Also, I was looking at the World Tour thread and noticed alot of changing in the sizes that Giles, Lando etc mentioned. I will measure my best fitting Jeans, but if for instance I wear a 33-34, between shrinking and stretch, what do you do?

                            33, though 32 will get to 33 easily…...

                              re cuffing.

                              If you need your jawns hemmed, here's the advice, I hope this makes sense.

                              Measure your inseam (cuffed lenght, if they are cuffed). Then add 0,5" for combing. Then add width of desired cuff. That's your total inseam lenght after hemming. Capiche?

                              I mentioned 2" cuff as I like wider cuffs, 1,5"-2" max. though. If you carefully read old posts in the forum, you'll get why I said std. cuff.  😉

                                Poor boy.  If he carefully reads old posts in the forum, his shape will probably have changed before he reaches the end…....

                                    HAHA! Probably true Giles. I have read lots of the forum, and superfuture as well. I notice a couple names like Beatle on both.

                                    The reason I brough up the sizing is because I've always read about shrinking(i.e. shrink to fit of raw denim).
                                    The IH634s are sanforised, but more shrinking is still expected right?
                                    However, the eventually stretch out? Just trying to get a feel for the shape of the jeans to expect.

                                    The indigo on the IH634s looks beautiful. Especially so after a little wear (the WT jeans looked great after a month or so).

                                    Lastly,

                                    This being the IH forum on top of IH making great jeans, I understand everyone pushing me that way. However, just to have some variety and all.

                                    Any comparible Sams, PBJ's? Just want a few Brands/models that are quality and comparible to check out as well.

                                      I'll answer the questions that I feel qualified to answer without being seen as partisan.

                                      You'll get no shrinkage out of the 634S.  None, nada, zippo.  You will get some cuff creep as the combs set, so aim for 1/2 an inch too long plus whatever you want for a cuff - if you want a cuff.

                                      Re: waist.  I would say if you want to end up at 33, get 32, if you want to end up at 34, get 33.

                                        Thanks Giles. Even hot soaks or whatever will not shrink them? Just confirming since you seem quite confident on the no shrinkage 🙂

                                          You're gonna have a much harder time finding out what size you are in Samurais and PBJs, I can tell you that much… That's why I prefer sanforised jeans... 634S'es will stretch 0.5" - 1.5" (depending on how tight they are at first), but they will not become baggy or lose their shape. After some wear, you might find they shrink a bit after a hotwash but only for a couple of hours. They go straight back to their former specs... It's magic I tells ya  🙂
