        nah seul's english  (written any way) is really spot on.  he even get's my humor so i'm partial.

        to get back on track just measure your jeans so we can figure out what size to get you in.  i haven't seen any bad advice as of yet, so you are lucky  😶

        i will also advise against reading my old posts, as you will see i'm just finding my voice around these parts  😠

          Just so happens I caught a post on the DC4001's and noticed your handle a few times.

          I like the DC4001 as well, but there seem to be some uncertainty on the sizing/fit, and love the details that were added to that Jeans, just not sure if I can fit a slim / straight very well. But I am certainly interested in that jean as well….

          Basically need to do a jean measurement, and for good measure a body measurement hah.

            It all depends on the way you are built. Mainly your thighs: if they are slim you can go with a DC4001 and you will love the jeans, if not or if you want more room to move around the 634s is what you are looking for. Otherwise there are no big differences between the two, apart from the features (leather patch, reinforced front pockets seams on the DC4, half.lined rear pockets etc.).

            I started with the DC4001 last year and got a 634s two weeks ago. I am happy with the dc4001, but I am happier with the 634s as I feel free in them.

            By the way, if you want to start with 25oz. jeans: the DC4002 is coming soon: same cut as the DC4001 just a higher backrise and 25oz.

              I wouldn't recommend starting with 25 oz. The 634s are the best gateway drug, the sizing is pretty easy, as they can be stretched a good amount and you don't have to deal with shrink-to-fit-sizing.

              If you want information on other brands - well, you said it, it's the IH-Forum. I can recommend Samurai, Flat Head, Momotaro and most other japanese repro brands as well - but most of them are STF so the sizing is more difficult. Try the 634s and if you want some other options, you can always PM me.

              And - don't forget about Triple Works - if you're looking for lighter weight jeans.

                Yep I forgot to say I find 25oz. too heavy for me, also the 24oz. by PBJ. Was just an info…

                DC4001 is good, 634s is great, imho.

                  Finally got around to getting measurements (i used BlueinGreen guide to measuring and might be off a slight bit here or there)

                  (inches)
                  waist 34
                  front-rise 10.5
                  back-rise 14
                  upper-thigh 12
                  knee 8.75-9
                  inseam 31.75
                  cuff 8.75
                  hip (accross bottom of crotch from outseam to outseam) 23

                  Not sure if I'm a candidate for the DC4001's or not. I am a fairly build guy (american football and such) , but the jeans I measured are fitting, but not too tight.

                      IH-634S W33 should be good. W34 if you want them to fit a tad looser…

                        I'd go for W34. no need to stretch them, and they shouldn't become too loose either.

                              If you want a more fitted look in the thights, take a DC4001 in W33. I have similar measurements like you and for my feeling the 634SB W33 is much too lose in the upper thight. Maybe a 634 in W32 works better. I have some pics on flickr there you can see both cuts. http://www.flickr.com/photos/61611952@N08/sets/

                                You're telling a man with a 34" waist to get a pair of jeans measuring 32 in the waist…  😞

                                Seriously: you're looking for something that fits perfectly straight out of the box, take the 634S in 34...
