Long time, first time, but confused…. Help/Advice

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) 23Not 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.

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/

I think Giles once said that it might work.

No panic.
