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

[injunjack]

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

@Seul:

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

this…

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...

Right on Seul…

I think Giles once said that it might work.

[Seul]

What's next: advising someone to downsize on the 25 oz. models?..

[ChuckDenim]

No panic.

[Seul]

Don't worry baby, I'm just

be advised, your current jeans have:  knee:9, hem: 8.75
the 34 634S will have:  knee:9.4, hem: ~9.1 (after hemming)

basically, a lot looser than your current jeans.

[Seul]

Well unless you have it tapered but I guess only a madman would do that…

[kit99bar]

looks like beatle busters fit closest to his current pair.

[Seul]

Then there must be something wrong with his measurements…

[DougNg]

The difference in the diameter of the knee of those jeans would be 0.127". Not sure if that qualifies as a lot looser. That's an eighth of an inch in the diameter

I know I'm late to the game, but I would have to agree that the 634S would be the way to go. For the athletic types, a tapered fit makes you look like a carrot with big feet

[kit99bar]

nobody thinks in terms of diameter for jeans!  We think of measurements as they are laid flat.
I can tell you that a knee that is .4 inches bigger is a huge fit difference.

634s is the answer
