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

          Then there must be something wrong with his measurements…

            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

            I know violence is not the answer, I got it wrong on purpose

              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.

                      I am going to re-measure the jeans and I will let you know.
                      I will also measure my PRPS jeans (that fit comfortably but looser/longer fit (need hemming).

                      I used http://blueingreensoho.com/site/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=30&Itemid= for the measurement guide.
                      Is there something else that is advised instead?

                        the G way.  you can see how on trouser product pages & click on the how we measure section, but here is the text without his pretty pictures:

                        *Waist: Lay your jeans flat and try and get the front and back waist band parallel. Measure the width and multiply by 2.

                        *Front Rise: Measure from the central crotch seam to the top of the waistband.

                        *Thigh: Lay the jeans flat ensuring that any the rear rise material is to the left of the centre seam and measure the TOTAL width (not just to the centre seam) ensuring that the measuring tape is at right angles to the weft (white) yarns.

                        *Knee: Measure 13" down from the central crotch seam. Measure the width of the leg at that point.

                        *Rear Rise: Measure from the central crotch seam to the top of the waistband.

                        *Inseam: Measure down the inseam of the leg from the central crotch seam to the bottom of the leg.

                        *Cuff or Hem: Measure the width of the leg at the bottom of the jean.

                        now sh!t or get off the pot.  i need to see your fit pictures before christmas  😠

                        sorry off my meds

                          On my Heshers', when flat, the front waist band is pretty far below the back waist band. What is this called?
                          And you are saying that i should lay them flat and pull the front waist line to be fairly even with the back, before measuring?

                          Just want to clarify…

                          LOL Madmonday, I am trying to determine what pant, and I will order. Xmas is a pretty reasonable goal....

                            it's called a low a$$ rise.

                            probably can see your pubs sticking out  😠

                            oh yeah, line them up per giles instruction.

                              Ok, measuring both the heshers and the prps jeans now.

                              Looks like measuring the cuff is now the full with of the jean at the opening, but just the opening itself. Is that corrent?

                              Asking because people were quibling over my measurements in earlier posts…

                                      FR: 10.5'

                                      The heshers are nice and fitted (comfortably snug even), these are nice and roomy.
