    @madmonday:

    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…

              What trying to determine if the IH634s were a good fit, if DC4001's would be a possibility, and what other popular brand/cuts would be up my alley - based on some measurements of jeans I already own.

                      What you can always do: buy from Giles, DON'T have them hemmed. Try them on. If they don't fit, you can return them.

                        36 seems sort of big since I am a 33/34 in most bottoms, and the 1inch of stretching is expected to occur.

                        Correct me if i am wrong, but 34 is probably what I want?

                        And yes, I do need to stop pondering and just bite the bullet  😎

                          ^Well, if you need a 36…and 34+1 is 35.....  😉

                          Most brands are vanity sized.  IH is not.

                            Yes, I know what you mean. I guess I should just double check my actual waist measurements, and not some jeans to make the final call on that one.

                            😛

                              Optimally, you're probably a 35, but most IH doesn't come in 35.  I'd suggest that if you think a size 36 634s will be too roomy elsewhere, you opt for a size 36 in the Beatle Busters.

                              Measuring existing jeans that fit well, in my opinion, is a better option than measuring your waist (so long as the rise of your existing jeans is similar to the jeans you're purchasing).

                                Last Question, and it's for you Giles.

                                I typically where a 34/30 in most jeans. The inseam on those 34/30's that I love dearly is actually a 31.5. They are about perfect with my ~1 inch cuff. The 34W IH634s sound great, except clearly the inseam is going to be ….very long, even after shrinking (i'm assuming).

                                Waiting till after to hem/chainstitch is very inconvenient, so I wanted your advice on hemming w/ my order.

                                Thanks,

                                  They are sanforised so wont shrink, but you will get 1/2 inch or so apparent reduction in length when the combs set.

                                    Fantastic thread.

                                    Giles should be a spokes person for some sort of stress medication, how he manages to answer the same questions every week without coming off like a jerk is amazing.

                                      Thanks again Giles.

                                      With That being said, a hem of ~32 should be perfect
                                      I will probably be making my purchase very soon (today).
                                      lastly, the 'no quibble' exchange includes if hem is apart of my order' ?
