IH-634S - 21oz Selvedge Denim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo

Measure the Carhartt as well. If I remember correctly, there will be size 35 for the 634S'es soon. Size 34 would work but could be tight for a while…

Exactly the same. Maybe it also has something to do with the actual position on the hip (the lower the more stretch..). I´ve never owned any trousers with a w35 (34 only when I was looking for something loose), that´s why I´m reluctant to go in that direction when the general advice is TTS or 1 down.

The 634S'es are a high rise jeans so a 34W should work.

@specmvl:

But maybe a lot of the big players do 'vanity sizing'  - what are your experiences with that?

I'm pretty sure all the mainstream brands do it to some extent or another.  Based on your measurements, I'd agree with IJ and recommend a 34.  Seul's right, too.  They'll be snug for a while.

@Chipper:

Hello all,

I'm about to order a pair but would like a little advice on sizing.

I normally wear 34 levis that are a little on the tight side when new but stretch perfectly. Have just measured a couple of pairs and they are coming out at 36 inches to 36.25 inches. I don't like jeans loose so should I be ordering 34 or 36?

I don't want to have to turn them up. Any off the shelf jeans with 32inch leg fit perfectly so what length should I have them tailored too?

Would appreciate some advice

@Giles:

Go for a 34, we'll look for the largest we have here before shipping.  They'll be tight for a while, but you will eventually force them into submission.  Go for 32.5 inseam…...

Just found this conversation between Chipper and Giles in the older parts of the thread. Sounds comparable to my situation. That leaves me between 34 and 33.
I just wonder if all the other guys looking for their first pair of IH´s and referring to their usual size were talking about a number on the patch or actual measurements…

specmvl ve pm'd you!

[injunjack]

actual measurements of best fitting jeans is the key. Forget the tag size.

They look fantastic!

very nice SharkSkin-Man

[SharkSkin-Man]

Thanks, guys.

The cuffs and ankles are looking a bit sorry for themselves and the crotch hasn't got much more to give, so they'll be retired sooner rather than later I would think.

very nice Mr SharkSkin. They look so good, man I want my pair look like that too

[SharkSkin-Man]

Wear them all the time, disregard your personal hygiene and good things will happen to your jeans.
