      I am with @Finn666 on this subject. I had my Mbb's tapered and to me made them perfect. I am constantly searching for a pair of jeans that i don't have to touch and all the measurements are perfect. That to me is the grail.

        …and becoming a little more open minded by seeing the real problem one has is what i would suggest to some. ass kissing with saying things to impress "somebody" isn't always the right thing to do and imo not really helpful to the guy having the problem and asking the question!

          I have also had work done to IH 21oz by The Denim Doctor in Manchester, like spitfiredealer, and I guess what he does can be done by other tailors skilled in working with heavier denim. You can get full leg taper along the inside leg seam which preserves the selvedge seam or you can get a taper from the knee down, along either the inner or outer (selvedge) seam.
          In my opinion this is second best when compared to finding the right IH fit but i understand that for some people this is a great solution when their perfect fit is still to materialise.

            I dunno if i imagined this but was there not talk of the jeans being made to measure the same at say 34" and 37". So it tapered to 34 and then stayed the same for the extra length? @Giles

                    Tinker with your jeans all you want. I had two cuts altered and wasn't satisfied with it afterwards. It might be a small alteration, but in the end you modify a thoughtfully constructed pair of jeans.

                          Name calling probably isn't the right thing to do, but I agree with Rafa as well. You should do whatever you want to your jeans. Everybody has a different body so there is no reason to assume that any one cut will fit you correctly or everybody in the same way (regardless of how well thought out the design is). For example, it looks like Rafa has huge thighs. Obviously there is risk involved, but to some people it's worth it. Let them worry about it.

                            didn't call any names so why so serious?

                              Like I said before, in my opinion, having jeans altered is second best to finding the perfect fit for your body.
                              Here are some pics of work done;
                              first pics; taper from knee down on inside leg seam to 25oz Sams (going to IH to be hemmed)
                              second pic: taper from knee down on selvedge seam
                              third pic: full leg taper, through crotch, along inside leg seam

                                I had some RRL jeans done which were a straight leg. The top box and the thigh were great but I wanted a taper from the knee. I wouldn't have bothered, but I liked the denim and the rest of the fit was great.

                                As for IH, well I only have the one pair of 555 and am happy with them. The second round of 777 sound like they will be even better.

                                  I'm looking for somebody in SoCal to taper my 25oz, using the inside seem. Looks like RFG won't do anything above 21oz. Might have to pony up some extra coin, but I want someone good. Any leads would be appreciated.

                                      I also feel like the leg opening gets too big in bigger sizes. Not a specific IH Problem, though.

                                      I'll second this. I'm always jealous of guys a similar height like Giles that can wear the smaller sizes and have a more attractive shape to their jeans from knee to leg opening. (Though I'm doubly cursed with jeans because my ass and thighs are huge, so I can only fit in the loosest cuts if I want a waist that fits)

                                      I suppose it's like pocket sizing- the pockets look perfect on those of us with the larger sizes, but look oversized for guys in the smallest sizes. I understand the logic of not wanting a less functional pocket, of course.

                                        Now that RFG doesn't taper jeans 21oz or heavier, from whom do I get my 634-SR tapered? Any suggestions? thanks.

                                            Ciano works with some super heavy stuff. 30+ ounce. He might be able to help. He is very good about working doing stuff not listed on the menu. Might be worth a shot anyway.
