Anyone have any experience getting the leg below the knee tapered on this cut? I had to get the 634 because it's the only jean I could find with a 33" waist, 13" thigh and a 36+" inseam. I love my XHS, but I think I'd like a smaller leg opening and less baggy below the knee look.
I have a reputable denim tailor (Railcar fine goods) that will do the work. I'm worried about how the extra heavy duty will react to a taper.
Also, these jeans of mine are pretty new; one soak and about 6 days of wear so far. Should I get them altered now or wait until they are a little more broken in?

I got my pronto double indigo 25oz tapered by rail car knee and below and it worked greet . I also reduce the leg opening and the job well done by rail car .
XHS doesn’t react at all. It looks all natural like it was tailored tapered by iron heartSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I had my 634DD tapered by RCFG and my 666xhs done by a local tailor who had worked with SE PDX quite a bit. Both pair turned out great

Nah, I promised G it would be the last time. I should just change it to Mike. But that's already taken.

These are my next pr. My 666XHSs are no longer a viable option.

That’s awesome. Do you know about how much you tapered the leg opening? I’m thinking as much as 1 1/2” maybe 2” but worried that will be too much

Pro tip: Look at the tapered IH cuts (555, 777, 888, 633) to see which one you like and note the measurements at thigh, knee and hem. Measure the actual thigh on your pair and extrapolate from there. The last bit is important because you don't want to take a 634 thigh down to a 555 hem. That would give you a carrot cut. I'd recommend using the 888 as a starting point as this cut is based on the 634.

I always liked the measurements here, but was put off by the very large leg opening (waist 36) and need to taper. I'd rather not have to screw around with jeans straight off the bat, but that might be what I do if I buy these next. I have the 888 UHRs now, so time to eye up the next thing

I’m crossing my fingers for 888-XHS one day.
Just get these and taper? There's not that much difference. These have a tad less front rise but in my size they are otherwise the same…

Great idea. I was going to base the taper off of two pairs of 3sixteens I have. Probably safer to base my measurements on existing IH cuts
I can’t afford any taper through the thighs however; 13” is a minimum as it turns out. Have a pair that measures at 12.5 and the crotch is blowing out because they bind
