      if you can afford it and it makes you happy that's good enough

      for me, well no one really knows how much I spend on my jeans. it doesn't come up in conversation and I don't bring it up.

      my wife knows, and she gets it, though I'm still struggling to get her to join the party. (not easy now cause she's in the middle of a pregnancy; I'll pick up the battle again in a few months)

        I have a sizing question.

        wondering how busters in 36 compare to 634 in 34.

        I have a pair of busters in 36. which I am finding too tight in the thighs, especially sitting/riding a bike. Also a bit big in the waist and I know they could stretch another 1". I know the thighs could stretch some more (only worn a week or so) but don't expect it to be enough.

        Seat is good and knees down is perfect.
        Basically I want a smaller waist and larger thighs. Would I get this by going with the 34 634? is there anything with the upper half of the 634 and a slimmer lower half available or coming out?

        let me know if there is a better place to post this or info already posted.

        Love the jeans in many ways and honestly they look good, but don't think the fit is as livable as I would like.

            You know what I would find very useful: an order page where if you want something which is either out of stock or something you know which is new that is coming into stock you could put down an order for it and when it comes in of when you Giles are about to order it I'm contacted to say okay here it is or would you like to purchase?  I say this as I don't pour over every single post here and often don't see things since there are just SO many title pages it all gets lost.  I know you have done it on a few items but they are all on seperate pages which I simply cannot find due to time or they're just buried.  I suggest this as I could sleep easier knowing that something is coming in and I have my name down for it.  Please consider this.

                    Beatle a world of difference.

                    With the first one there is zippo chance of a restock.  I use it on endangered items and it is a mechanism for me to understand how many more I would have sold so that the next time I release a new product, I can be more accurate with my ordering.

                    With the second.  I use it on extant items, so that people can let me know to email them when I get a restock.

                          This site suggests that the thighs on the 2 jeans are similar and that a w34 634 would be smaller than a w36 buster. The
                          Selfedge site shows the smaller 634 having a larger thigh than the bigger buster. So i am a little confused about how the thigh and seat would compare.
                          the pictures and descriptions suggest the buster is a slimmer jean, but your measurements don't really support this.

                          thanks for the help.

                          loving the IH denim and plan on just sticking with it and adding maybe a lighter weight for warmer weather/dancing in sweaty venues

                            lol, 2 sizes smaller and the thigh on the 634s is still bigger, I guess that suggests that the Buster is a whole lot slimmer than tthe 634s.

                                    My question is whether or not this is true.
                                    self edge says the w34  634's have a bigger leg than the w 36 busters. this site says they don't.
                                    what accounts for this difference?

                                      • Kiya may be measuring different than G. [THIS LINK shows exactly how G measures. Kiya doesn't have details on his site. Slight differences in technique can lead to quite different numbers especially at the thigh.
                                      • These are hand made products and each piece is gonna vary a bit.

                                      But that said, even with perfect measurements, you really just gotta try 'em on and see how they fit. The differences in rise will affect how the thigh (and waist of course) fits you. If you have a pair of jeans that fit you well (or don't) you can measure them using G's technique and compare, that's a good starting point. Then you buy them from G, they're on your legs in a few days. Hell, G will even measure the individual pair that he's gonna send you, if you ask. If you don't like them, he takes them back and is gonna make you happy one way or another. So you're out what, like $10 for shipping?

                                      Or of course if you're near a SE store (I'm guessing, like me, you're not) head on in and they'll fit you.](http://www.ironheart.co.uk/how_we_measure.html)
