      I would say no cuff on this type of pant, personally. Sorry to split the decision!

        I can see both view points. I'm firmly on the fence. My wife's view was hemming makes them look a bit more like smarter trousers with pockets, and cuffing looks more casual work wear. Kind of agree.

        I guess my preferred asthaetic has always been the slightly scrappy look, but I think both work for these.

          I had mine hemmed and was glad I did. Personal taste, but I feel like the tapered leg calls for it, whereas a wider hemmed pair that I would wear with a heavier boot I happily cuff.

              Is there any pics of someone who didn’t size down? I kinda think cargos should be on the baggy side

              How warm are these? 11oz makes me think they are not winter but I have no experience with the whip cord

                  My photos just before Josh James are not sized down.

                  I also have the newer restock version and ordered a size down but only because I trusted the measurements. I asked for a larger waist in the next size down. I wanted the same fit as these and pretty much got it except the new pair is slightly more snug.

                  Turned out good. I wear the more relaxed pair to work in.

                      Just got mine and am so in love with this one. It's at once relaxed and slim; the cut is magic. Here it is with my favorite 246 NIN.

                      And I have to thank Graham for being so patient with me. The crew is awesome. Strange that I'd rather be shopping with the site than going to a physical store. Thanks again and looking forward to my next purchase.

                            @vaquero357 I tried to get this newer version(38) to fit the same as my original version(size 40). To do so I trusted the new measurements in the waist and ordered a 38 and asked for a slightly bigger waist to match my size 40. I'm happy with the results but the newer pair are slightly more fitted all the way down. I like them both and wear the more relaxed(40) to work in.

                            The inseams on both pairs have been hemmed by IHUK at 33" like I do most all my pant to leave room for a bug cuff.

                              Hi Guys,

                              Quick question about hemming. For these, do I need to get them chain-stitched? Or is regular hemming ok?

                                I'm tempted but literally would need a size 35 as the 36 got pretty wide in the waist and 34 is too small.

                                There is no stretch on these. Really none. So the 36 would be the way to go. I wish I had done that first time round.

                                Hi Reuben, I got a 34 size with a 35.5" waist, I would need them to stretch close to 36.0". You don't think that is going to happen?
                                Thanks.

                                  I believe you could get half an inch of stretch, but I wouldn’t expect much more!

                                    You can do both in theory, but I would go for a flat hem.

                                      @rodalbird i agree with Adam. Are they on their way to you? The 888 rise sits high as well, I mention it in case you aren’t used to it.

                                        @neph93 I have them with me (after an epic struggle Graham and I had to put up with DHL customs dept.). They fit great but for a mild discomfort on the waist when I am sitting down.
                                        Thanks!

                                          I had a more than mild discomfort in mine, as well as a muffin top belly. I worked with them and experienced a little stretch, but never enough for them to be a long term thing.

                                          Your 35.5 inchers would be perfect for me. I’m tempted to have another go now the waist has gotten bigger, but I’ve also got my eyes on other things.

                                            I grabbed a pair and absolutely love them made more than one should love a pair of pants. I typically wear a tag size 34 but had to exchange for a size 36.
