Ditto re: any restock.
It's almost finally happening...
-
Copped (in 3 colours), thanks gentlemen, especially for working the Bank Holiday.
Take the dive...

After a lot of consideration, I went for these and the olive version. I think I will be wearing these two colors the most.
Unfortunately, as I had to order right while getting off of work, I didn't get to add hemming and a note regarding another request, but I sent E-Mails afterwards to clarify. Oh, and my voucher didn't get accepted and I was afraid that they'd sell out in the meantime, so I placed my order first and then reported via E-Mail that my voucher didn't work and asked for my voucher to be added post-purchase...
A lot of post-purchase chaos, but I hope to receive two really nice pairs of chinos in the end. Can't wait, will update soon.

@cityofdelusion TTS, based on where my best jeans have stretched to. I’m not expecting any stretch in these.
-
@EdH Nice, I did the same exact thing. Hope we're right

Did you allow enough room to cuff? My inseam is 30 inch. Not sure how much to hem to allow for cuffing. Any help would be appreciated.
-
-
I cuff until I've tried them on and confident on how much I want cut off. Which is usually after wearing for a few days, and playing with the cuff, leg stacking, and allowing the fabric to conform to me before I'm 100% on where I want it to be cut.
-
If there is no shrinkage to be expected, my rule of thumb is: I'll add 0.5" to the perfect/ideal length that I want my trousers to end up at in order to account for the shortening of the inseam caused by natural and frequent wear.
Example: Perfect/ideal length is 27", hem at 27.5" and with wear, the inseam will lose approximately 0.5" and end up being 27".
-
@dlrarmy these are both 33" inseam for reference
. Next time I order chinos I'll know to request an extra .5". Something about the cuff/material (denim is 21oz 555)makes a slight difference. I'm not sure but I may get the olives hemmed again. We'll see. -
@CosmoSix5 could be down to the cut? Rise impacts inseam, so if you compared 888 to 777, you may need slightly different inseam lengths (or 721 to 727, etc etc)
-
-
@CosmoSix5 i hear you, and i was just making an exaggerated example of 777 vs 888, but the point stands still. The 721s you have are based on 777 and the jeans are 555 with a significantly higher rise, so that could impact your inseam needs
-
@Alex sorry if I sounded irritated, I was just sharing exactly what the fits were so you could explain it. So generically, lower rise, shorter hem could be a rule for me. Maybe even .25 instead of .5 less

I would say so, as a general rule, yeah. I think @neph93 posted a good summary of this somewhere, but I cannot find it. Maybe someone else will
