      I can't believe I've never asked this, but I can't be the only one missing this. At the same time, I suspect it's a non starter, but here goes:

      Have you ever considered making a modern tapered cut with just a bit more room in thigh? I have multiple pairs of the 555 and 666 but they're either too big in the waist or a little too snug in the thigh. I'm sure I'm not the only guy with rugby player quads….

        @neph93 - Have you tried the 633?  For me, it was the winner. I know it's hard to break away from the IHUK infrastructure, but SE always does a good job of helping if needed.

          I haven't mate. I'm aware of the cut and suspect it may be a winner for me but the two things stopping me are my dependence on IHUK measuring and your weird US sales taxes. Also the issue of returns. So yeah, the infrastructure. I've thought about asking someone here who lives startside but is familiar with IHUK proxy for me actually.

              I may well take you up on that after the holiday season's out the way. Thanks!

                I'm in the same boat… either too wide waist measurements or thighs won't fit.  I have a pair of 1955S that fit great, but they seem to be slow sellers so I'm guessing IH won't offer more fits for those of us with fatty thighs.

                I've recently found a tailor in Copenhagen who's been doing good work repairing/modifying clothes for me.  This might be the answer I've been looking for, because then I can buy "oversize" pants that'll fit my thighs and have the tailor reduce the waist.

                  @neph93 I concur with @Appfaff, the 633 cut is definitely what you're looking for.  I'm in the same boat as you.

                    @neph93  I've also wondered about this, and have toyed with the idea of ordering the 633's from SE, but UK import tax and the return costs if the fit didn't work has put me off.

                      The 633s cut might be my favorite cut to date. Super comfortable block and thigh with a slim hem. About perfect for me.

                        Please bring back Shorts for summer - they sold ou so fast ,I'm sure there's enough demand. Would be great if  the black herringbone fabric would be used.

                          I like my cargo shorts from last summer, but I think it would be great if you made a much roomier top block for shorts.  Otherwise, they look like cut off pants.  I also think that the leg opening should be a little wider.  Nothing drastic, just a more standard shorts cut.

                            I agree to both Points, though I think I should have sized up and that would solve These issues.

                              I am not sure that it would.  My brother tried mine on, and though he is two waist sizes smaller than I, these same areas still looked off.  The crotch should hang a bit lower and the leg should be wider.  Fingers crossed for more shorts.

                                i get that the 633 is SE's cut, but among all the cuts IHUK offers there really should be a straight-tapered fit (especially as of recent most denim brands have one)… the only option is to taper the 634, but that is a fairly substantial added cost to an already expensive purchase (and at railcar an extra 6 weeks or whatever).

                                i don't mind getting the 633 from SE as i am in the US, but self edge doesn't offer some IH denim. i'm really hoping the yenim gets a 633 cut (if it comes out at all).... so far kiya hasn't said if he will carry vintage 18oz.

                                  633 sizing chart looks great, but it´s a long and expensive way to get one if you are not in the US…

                                    What I would recommend is check the sizing charts on the various 634 and 666 cuts. Different denim and different batches alter the fit slightly so you may find exactly what you need in Giles stock.

                                          Ditto on the straight-tapered. And as long as we're dreaming, a little lower front rise, with a larger differential between front/back for those of us who are "gifted" in rear, or have a beer belly! Or both. Everybody wins

                                            I have given up on a straight tapered fit other than the 633 coming out. Tapering the 634 does create a lovely fit for me.
