Long time, first time, but confused…. Help/Advice

[buttersb]

@madmonday:

look  at the flicks of the way G does it.  i am sorry, but i can not tell if you are doing it right with out seeing.  you my friend are giving me a headache.  i am stepping away for a moment as i don't want to give you bad advice or become short with my responses & stuff.

• i thought xmas was reasonable as well

Thanks again for baring with me. Sorry for being indecisive and such. I got all the measurements up.

Just buy a pair that you think are close, we have a no quibble exchange policy…..

as per waist and other meas. , take 634s in 36W. and stop pondering.

What you can always do: buy from Giles, DON'T have them hemmed. Try them on. If they don't fit, you can return them.

36 seems sort of big since I am a 33/34 in most bottoms, and the 1inch of stretching is expected to occur.

Correct me if i am wrong, but 34 is probably what I want?

And yes, I do need to stop pondering and just bite the bullet

^Well, if you need a 36…and 34+1 is 35..... 

Most brands are vanity sized.  IH is not.

Yes, I know what you mean. I guess I should just double check my actual waist measurements, and not some jeans to make the final call on that one.

[dcg]

Optimally, you're probably a 35, but most IH doesn't come in 35.  I'd suggest that if you think a size 36 634s will be too roomy elsewhere, you opt for a size 36 in the Beatle Busters.

Measuring existing jeans that fit well, in my opinion, is a better option than measuring your waist (so long as the rise of your existing jeans is similar to the jeans you're purchasing).

Last Question, and it's for you Giles.

I typically where a 34/30 in most jeans. The inseam on those 34/30's that I love dearly is actually a 31.5. They are about perfect with my ~1 inch cuff. The 34W IH634s sound great, except clearly the inseam is going to be ….very long, even after shrinking (i'm assuming).

Waiting till after to hem/chainstitch is very inconvenient, so I wanted your advice on hemming w/ my order.

Thanks,

[Giles]

They are sanforised so wont shrink, but you will get 1/2 inch or so apparent reduction in length when the combs set.

[Rollo]

Fantastic thread.

Giles should be a spokes person for some sort of stress medication, how he manages to answer the same questions every week without coming off like a jerk is amazing.
Something in the water.

Thanks again Giles.

With That being said, a hem of ~32 should be perfect
I will probably be making my purchase very soon (today).
lastly, the 'no quibble' exchange includes if hem is apart of my order' ?

Please note that we can't refund or exchange jeans that we have hemmed, so do check your sizing carefully against the sizing charts and advice on the product page

Thanks. Sorry, I didn't see that.

[Seul]

No worries!..

[buttersb]

Took the plunge!

Ordered my IH634s and found a local Chainstitcher so might as well have the 'no quibble return' an option and hold of on the hem.

Thanks for all your help Giles, Seul, etc.

Can't wait to get these gems, throw up some fit pics, and break 'em in!

[elclintor]

You did good!

Excellent choice man.

[madmonday]

hopeful this will morph into your fit pictures & daily wear, since it started as a question that could of went into a number of different threads.

good luck buttersb & i hope you are happy with your purchase

I agree.
Giles, Yourself, Max, Seul, and others (first names that came to mind) somehow found a way to ride it out as I pestered the forum with questions. Questions that I am sure have been asked countless times, since eternity. However, it is a considerable investment ($350-400) and with that kind of money comes hesitation, doubt, and questioning.

But Giles and co. seem to soldier on despite the nagging :). I assume because it's a labor of love, loved by many. I am sure once I get my pair I will be converted like all the rest !

Thanks again. Fit pics for sure. Someone said I better have some by Xmas (fingers crossed). And WAYWT on ocassion, I'm sure.

[Seul]

Great choice, lad!.. And don't worry about "pestering" us: we love helping (new) folks out!..

Good to hear about the local chainstitchplace; that way you can indeed still return them if they don't fit!..
