@Qinhan:

I'm thinking my BR chinos would look better with just a little length taken off… thoughts?

Have you washed them yet, they shrink, my BR Chinos lost about an inch in the leg?

[Seul]

Length's ok. But have them tapered.

[grandmasterben]

Not sure if kidding, but don't taper!!!

I like cuffs so id probably go with that so there's no break. Otherwise, maybe a tiny (TINY!) hem.

Yeah, I wanted to get an accurate gauge on the length so washed them first.  I've now given them an iron too!

More pics.  No cuffs…

With cuffs…

I'm not a fan of cuffed chinos but think that maybe taking off an 1-1.5 inches might be the way to go.

I agree.

[mclaincausey]

I'd say closer to 1" or less if it were me, too much hemming will destroy the break.

[Snowy]

I agree they need tapering too, either that or better shoes/boots. Like a loose sail flapping in the breeze down there.

[Anesthetist]

I must be off, I think they look alright and I wouldn't taper them. I figure if they are BR, they are a period military pant with a fuller cut. Just my 2c.

Might try removing some length.  If that doesn't work they will make a great pair of shorts!

Just got an BNWT Iron Heart 461 fit great on legs but cannot button 2 top buttons, I cannot return as Selfedge hemmed for me, any way to stretch waist/seat area without 'unrawing' them?  Thanks

[Giles]

Wear them around the house with as many buttons done up as you can, after not too much time you'll be able to close another button.  Repeat.  You should get 2" stretch on a 40 waist.  They are not raw, so will not shrink.

634S-B (OD) vs. 634S-GR???
Need a pair for the DWC and can´t decide…

[501IH]

My vote is for the overdyed S-B.

[mahlon321]

@JCMx800, I'd say the OD. I had the GR's and they are great, but the OD's are way more exciting. Especially for a 2 yr comp.

[Giles]

Agree…..

[JCMx800]

@Giles:

Agree…..

Yes, the OD is great!!!
@Giles did you initiate a new run? Or should I order the 32" from B&S before it´s too late?

I ordered a new production run in October…

[Chris]

Shit.  That's truly frightening.

But yeah, what the hell.  I'll get the ball rolling in the next day or two.
