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

[ChuckDenim]

If you want a more fitted look in the thights, take a DC4001 in W33. I have similar measurements like you and for my feeling the 634SB W33 is much too lose in the upper thight. Maybe a 634 in W32 works better. I have some pics on flickr there you can see both cuts. http://www.flickr.com/photos/61611952@N08/sets/

You're telling a man with a 34" waist to get a pair of jeans measuring 32 in the waist… 

Seriously: you're looking for something that fits perfectly straight out of the box, take the 634S in 34...

Right on Seul…

I think Giles once said that it might work.

What's next: advising someone to downsize on the 25 oz. models?..

[ChuckDenim]

No panic.

Don't worry baby, I'm just

be advised, your current jeans have:  knee:9, hem: 8.75
the 34 634S will have:  knee:9.4, hem: ~9.1 (after hemming)

basically, a lot looser than your current jeans.

[Seul]

Well unless you have it tapered but I guess only a madman would do that…

[kit99bar]

looks like beatle busters fit closest to his current pair.

[Seul]

Then there must be something wrong with his measurements…

The difference in the diameter of the knee of those jeans would be 0.127". Not sure if that qualifies as a lot looser. That's an eighth of an inch in the diameter

I know I'm late to the game, but I would have to agree that the 634S would be the way to go. For the athletic types, a tapered fit makes you look like a carrot with big feet

[kit99bar]

nobody thinks in terms of diameter for jeans!  We think of measurements as they are laid flat.
I can tell you that a knee that is .4 inches bigger is a huge fit difference.

I am going to re-measure the jeans and I will let you know.
I will also measure my PRPS jeans (that fit comfortably but looser/longer fit (need hemming).

I used http://blueingreensoho.com/site/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=30&Itemid= for the measurement guide.
Is there something else that is advised instead?

the G way.  you can see how on trouser product pages & click on the how we measure section, but here is the text without his pretty pictures:

*Waist: Lay your jeans flat and try and get the front and back waist band parallel. Measure the width and multiply by 2.

*Front Rise: Measure from the central crotch seam to the top of the waistband.

*Thigh: Lay the jeans flat ensuring that any the rear rise material is to the left of the centre seam and measure the TOTAL width (not just to the centre seam) ensuring that the measuring tape is at right angles to the weft (white) yarns.

*Knee: Measure 13" down from the central crotch seam. Measure the width of the leg at that point.

*Rear Rise: Measure from the central crotch seam to the top of the waistband.

*Inseam: Measure down the inseam of the leg from the central crotch seam to the bottom of the leg.

*Cuff or Hem: Measure the width of the leg at the bottom of the jean.

now sh!t or get off the pot.  i need to see your fit pictures before christmas 

sorry off my meds
