Well it looks like my Order got shipped out today. YAY!
Thanks again guys. The anticipation only grows!

@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

**this thread is a gleaming example of why this is a special place

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.

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!

@Seul:

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.

@Giles:

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

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' ?

@Giles:

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

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,

@Max:

They don't stock them, but I was referring to the size chart. Rakuten is the way to go, maybe blue owl or BiG, context can do a special order, too.

What 'store' on rakuten. Theres tons of them, and the measurements on each one for the 0805's are varied, so not sure what size, or which 'store' on rakuten to go through.

@Max:

You have to browse a bit, it's under the fitguide

Lastly, I don't see 0805's @ BiG or nordic. As a US customer, what are the best options to purchase, accounting for returns and such?

@dcg:

^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.

@injunjack:

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

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
