Im well aware that 666 sizing has been covered already. But Im going to ask for your precious opinion anyway.

I measured my favorite (=best fitting) jeans and here are the results in centimeters. Current jeans on left, IH size 34 on right.

Waist        88          86,4
F. rise      28,5        28,6
R. rise      39          40,0
Thigh        31          31,8
Knee        21,5        23,5
Hem        19            21,6
Inseam      85            94,0

My current jeans have a centimeter or two of room on the waist so it shouldn´t be a problem to fit into 34 IH´s, right? How much shrinkage can I expect to have on the inseam? I`d like to get them hemmed properly (chain stitch) right away.

Thigh sizing might be a problem if IH`s shrink more than 8 mm. My thighs won´t get any smaller, that´s for sure.. crossfit, baby! 

Sooooo, any thoughts? I`d go for size 34. Size 36 has 91,4 cm waist and that´s waaaay too spacious (is spacious even a word?).

Thanks!

They look fine to me in 34.  You'll get a 1/2 inch or so of shrinkage, but they'll also ride up a bit when the creases form.  I wear mine about 1.5 inches longer than my real inseam.  G

it´s all good…we did know that already

[RocknRoll]

If I get these tight fitting at the start, will I be able to stretch the waist 1.5 inches, or am I dreaming?

[Giles]

I think expecting an inch and a half will be a stretch (sic).  But am going to re look at sizing today, I have a feeling the actual waist size i ls larger than the chart suggets,  And Paula will be back to you later today to answer your question of the week end.
