I emailed SE and they said they measure 1inch below the crotch and straight out. So I'm still confused…

@vespr^1198s:

if i recall correctly, self edge and IH use different measuring methods. this would account for the difference in measurements

How else could they measure thigh? Like a couple inches down from crotch?

One more question. Are the measurements on the ironheart.co.uk website or the ones on Selfedge more accurate? I see a difference particularly in thigh measurement, which is what I'm most concerned about. Thanks!

@riffblaster:

if you like the fit of your apc ns in 29 then i would size down 1 in the 634s.

I actually didn't like it at all-too tight and too much stretching. The button almost popped off.

@hectic:

BTW: Given stretch quotient I would go true to size, but on the lower limit (i.e.: 32 for you)

Are you referring to stretching just in the waist? I was hoping the thighs wouldn't have to stretch at all and they would be loose to begin with?

Thanks for the replies.

Hello, my first post here with some annoying questions.

I'm looking for a looser fit but not necessarily baggy. I don't want my thighs sticking out or something-I want to preserve the straight leg. I like the fit of LandoCal and Dexter.

I am short and stocky. Thighs are 22in, around the butt is 37, waist is 32-33, inseam 29in.

First of all, would these work for me? I'm not sure what kinds of body types are flattering or unflattering in this cut.
If so, what size would you recommend?
If I hem to 30in would the leg opening be wider?

For reference, I could fit 29 in APC NS (though it stretched alot), 31 in levis 501 32 in levis 514.

THanks!
