i can't decide on what length inseam to get when i order my rakers

im pretty tall, but a 34" is good for me normally....would they look shit being hell tight with epic stacks??

id rather not hem them as well due to the fact that the finish probably wouldnt be as good as the original

Depends on what you want my man.
I'm a fan of epic stacks as long as they sit right.

Measure your inseam, it's something you should know anyways. Put a book in between your legs and measure from the top of the book to your inner heel. For jeans it's advisable to go 2-4" from whatever your inseam is, depending on the amount of stacks you want and if you're soaking.

If you have a 29-30" inseam, go with 32 in jeans. 31-32" inseam, go with 34. (i.e. I have a 31" inseam and always go with 34 on jeans)

Hemming is NEVER a good idea, I don't care what anyone says.

and slackers

are slackers just skinny jeans with like a high waist

like normal/baggy jeans

NEW DENIM HYPE MUST HOP ON BUS

slackers dont seem that skinny, rakers are skinny
slackers are nice slim fit jeans
not high waisted either, just higher rise than grifters
the rise is about 10 point something, which would be midrise

Depends on whether you want a super slim fit (Rakers) which are prolly equivalent to Levis 510's...or Grifters, which are slim but not super skinny.

Decision's up to you and your personal preference.

im not sure if grifters are comparable to levis, but i dunno

if u buy Sanforized, get tts or size up 1 if you want more waist room
if you buy Un-Sanforized, then get up 1 or up 2 if you want more room
all of this info is on his site...

Lol you remind me of myself a week back grizzzly, I was all over the place trying to figure out which pair of jeans I wanted to buy.

Slackers are the same as Grifters except that Slackers have more thigh room and a higher rise.
Rakers are basically 510's, I believe Grifters should be between 514 & 511 but more to the 511 slim. & Slackers I would say would probably be like 520's or exactly between 514 & 511s.
