Can someone with a 34 measure straight across, starting at the bottom seam of the pocket, like here, where the red square is:

I have the same problem as well and am looking for an answer to this too.

Yes, but the leg will also be off. I just have wide hips, my legs are quite slim. I also don't believe in having to spend extra on $150+ items to have them fit me. At that cost, it's pretty much take it or leave it for me.

Fair enough. I agree that the cut may just not be for you. I have unfortunately sold off my chinos so I can't help you out.

Looks super good. Can't wait to pick one up. Already have an Apolis one that I love, but I feel like one can never own too many blue oxfords...

Also, think I have been to this restaurant before. Is it in DC area? Don't remember what it's called but looks strangely familiar...

Down the block from some canal, around the corner from Barney's?

G'Town is soooo expensive. Love it though.

NP, I'll have one of our dudes take this measurement for you on a 34.

Ah, sorry about that! We've already got a restock order in, so we should get more of them in about 3-4 weeks. The point collar oxfords have been a huge hit, so we're going to stock them regularly for a while.

Thank you sir! You're going to love that shirt. Try it on with chinos for the first time - the colors coordinate perfectly.

Nice, thanks for posting the pic! And speaking of pics, have you guys seen Jeff Bridge's Widelux shots from "True Grit." They're amazing. He uses a swing-lens analog panoramic camera to take them.

http://jeffbridges.com/true_grit_book/ In fact, it's worth checking out the whole photography section of his site. He also put out a great book a few years ago - I totally recommend it if you dig his movies. http://www.jeffbridges.com/photojan10a.html
