So when I began my raw / selvedge denim binge. I learned that getting your true size inseam is a no go. Lately I've been getting either a 34-36 inseam, but I noticed that 2 pairs of my raws (same brand) are actually a 33.5 and a 32 inseam. (When I purchased them. I was told they were a 35 inseam, so I'm currently emailing the brand to see if I can switch the unworn pair for another pair, but with a 34 inseam) I'm guessing the 33.5 is fine, but I'm worried that they will run short after I break them in.
So what size inseam do ya get? True to length size or do you go 2 inches longer?

Little bit longer with 32 inches. I don't like a clean break in my jeans. I like having a bit of material fold on the lower legs of whatever shoe or boot I am wearing.

I actually don't mind a 33.5 inseam, but it irks me when I was told that the raws are a 35 inseam. I still can do a double fold (slim cuff) on my 33.5 inseams and still have a decent amount of stacking, but I like my 3/4 cuff folds better. |

I hem my jeans at 32" after a wash so I typically go 2" longer to account for shrinkage. The one and only exception I made was with my Leon Denim which were at 32" when I bought them. However, this is my only pair of denim that I don't plan to wash at all.

I leave mine stock, I need a 33" or 33.5" inseam. After a few washes a few pairs are perfect with no cuff and most are a single cuff. New unsanforized usually work fine with just a single cuff after a rinse and sanforuzed typically need either a large single cuff or a double cuff until they get a hot wash.
I've also stopped hemming chinos as I don't mind them with a cuff either, especially selvedge.

Thank you guys, I had an issue with both pairs of my Raleigh's, I'm in contact with the owner of the company and I'm hoping they will fix the issue.
