Ha, no problem.
Well, I am pretty biased in favour of the 'Osaka 5' and their mindset about making jeans so take this with a pinch of salt... But yeah, I really love Warehouse denim. Every time I have strayed away I just end up being disappointed so I definitely think they're worth the outlay. Looking at it from a cost per wear perspective, a pair of four year old Warehouse's I have are the best bang for buck jeans I've ever owned and I have owned many.
Anyway, to your question. In your shoes, I'd undoubtedly size up to a 36". I wear 33/34" Warehouse but took these in a 36". When they turned up in New York, I was like... fuck. I've had these hemmed and the waist is tiny. I'm never gonna fit into these.
Suffice to say, three weeks later they're incredibly comfortable and fit my (true) waist perfectly. They're on the slightly higher end of being mid-high rise, which is a nice contrast to most of my high rise trousers and jeans. They have a 31.5" inseam on all sizes 32" and upwards, which I had hemmed to 29" just to be safe. I could probably have done 28-28.5".
Chain stitching on their 1938 Union Special at clutch is free, by the way, so if you buy them they can take them up to whatever length you need. Are you in London? If so, get to the store - if you haven't been, it's a total destination. One that I'd travel to from afar, to be honest. Genuinely my favourite bricks and mortar shop in the world.

Yeah man, sorry my quoting skills are weak. Plus holding a baby and texting with one fat thumb. I’m a 34 in most things but know that’s vanity sizing because i had a bespoke suit for my wedding and looked at the actual measurements. I have a really short inside leg too. Just wouldn’t mind your take on whether to order up down or whatever.
