- NOTE: These will shrink approx 1.5" in the leg and 1" in the waist after first soak/wash. With wear the waist will stretch back out approx 1"
So if I buy the size 29 the leg opening will shrink to approximately 5.3 inches since its originally 6.8 inches?
Or is that 1.5 shrinkage for the length of the inseam? How much shrinkage could I expect in the leg opening? -
That's for the inseam. You'll get maybe half an inch of shrinkage in the thigh, knee and hem.

So I took the plunge and bought a pair of these in a 33w.
This is them post soak, which really helped tighten things up a little. The 33w were slightly too big in the top block and waist but a soak took all that in a bit. The thighs are a little tight at the moment but with some wear these will loosen off. The waist could be 1" too big but it doesn't bother me too much.
I really had to base the size of the thigh measurements. But I'm very happy with them and I love the fit.

Yes, you can always wear a belt. Deferring to thigh measurements is a smart move.

Managed to find a store carrying a size 31 and they arrived today!
I tried them on at work and thought they felt a bit looser than I expected given the measurements posted by everyone and the size chart. I think I'll have to size down, no biggy, the fabric is pretty shweet. Was just a bit bummed I may have landed a pair running pretty large…was looking fwd to busting out an IH suit over the weekend.
Measured them a few times for accuracy, would you say this is normal variation?
