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?

Pre or post soak?
-
I thought my pair was quite big pre as well but post soak they began fitting better.
I think the rear rise should really be an inch or so shorter though, just for a tighter, cleaner fit.
-
Well it just presents me with a much higher rise than expected. I was thinking I'd be under 15" after a soak but thats not gonna happen at 15.75
Again, its not a big drama just glad the store has a 30 I can go down to. Was just curious about what the consensus was on the measurements. Feel lucky I could find some of these before its too hot in Sydney.

Resized to a 30 and received them today. They feel a lot roomier than than it looks in these pics, but I'll still be cold soaking versus hot. Prob wear them a bit before soaking too just to soften them up a bit.
