@bluemantra looking good! And there’s a old phrase going round this place. Rock 1 and stock 1

Since these are advertised as shrinking up to an inch, but stretching back out with wear, what have you guys done about sizing compared to other IH denim. I’m a tag 33 in the 14 and 21 oz pairs, but definitely appreciate the stretch that comes after wearing them.
I wear these with boots also and I’m a 30 or 30.5 inseam. Should I go with a 31 inseam in these?

@LawDawgLSU this recommendation around here is to measure a pair you like and buy the size that fits pre-wash as they will shrink and then stretch to pre-wash measurements and not much more beyond that. As for inseam length, I usually just wash them first and then send them back in for a hem. I have a 777-XHS pair I washed and had hemmed to 30.5” and after multiple washes haven’t really changed in length.

Thought you might want to see this LawDawg. As long as you know YOUR measurements, the denim will act in pretty predictable ways. I come from a time when sizing down was a norm, but pockets are awesome, so do what thou wilt.
