Sounds good advice, thank you.
@hilly So my advice would certainly be to give them a soak in fairly hot water and agitate them while they soak to get the water moving around and into the fibres. They will shrink by around an inch in length and probably a little less in the waist. The width of the leg will tighten slightly and the rise shorten a little. Those areas put under pressure will stretch back out again with wear.
