@DougNg:

That will only last until the first wash

Then whatever shrinking that is destined to happen will happen

You can't locally shrink

Gotcha.  For what's it worth for others: I have since washed and dryed the jeans and if they shrunk at all in the inseam, it was pretty minor.

Hey there -

I just got my first pair of Iron Heart Jeans (634S) and I actually want to shrink the thigh and soften them up just a little bit.

However, I don't want the inseam to shrink at all.  Any recommendations?  Would a tumble dry on low be dangerous for this sort of thing.  The crew at Self Edge in San Francisco told me that these wouldn't shrink much.  What's been your experience?

Thanks!
