@Palmer this is exactly what my initial train of thought was but I dug TOO deep! I just got a pair of 777S-21 and really like them but I misjudged and they’re a bit looser than I typically wear so I definitely want to get these right
@neph93 i think I should be just fine when it comes to the thigh. The post-wash thigh measurement should be damn near identical to the pair I’ve been wearing for about a year and a half now. Thanks for looking out though, I definitely appreciate it
@neph93 @Palmer @Giles thanks for all the replies guys. I’ve been trying to do my research and get the fit exactly how I’d like them but all it did was make me second guess myself even more lol it’s looking like the tag size 32 in these are going to be my closest bet. At 34.7 they should shrink to 33.7 and then back out to the 34.7ish? I feel pretty confident in these numbers, although they may be extremely snug post soak/wash.
Buy a waist that 35 inches wash it go to 34 inches it will stretch back out to 35 inches..
I wear mine don’t wash for at least six months.. but. some wash first it up to you..

I normally just wear the hell out of my jeans until they need a wash but I kept seeing people talking about how these shrink a ton when washed. Is it recommended to wash/shrink these before I wear them? Or can I just do what I normally do and wear them for months with no washes? Will they shrink back to new measurements or shrunken measurements?
If it were me I would get my normal waist size and then soak them in warm water before wearing. Might as well take care of the shrinkage in length right away so you can wash them down the road and not worry about your fades shifting. The waist will stretch back.
How much would you say they shrink in the waist? And inseam?

I know it’s been discussed but I’m still a bit confused. I know these are unwashed and there’s the potential for shrinkage but it seems no one has discussed when that occurs? If I were to wear these new for several months and get them nice and stretched out and then soak/wash them would they shrink down to close to their new measurements? Or would they shrink past the point of where they were when I got them? I normally buy a 34” waist hoping to stretch them to around 35” so if I did just that and then washed them would I wind up with a pair that fits similarly to when they were new? Or would I lose an additional inch and wind up with a pair that measures 33” in the waist?
