[barun]

probably not enough to measure

1/34 * pre-wash measurement

Leg opening???

[Giles]

Mokky, whoops.  Maths never my best subject.

IJ, what is the question?

[injunjack]

ahh, that was just a general notice… like "Really???"

G, I trusted your maths, but then I'm totally mathematically incapable 

[cm1]

Confusing? So the raw leg opening shrinks anything from 0.75inches to 1 inch? Shrinks down to about 8.2inches?

[Giles]

The leg opening (and all other horizontal measurements) shrink by the same ratio as the waist does.

So the waist shrinks 1 inch, thus the total shrinkage is 1/34 which is 2.94%

So you will get 2.94% shrinkage on the 9.1 measurement of the leg opening.  Which is approx .26 of an inch.  So will end up at approx 8.8.

BUT, there is always a plus or minus sewing tolerance, so the original 9.1 is an average anyway.

Carol Vorderman??  Thanks for your help.  We got there in the end!!

I love it when wearing a pair of jeans becomes scientific…

[Giles]

I dont

[kit99bar]

I have pre and post soak measurements a page back or so!  You can get a good guess from that

[Beatle]

god, guys, will shrink apprx 2%..what´s so hard to understand

[kit99bar]

Mine shrank from 8.25 to 7.9 and the raw of a 34 is 9.1->  9.1 X 7.9 / 8.25 = 8.7 inches for a 34 after soak.

Note: I don't think mine has fully shrunk (like after a hot wash) so you can probably get a bit smaller.  like 8.5 - 8.6

What about the inseam?

[Beatle]

inseam will shrink over course of life time..probs 1.5 inches with hot soak

I really want some 18oz IH denim, and the knee and hem are perfect on these, but my stupid thighs are too big.
