          1/34 * pre-wash measurement

                Mokky, whoops.  Maths never my best subject.

                IJ, what is the question?

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

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

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

                      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.

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

                                  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? 🙂
