      @cm1:

      Just wondering what the leg opening on the w34 shrinks down to?  Thanks

      1/34 * pre-wash measurement

      (1 - 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.

                          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? 🙂

                                          No , and I am away until Tuesday.  I'll take a photo when I get back, but I suspect it will look like a mass of very dark blue.

                                            Like G said, I don't think you will get much from comparing the 3.  The 21oz BB is going to be the same color as your raws, the xhs will be a tad darker and the OD is black, very black.

                                            I love the absolute insanity that takes place on this board sometimes although I am not sure if it makes me feel crazier when I see other people do it or not as crazy because I'm not the only one…
