      I really believe that it is the speed of drying that determines the amount of shrinkage.  I've never measured it scientifically though….

          G is right, fast hot drying will cause major shrinking ( radiator, dryer ) so be careful…
          Drying them in a warm room ( I used the kitchen ) I found worked the best.

                          Try buttoning several times while not wearing to loosen the holes a bit. Make sure you pee before putting them on.

                                  Going to have to sit this one out (or lose some weight real quick!).  Tried on a pair of 36s at SE and the fit was pretty good but that was pre-soak.  They would have hurt pretty bad post soak (or I wouldn't have been able to get them on).

                                  Looks like I'm going to be 4F in the RAWWAR.

                                    why don´t you cop a 38, do a superhotsoak, use the hottest radiator you can find and then you should be good to go…
                                    otherwise cop the 36 and soak while wearing the jeans...after that wear to dry!

                                    i had the same "problems" tbh...my presoak fit was just right at the waist, then i did a 30min. coldsoak and after the soak i had major problems to button all the buttons...now, after the war, all buttons are closed and the denim has almost stretched back to presoak measurements!
