thanks guy. I'll probably just soak them and see how it goes. still, I doubt they can shrink up 1". sounds too much.

@ALEX1976:

chill man. why the excitement?

[Jarhead]

Hmm… might as well get a tailor made cotton duck. Best fit of all, choose your own cutting length...etc  no worries. Enjoy rocking z duck

@Finn666:

if you´re really are that concerned, then i´d just go ahead and give´em a quick soak to see what´s up!…if nothings happened, then re-hem, otherwise just wear and hope for more shrinkage during the next soaks/washes!...

read it and chill;-)
u re make a big drama boy!

im all relax buddy. its soaking as im typing now.  however i still think to shrink 1" is kinda mission impossible. gonna get them hemmed again i guess.. 

[ALEX1976]

i don´t think cotton shrink 1"…....my 806 where given a hot soak and they shrink minimal....
by the way is 16 oz cotton @ the 806 and 17 oz cotton @ the ducks......
give them a cold soak first for 30 min an see what´s  up

amen

They shrink maybe an inch in inseam over the course of several washes. This is from Mankarat and Giles.

[crankyfart]

thanks for the information mates. appreciate them.  now just waiting for them to dry.

put a piece of wood in the waist during the soak…so u have control over the soak/shrunk;-)

[Seul]

He's not asking about shrinkage in the waist, Alex, but about shrinkage of the length.

damn! i forgot about that!!!! would it help if i put a stick or hanger now while its drying to control the shrink in the waist?  the waist before soaking is perfect. any smaller means i'm screwed. 

[Seul]

You're not getting anything over 0.5" in shrinkage, even less more than probably… So just cuff for now and wear them and decide later on what to do...

[davito]

Dont worry volcano mate, just wear and enjoy, afterwards you may decide if another hem service is necessary. Dont worry about the waist too much you will get that +- half of an inch if needed if you are too worried put em on while damp 
best

all ducks have 36,5 inseam…enough for shrinkage....unless volcano is 78,74 inch tall:-)

[crankyfart]

thanks for the advice mates. now it's hung to dry. it sure looks horrible in this state now.

hang  them @ the legs(turn over)…the weight of the wet cotton stretch them itself during drying

Flatten out the pants, make sure there are no major creases whilst drying.

that's the straightest/flattest I can get them to be. hopefully when they dry up over the night, it'll look better. anyway feck it! it's just a pair of pants. my only concern is the length cos now I can't wear it with my converse kicks.

[Seul]

I had to triple cuff mine… Check my pics here... I'm having them hemmed but to 33" so I can still do a smal(ler) double cuff... Sure they're not selvedge but there's no reason why you shouldn't cuff mate!..
