      The main shrink will be in the waist, the waist will stretch an inch with wear, so if you can squeeze into a, for example, 34.5'' waist to start with after a soak it will stretch to perfect with a few wears

        How much shrink/stretch will one experience in the thigh? The most important requirement for me is a 13,7 inch thigh. Maybe the safest thing for me is to ask for the sized 36 pair with the smallest waist and largest thighs.

        Seize the day and don't you cry.

          Tag 36

          This was our shrink test. Please note though that this was machine washed not soaked and spun to try and force the max likely shrinkage out. Spinning is not recommended and your shrinkage will likely be a little less than thus

                      It seems I will need a large tag 36 based on these measurements then

                        Yes exactly. Although it may take longer than other denim you have from us as it is very heavy duty

                          Pre shrink measurements came out smaller than originally  expected .

                            FYI these are crazy consistent. The two pairs of each Matt and I measured barely had any differences

                              So I should expect a 12.7 thigh on 32 after shrink? Think I can live with that

                                Only if you wash at 40 and spin at 400- which we would not recommend, I think you should have more room at the thigh than 12.7 after a soak if you follow the usual UHR care guidelines

                                  @alex ,
                                  The measurement threw off my original size of 38.
                                  If I wanted waist of 39 after all the shrinkage .
                                  Do I go with 40 or 38?

                                            All.  I suggest you wait to ask questions until after you have received your individual emails from Alex….If, after that,  you still need to ask questions, either do it here or by replying to the email then.  The more questions you ask now will just delay our ability to email you....
