Here's a bit of a noob question:
When hot washed/ soaked, the rise will shrink a bit...but is this an area that will also stretch back out with wear? I pay so much attention to the other measurements, but this is one I'm not as sure about.

Depends upon how well hung you are I guess......

Sanforized, but unwashed - expect approximately one inch shrinkage in the waist and inseam
Other dimensions will shrink proportionately to the waist
The waist will stretch out approximately one inch with wear
All other dimensions under pressure will have a tendency to stretch back to pre-soak/wash size

I do find that the rear rise stretches for me, because of my ASSets. Front rise not so much.

I can see why @Giles wasnt able to field this one as he has zero personal experience.

Haha. Love this convo!!
Well, I ask because I’m looking at a pair of grail to me XHSbb in 555 that should have started at 16.2 in the rear rise but now are at 15 after a soak. Love me a higher rise and wondering if they’ll make their way back to that 16 inches with wear.

I think an inch of rise stretch is unlikely. There’s not as much strain on that axis as the waist, and it’s a felled seam. You could invent some sort of hack like the car jack waist stretching system seen elsewhere on the forum, but rise isn’t a circle so some engineering chops would be necessary.
