@Matt:

I’m sure you’d like to think you’ll only spend crazy money like this once but let’s be real with ourselves. 

Extremely belated response but this made me audibly smirk, very relatable…

I was going to wait til this fall to start wearing these, but I was itching to start working on a new pair and figured what’s the point of them just sitting on the shelf.

I picked these up in basically new/unwashed condition, but second hand. I needed to get them hemmed, and figured while they were at Williamsburg garment have them taper the leg since I prefer a slight taper. Also wanted to try this service out since I hadn’t done taper service before. I requested they set the knee at 11” (instead of 13”) since that’s where the back of my knee is (I’m 5’ 8”). I asked for the taper to go from the existing width of 9.5” to 8” at the hem, and 30” inseam. The stock hem was 9”. They nailed the measurements.

I wanted to give these a hot soak before I started wearing them. I had worn these a couple times so far for short periods, so wanted to get them a couple more wears before the soak. I wore them around the house, then wore them for a couple hours while mowing. I figured hopping on and off the zero turn would exercise them a bit before the soak:

Just before soaking, took measurements and pictures. You can see the inseam alteration below.

A closeup for good measure:

Then in the kids tub they went at about 100F/40C for an hour, with some denim wash and hand agitation. Gave them a cold rinse then hung up to dry outside. When they were nearly dry, I put them on and put them through some paces. I get scared they will shrink too much so I try to stretch them right back out.

After a day of wear, the hot wash didn’t cause much shrinkage. In total it was a quarter inch on the hem and inseam, and that was it. I expect I’ll get more shrinkage over time. Measurements and fit pics:

Original / altered / hot soak
Waist 17.5” / x / 17.5”
Front rise: 11” / x / 10.75”
Rear rise: 15.5” / x / 15.5”
Thigh: 12.25” / x / 12.25
Knee: 9.25” / 9.25” / 9.25”
Knee @ 11”: 9.5” / 9.5” / 9.5
Hem: 9” / 8” / 7.75”
Inseam: 35” / 30” / 29.75”
