I may be wearing sweatpants (and anything with a drawstring) wrong all of these years. I’ve always pulled the string taught at the top of my hip bones and tied the strings. Always thought of it as a natural ledge and a great place for the string to set. Never tight enough that it digs in uncomfortably, but tight enough that it doesn’t slide down…
Just my $.02

Thanks for the comments. I tried tying them at the waist, and although it helps some, I think @sabergirl might be onto something regarding the rise, as I don’t seem to be the only one with this fit issue.
I decided to order the last pair of XL in olive this morning, just to compare. By the looks of it there’s about 1.2” more in the XL olive rear rise as compared to the Large black, and am hoping this does the trick. I figure if I have to tie them at the waist I might as well see if a size up improves things (for me).
I’ll post here again once I receive them.
Thanks everyone

@Brandrea I’m curious to hear the results. For me it was XL or XXL, which the difference is only .4” in the rear.

@Danimal506 the measurements really varied greatly between the olive and the black. We’ll see what I get and I’ll circle back here when they arrive.

These finally just arrived. Unsure if I should have sized up to an XL or not. My typical size in the 888 is either a 35 or 36. My best fitting pair is my 888 XHS which are size 35. These fit pretty well, trim but comfortable throughout the legs, which is how I like my sweats, like a modern trim jogger, not sloppy and baggy. They are a little tight in the the crotch and butt area, which if I compare measurements between the L and XL, the rise seems to be the only real difference between the two, so maybe that would have helped. I have worn them around the house now for a little while and they have loosened up considerably so maybe they were the right call and I will just accept that they fit a little tight after washing. The fabric is amazing though and they immediately feel more substantial and cozy then my Nike sweat pants.
What's everyone's washing routine with this, are you washing them after every wear?

@Johnnyutah247 I've washed them once so far after getting some tiger balm on them. Cold water, delicate cycle with low spin and hang dry. They haven't shrunk at all using this method although I think if they were washed after every wear they would start to come in a bit.

@Alex said in IHSW-70-BLK - 14oz Ultra Heavyweight Loopwheel Cotton Sweat Pants - Black:
I have got shrinkage in all my hoodies using a tumble drier, though - for all the driers out there (read Americans)
As have I, but not so much that they didn't fit properly afterwards. They all actually ended up fitting slightly better than before. Plus, the stretch back out where they need to.

Thank you to the gentleman and his wife that I met on eBay and came and delivered these to me this evening! (Same day delivery!)
Comparing with my zip up hoodie, it appears I’ve faded this a lot…
