Regarding the recent restock of of the IH-717 chinos.
The information recorded on the product page at the time of restock stated that these pants were not expected to shrink with washing. We have since carried out some tests in the office which prove that this is untrue, the pants do reveal some shrinkage with a gentle wash (40 celsius with low spin).
As such you can expect approximately 0.5" shrinkage in the waist, and approximately 1" shrinkage in the inseam. Other dimensions are expected to shrink in proportion to this. Any area put under tension, will have a tendency to stretch back out to approximately pre soak sizing. Those that are not (inseam), will not.
As always, if you have any questions regarding this information or if you need any assistance with sizing please do reach out to Shop@Ironheart.co.uk.
On behalf of the Iron Heart team - Apologies for the inconvenience caused.

To add some real life long time results to what @Ross just posted, totally non-scientific:
As per my post above from 2024, my tag size 38 came with an actual waist of 39.2. Immediately got that down with a delicate wash to 38.5
Today, after many washes, most of them on a regular program, and after a couple of wears since the last wash, I measured mine at just a hair over 38 in the waist.
So the shrinkage is surely there, and it seems to be fairly permanent. -
