501 1947 sizing recommendations

Hi

Looking to buy a pair of 501 1947's. pretty simple I figured, buy a size up. However the 34 waist actually measures 32 so I assume will shrink to 30 yet the 36 measures 35.3. What I'm confused about is my own waist size lol. I have jeans that range from 30 tagged size to 34 but all measure around the 33 mark, stretched, shrunk who knows now. Been wearing my Silas classics and Supreme slim jeans which are tagged 30 and 32 but now measure 33, never measured either of them when I got em so dunno if they stretched or not.

Bottom line I think I'll need 32/33 end result as long as they dont stretch too much. Out of anyones experience should I go for the 34 which is actually 32 and hope they stretch like a mofo or go for the 36 which is 35.3. Do lvc shrink the full 2 inches or not? Ive heard sometimes only 1 inch. As the jean is a slimmer style than I would usually wear I figure going a little bigger wouldnt be so drastic.

Any advice would be awesome, cheers guys

i usually wear a 32x30, so i bought a size 34x34. the waist shrank down pretty good, but not all the way down to a 32. lengthwise, it shrank a lot, but again, not all the way down to a 30.. i have some stackage going on, so im guessing it went from a 34 length to a 32ish length. and for the waist, maybe 34 down to a 32.5ish. sorry for the fuzzy numbers, im too lazy to find a measuring tape
