Earnest sewn' shrinkage factor?

[pirsig]

Hi all,

GOt myself a pair of hutch earnest sewn's in the b-12 wash. the inseam is a little long and I was wondering if they will shrink after a wash? I'd like to know before I get them altered in length?

Thanks in advance, this is a wonderful forum.

Ah!! A fellow Earnest owner! I also own a B-12. It didn't shrink much at all when I washed mine (waist or inseam).

If you're in NYC, you've got to check out the Earnest Sewn store at Washington and Gansevoort in the Meat Packing district.....it's a denim mecca!!

pirsig, i say wash your jeans first to be safe. prob shrink only 1/4 of an inch, but then when they're altered they'll stay where you want them
