Shrinking-

After my DSB 1942 in 33 were too tight in 33, I got them in 36.
After a hot soak and now two cold washes they fit quite well everywhere except for the waist, where they are too wide with still 94cm or so instead of my normal ca. 90cm.

Would you rather wash at 40, 50 or 60C to shrink them more?
I normally never use the drier but might do so in this case.
Any experiences/suggestions?

I have a DSB x Hinoya pair in a size 36 that is a bit too big in the waist as well. I normally do a machine wash/dry and the  pair went from about 95 cm to 91 cm in the waist, but it does stretch rather easily. I'm used to Warehouse pairs continuously shrinking over time, so I hope these continue to shrink. I'll probably wash this pair tomorrow afternoon, I can provide before and after measurements once dried.

@indigoeagle Hey, after a machine wash/dry, I got the following shrinkage:

           Pre-Wash/Post-Wash

Waist: 38"/35.75"

Thigh: 13.75"/13.5"

Inseam: 32"/30.5"

Leg Opening: 9.25"/8.75"

Pretty glad that the waist and inseam shrunk the way they did, they were feeling way too big on me. The rest of the leg has a nicer silhouette now as well.

Quite a bit. Good to hear that. Thanks

Especially in the waist.
And since that is too wide for me now, I don't think, that it will stretch back once it's shrunk.

I got these off Mercari brand new for a good deal.  I just picked the arcs and gave them a wash - I'm excited to start wearing them!

Really tempted by these Hinoya exclusive 1941 DSB model despite owning the CSF 1941 model already. I need another pair of bucklebacks like l need a hole in the head. Luckily l'm a bit skint atm and when l do finally get round to having a bit of disposable income, they will probably be sold out in my size 😁
