The 34 fits me perfectly pre-wash... but any tighter and they'd be too tight for sure, so I'm scared to wash them. For my next chino purchase, would it work if I go up to a 36 and just hot wash the hell out of them?

Sure, that's fine - the standard 38S would be 1 inch shorter in both the body and the sleeve. It's also possible for us to just shorten the body while leaving the sleeves the regular length. Or vice-versa. .

I started out with size 32 (have 4 pairs), which is fairly snug for me pre-wash, but not uncomfortable, and did not notice shrinkage in the waist after cold washing and hang drying. I've since switched to size 33 but still wear all my size 32's regularly. Some of them definitely shrunk in length though, so if you are going to hem them, be sure to wash them first.

By the way, you can let out the rivet chinos in the waist if they do shrink too much for comfort, so if they fit well everywhere else, I'd say stick with size 34.

I just discover Epaulet recently and am ready to order my first pair!!

Yeah, things tend to get out of hand pretty quick with Epaulet's stuff. I didn't think I had that many pairs, but when I counted them, that's how many I've got...

iirc, Weller, Caine and Daltrey are all the same cut/pattern, just different details (Caine=ticket pocket 3/8 lining, Daltrey=elbow patches, etc). Not sure on the 40R to Weller/Caine/Daltrey translation, but if you're a Large in the Shirts, and 40R in other stuff, you're probably a 40R in Weller/Caine/Daltrey. You can always order one and try it out; SF members get 14 day returns.
