I just recently bought a pair of Nudie RRGC in a 34 length...I need them at a 32 length. Normally you would wash/dry/shrink before getting them hemmed, correct? But of course these are dry...so I'm not gonna be washing them for a long time.

So, if i get them hemmed to a 32 then after a wash will i be stuck with an unwearable short ass length? What should I tell the tailor?

leave them alone. cuff or let them ride. or you could get them hemmed a bit long and then rehemmed after you soak them. i know they are sanforized so the shrinkage will be minimal but you might still lose an inch in length. if you do get them hemmed, make sure you keep the extra fabric just in case.

i say leave them until post wash/soak to be safe.

If you're worried about it being too short after a wash, you can stretch out the legs while they are still wet, after washing.
