Those look really good on you and thats bad because they'll shrink at least 3 inches in length.Originally Posted by ruben
You can always pull on them when they're wet to get the inseam to go back to approximately what it was (a bit shorter, but not 3")

here's what I'd do: hotsoak them for about 20 minutes, and when you take them out, wring them out as best you can, then step on the bottoms of the pants legs and pull up as hard as you can. when you're done, do it again. and again. and again. I made the mistake of buying stf's that were too short once-its a pain.
but don't worry, you -won't- lose 3" if you don't dry them. MAYBE 2, but it will certainly be enough to be annoying.

I posted advice in the ask a question thread to your problem as you asked it there as well. I think it will helpOriginally Posted by chronoaug
i saw that, thanks. i tried to move the convo to that thread, but looks like it stuck here. 'sall good.
i may attempt to return them. i bought them at sears and i think they will take back just about anything. i only wore them once, so it might work.
in that case, i will bump up the inseam to 32". I am roughly a 31"/30". So Im guessing a 32"/32" will stf me fine.
if that fails, i will soak and stretch and pray for the best
