I tried on some Ralph Lauren jeans today -- I'm not sure of the style name, but I think they were made in USA and were $115 retail. The jeans come in different inseam lengths. I tried on the 32 x 32, and the waist was cut very big. For them to fit, I would have to wear the jeans really low on my hips -- basically, I'd have to sag them.
The 31 waist fit perfectly everywhere -- which is rare for me to find. However, it only comes in 31x30, apparently. The 30" inseam was wearable for me, but it had very little break when I was wearing a leather blucher with a 1.25" heel. With trainers, the length would probably be perfect. Even with the blucher, I didn't mind the length, but it's definitely a touch shorter than I usually wear.
Does anyone have experience with RL jeans? Could I shrink the hell out of the 32 waist so that it fits right? Or should I just go with the 31 and hang dry them? If I hang dry the jeans, will the inseam shrink?
I'm pretty dead set on buying the jeans, since they were exactly what I was look for (dark wash, slim fit with a slight bootcut -- 18.5" opening -- and slightly longer rise than the Earnest Sewn Hutch, which has slightly too short a rise for me).
