I want to buy some pants and Express has producer pants and agent pants. However, i read online that they shrink after a few washes. Can someone who worn these pants give me their opinion and if it did shrink? I asked about Express pants and people they they are garbage in terms of quality.

I wear a 32/30 normally and people say the length gets shorter after few washes which makes me wonder if i should then get 32/32. i'm about 5'8.

I started out with Express pants, the Producer line specifically, when I first started to intern in Manhattan and they do shrink if you use the dryer, even on low heat. These pants need to be hung dry and than ironed. Quality wise though, they are pretty shoddy, and they only lasted me 6 months or so before they began to shrink.
