Meh, some say you can, but IME not really, nothing more than a touch anyways, and anymore than that just shrinks back.

Assuming, they shrink more than you'd like but not terribly, I'd do what sho says (cuff em), and, I'll add, wear them with a pair of ankle boots. It's looks really good and you wont even care... well, I wouldn't.

Sellability depends on what you hemmed them to - so what did you hem them to?

IMO you should sell them, since I gather they are still new minus getting them hemmed. I would list them for sale and I'm sure you can find someone who these would work for.

Your going to take a little bit of a loss, but save yourself a headache in the future.

Like others have said, you will loose 2.5- 3 inches after a soak/ wash etc, so I would cut your loss now and just repurchase and not make the same mistake twice.

If the waist is 28-29 and the inseam after shrinkage is 31-33, I might be interested.

I call troll.

Who the **** buys a pair of $275 jeans, let alone from a niche store like SE, let alone a brand that is only sold in one store and has only been around for... a year, and DOESN'T BOTHER TO READ OR UNDERSTAND THE DESCRIPTION???

Kiya, I don't know what kind of voodoo dealing with the Devil bullshit you're running up in the boom-boom room at SELA but goddamn, YOU ARE REELING THEM IN, SIR. My hat's off to you. Ice to an Eskimo, this is how it's DONE.
