Just store bought my first pair of Iron Heart denim!! Really happy with the product, however I jumped the gun on the sizing!!

I was debating whether to go for 36W or 34W whilst purchasing. As they were un-sanforized and slim fit I opted for the 36W, anticipating they would shrink to a 35W after pre-soak (2hrs approx 60 degree water temp). The 34W was really tight, and I doubt I would have been able to do them up after the initial soak.

The denim didn't shrink as much as I anticipated, and hence they are a little loose around the waist (approx 1 inch). I was considering tumble drying, alternatively I will wear them a little loose with belt. Any suggestions? A little concerned on the stretching, would be keen to hear from other owners on their thoughts?

Wishing I had read this thread (along with the sizing threads) prior to purchase …. however good research for my next pair. I think the 666 cut might suit my shape better (95kg, 186cm).
