A big mistake on my part when I bought these jeans, just before Christmas. I went dyslexic and got size 34" waist- 36" Length. I am 36" waist, 34" length. Retail on these was $79.00 and I paid $55.99 on sale. These jeans have been washed the first time. Neve worn, other than putting them on and realizing they were too tight to button , and strangely long.
$45.00 will get you these jeans.
I will deliver with a reasonable distance from Portland if need be..

I could put a couple pictures if you need them, but they look just like they should. A beautiful dark blue, just like they've always been.

Isn't there a saying about guys whose waist measurement is bigger than their length measurement?

How do they shrink to fit? Is that like electrical heat shrink tubing?

Shrink to fits are tough. They tell you to buy 3 to 4" longer than normal length and 2 to 3" longer in width.

Oh young man. In old days they didn't pre-shrink jeans. Being made of cotton they had to make them larger than needed to account for the shrinkage. You would take these obviously larger jeans and wash them in hot water and dry them hot to get them to finished size.

Yeah, well, the older you get the shorter you get. Guess where that height goes?

I'm not that young. I was wearing them in the 80s. Just giving you a hard time. All my pants have mag holders these days.
