So I washed them slightly hotter (50° C instead of the usual 40°C) and they shrunk quite a bit both in leght as in waist. Both are perfect now -> the size ordered. The cuff is out of question now. Maybe a single roll by hand when I go dancing so my dance partners don't step on it.

Take home message: Don't hem cotton trousers before the first 1-3 washes!

Did you wash them at 50 degrees deliberately to shrink them?

[Unkraut]

Yes. They were too long and (slightly LOL) too loose. From now on I'll wash them at 40° like all the other stuff.

I would like to see fit pictures from those of you who have received them.

"Toulon and Toulouse" they used to call it in Esquire. I think they were referring to slacks.

1925 joke:

Why are Oxford Bags like two French cities?

They are Toulon & Toulouse.

[Nik]

Right, that's how it went. Apparently it was still funny in 1934 or so when they mentioned it in Esquire.

Big B chinos have a nice wide leg.

That big, round toe on the specs looks great with that trouser-width at the ankle. Does the fabric used in the chino version shrink up like the denim?

I really hate that F***ing ivy!

Wow, nice Pete!

I told ya the 8 inches of extra denim would bunch up into a nice cuff.
