I wanted to wait until after I had worn these, then washed them and put them through the dryer. The pants fit perfectly, 34s were always too tight and 36s always too big. The weight of these jeans is perfect, not too heavy and not too light like khaki pants. I could not believe it when I found these on Amazon. After washing them and drying them in the dryer they did not seem to shrink at all. I am planning to purchase another pair of these. I wish Wrangler would make another even lighter colored jean with the same weight and features of these jeans.
