Plan on some slight shrinkage from the first washing.  After that, they didn't shrink any more.

My son is 5'11" and after shrinking, these were still long enough.

I bought him a pair of these a year ago at Christmas.  I see him in them all the time- at a glance they honestly look like old work jeans.

Since he was still wearing these after a year, I bought him a new pair for this year!

They launder well-- understand my son is the most harsh launderer imaginable- overstuffed washer and very hot dryer.  After the first shrinkage, these have remained stable and good looking even under those laundering conditions!  I cannot tell by sight which pair he is wearing-- the year-old ones or the brand-new ones!
