If you get tin pants remember they shrink like crazy when they first get wet. Waist needs to be a size larger and don't stag until after they shrink. I've seen more than one guy look like he was wearing little kids pants after a big rain.
I planned on some 36s, should have plenty of room for the chips to flow.

Got some of the new made in the USA Wild Ass coming from Baileys this week. Interested to see how much they shrink to fit. Hope they are as good as the old, before outsourcing. I hate crotch blow outs in the middle of the day. I could blame it on, well you know, but these days it's crappy workmanship.

Let us know how they do.
A crotch gusset is a good thing, prevents ouch when crouched and prevents crotch blowouts.

New USA made Wild Ass: Got'um. Washed a few times to shrink'um. Heavy fabric (feels like the old ones or the old Levis 501), lots of rivets, good wedge sized rear pockets. Now to the important part, the crotch. Looks sturdy, nicely stitched, heavy duty doubled over and double stitched, instead of just joined. Buttons are plain w/o the old logo. Generous leg room. Crotch to waist height is perfect. Overall, gets a thumbs up. Best part Made in the good old USA 
and only 27.99 from Baileys.

That's good ta hear!
How much did the things shrink after the first couple trips through the wash?
I guess I'm tryin' to figure out how to figure final size. Would it be order one or two sizes larger than actual measurement?
Stay safe!

Feels and looks like they did shrink one full size in the waist. Length didn't shrink much if at all.

Read the info real carefully when they arrive. They will and do shrink.

Yeah, these are getting returned. Definitely a way different cut than the ones that were made in Canada. These things swallow me up like overalls!
