Since 501® Button-Flys are "shrink-to-fit" they need to be purchased at a larger size than actual inches for the waist and inseam. They will shrink approximately 10%, but instead of having to pull out a calculator and figure it out there is a post on the Fashion .
Applicable to Jeans made with Unwashed Unfinished Denim. The Shrinkage Rate might vary slightly between garments, especially with Vintage and Vintage Reproduction garments. Any alterations (including leg lenght alterations) are not recommended Until Shrinkage Is Complete.
(just a guide - ask the seller for more info)

It is recommended that one soaks their new jeans in hot water for about 20 minutes. Then let dry naturally. Personally I like to put them in the dryer for a better shrinkage results
