new linen trousers -too long should I try and shrink in the dryer?

[brimfull]

will they shrink all over??

they will lose their shape probably. what does the lable say? just take them up instead to be on the safe side.

wash at 40
do not tumble dry

they are sooo long

High risk. I'd be getting out my needle and thread.

Who am I kidding? I'd be taking them to the dry cleaners to be altered!

I used that iron on hem stuff to take up the hem on mine. I think you're meant to sew over the top, but I didn't bother. I had to redo it once over the summer (of wearing them practically every day) when it wore out from too much washing, but still easier than actual sewing

yeh you're right,will bung in the wash first though

Where did you buy them? I'm after some very long linen trousers (36 inside leg).

hobbs

Just cut and hem....

noooooooo

you will never get the creases out if you tumble-dry 'em

How long? Can you just hem them or do they need a trim first?

Step away from the tumble dryer!!

I am washing them then I'll do the hemming tape .
Don't want to cut cut may have to.
Annoyingly I want them long enough to wear with high wedges but also low enough to wear with flip flops

decisions decisions!

Yes wash then hem - they always lose a bit of length IME.

Don't tumble them though, they'll never recover!
