carhartt newel pant maitiland shrinkage?

Ive recenly bought a pair of these pants eu size 31, their length is okay now, but I'm worried about it shrinking too much when i wash & dry it the first couple of times, has anyone got experience in how much they shrink length wise?

These are 100% cotton, but prewashed, so likely most of the shrinkage is done. They still could shrink some, and you're bound to lose a little bit of length as the denim creases at movement points. Weird these don't have an inseam option or measurements on site at all. Sizing up will increase the waist size but can't tell if the inseam also goes up as well. I'd advise against drying your denim in general btw

The inseam does not go up, tho rise does. There is a size chart (on the american site - https://us.carhartt-wip.com/products/newel-pant-black-one-wash-895 ) My experience is that they shrink pretty minimally, nothing like unwashed denim. Maybe .25 in length? But I never machine dry my jeans.
