501 STF Sizing?

Can anyone advise how much they will actually shrink? I typically wear a 33x30 (32 tends to be too small, 34 too big), but my true waist measurement is 35. Following the advice to go up 1" waist, 2" length, I got 34x32. Pre-wash, they're loose in the waist (I can tack my first 3 fingers against my hip) and have to cuff like 4" to break where I'd like them. No idea if they'll shrink enough or if I should exchange for a 33 waist.

from the anecdotal evidence i've heard, the waist doesn't shrink that much/stretches back out with wear while the inseam shrinks 2-3" and stays that length 33x32 might be the call; the 34x32 might work out if you're shrinking on really high heat or wearing them in a tub but ymmv

Hmmmm, meanwhile someone on Reddit said it was typical and theirs shrank to size. Now I don't know what to do, lol
