I recently ordered some selvedge jeans from nudie and worries they’ll be too big rather than returning then I was thinking of getting them tailored. My question is should I get them tailored with shrinking in mind or should I wash them and then get them tailored?

I thinking about buying my first pair of selvedge jeans but I’m not sure about the sizing. I’m a 29W in most jeans and pants but i understand selvedge can be different. I also heard they will shrink a bit after the first wash and I like the waist of the pants to fit with minimal room. Should I size down to a 28W or should I stick to a 29W?
