Can anyone attest to how much these will stretch out. I'm trying to figure out my sizing for a new work pant for the upcoming sugaring season starting in the spring.

i wear a 36, in 634s and 634sb's and raws. they are usually tight to begin with in the thigh and waist but stretch out after a bit. I'm just not familiar with this material.

thanks

Note: i bet I'm the only one in IH who makes maple syrup and a lot of it ~800gallons!

Not a lot of stretch with the duck. Imd recommend sizing up one for a nice work pant fit.

Z is on the money, Def don't size down. I sized up and am happy I did.

Duck is canvas.  Canvas is a 1/1 weave.  1/1 weaves by their nature do not stretch much, that is why canvas is used for sails.  Denim is a twill weave and is thus inclined to stretch and change shape…More here:

Is the duck rope died ? For contrasting fades!
There is a pair of Roys on eBay that says they're indigo rope died ducks.

Nope

Just got my black 801s and love them! Still super stiff, so legs look a little bulky, but great fit!

Sometimes you need double knees when sitting behind a computer…

Yeah mine are also a little bulky. Doing some squats helped on mine but living mostly on a hanger they flatten out again all too quickly. They are great pants though but just don't get as much use as my jeans.

Some more 801 love…

Having lost some weight over the last year, I'm finding that my loggers are feeling a bit more roomy than I'd like - would a hot soak or hot wash shrink these at all? I've only washed them a few times and on a cool (30 degrees C) cycle.

[Giles]

May do, give it a go super hot and inside out.  Don't spin, the duck is prone to streaking if spun/tumbled right side out…

Thanks G, will try, if not I can see a pair of 666D's might be a suitable alternative
