              New belt obtained.
              Could have gone with a 34 or 35 instead of a 36. Using second tightest hole and it is pretty tight. I can buckle the last hole wearing my 666s but then it hurts. Alot.
              I can only hope that it will not stretch to much.
              Self edge only had them in 32 and 36. Found out that rakuten got them in all sizes today.

              Nevertheless I am very happy with the belt.
              Going to be fun seeing it age and evolve.

                Those single-layer belts are unfortunately more subject to stretching than a belt of two layers with their grains reversed. It's a beaut, hope she serves you well!

                  I have the same belt in black. It has stretched a little over the years, but nothing too significant. Love that natural color.

                            Sorry, I missed this earlier. Worn frequently since August '13, washed once, 3 soaks.

                              Just found my post from when I soaked and I did lose quite a bit in the thigh but it let back out. I think the weft slub pushed more shrinkage. That was a 15 minute hot soak so I'd go cold.

                              Think it, be it.

                                What Mclain said. They shrink a lot, but they also stretch a lot.

                                  Mainly worried about the legs and legs arent known to stretch real easy or alot. Oh well, roll the dice i guess

                                    My advice would be if you are trying to decide between two sizes, get the larger size. The waist stretches no problem, the thighs will stretch a decent amount too but it takes some work. Check out the Superfuture thread, I posted my experiences there (I'm everyinchofgod on SuFu).

                                      I think Pillow's problem is that he's at the largest size they make–SG is not exactly a gaijin-conscious brand.

                                      @pillowPANTS The fabric is pretty stretchy, if you roll the dice I hope it works out for you, good luck.

                                          What sucks about that is that I'm entering IH-634SII, so they won't get much wear. I think they'll become my "sneaker jeans" 🙂

                                            The texture on these 5105 is so cool. I wish I could capture it better.
