      Hello!

      Apologies, worked through all the pages and noticed that someone mentioned that these stretch a bit. Was hoping I could get someone to confirm. I recently purchased a used pair and they are just about 1" smaller than my true waist size. Wondering if these will stretch an inch or if I need to shrink an inch.

      Happy Holidays!

        This is what it says on the product page in the shop:

        "Sanforized, so little or no shrinkage, but will stretch up to one inch in the waist with wear"

              This would depend on what size they were and what the current waist measurement is. If they are used, they may already be stretched to the limit, or they may not have stretched at all. But yes, they do stretch. It's not unheard of to get up to 2" of stretch in the waist.

                Thanks XTCClassic!

                They are tagged as a waist size 30. They measure at 29 (14.5") which sounds like they may be right at the shipped size. I wear 31 or 32 in my other IHs and there is some room in the waist. I probably need a half inch to inch stretch, which sounds possible.

                Take care,

                              These new measurements are making me think irresponsible thoughts.

                              Me too.  I had 32s before and the thigh never stretched enough for practical use so I sold them.  Just ordered the 34 but I'm having them hemmed this time around.

                                          Small question - i was wondering if these have a similar silhouette compared to the 666s… is there much difference, except in the top section? ie, are the BB wider in the tighs? i checked measurements but wanted to get some first hand opinions. looking for a pair that is slightly wider than my 666s for a more loosey-goosey look sometimes. i tried  a 634 but the hem is way to wide for my taste. i wear a 32 in the 666s and think i'd need a 33 in the bb... thanks!
