        Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but whatever.

        I purchased a pair of 666-XHS a few years ago, and have worn them almost everyday with my Alpine Star Super Victories https://metroracing.com/products_item.php?p=1211

        Anyways, I ordered them in a size 31 waist. Sizing chart says in reality it's a size 32, and description says it'll stretch an inch with wear.

        However, I am considering ordering another pair of jeans, and I measured the waist of my 666's last night (yes, according to the Iron Heart way), and they've stretched to 35 inches! No wonder they're too loose for me now, I thought I was getting slimmer.

        Anyways, is this normal? I have never washed nor soaked them, nor do I want to. My thighs are already getting too big for them (main reason I'm in the market for another pair of jeans). Should I take this stretching of three inches into consideration when purchasing, say, the 634-XHS?

        Also, will a lighter fabric (18oz or something) stretch more? or possibly less?

          If you bought them from us, did we actually measure the pair that you were sent?  It mat have been before we started doing that as normal part of our routine.

          Whatever, I think 3 inches is the most I have ever heard of on any of our jeans, and frankly find it incredible.

          I'd have thought 2" was about the most you'd get form any of our non-raw indigo jeans.

              I feel 2" is at the end of the range for normal wear and tear stretch…...I wouldn't want to go through the effort or discomfort, and I'm an impatient dude to wait that long for a pair of jeans to fit. I routinely buy them small and  stretch them to fit...using a clamp and hydraulic jack to routinely get 3" of stretch....and yes occasionally bad shit happens. I like the fit on smaller sizes.

                      I bought these back in 2014… Been wearing them on and off since then! 6-7 washes I believe. Not too crazy.. but terribly comfortable  🙂

                                Awesome fit @PattyCakez and I love how the 25oz denim looks at this stage of evo where the royal blue shades are predominant.

                                            What can I say, I'm a sucker for the slow non washed fade, it just looks so cool… If I don't wear gear to work it doesn't get washed....I am a real slow fader with non work wear 😉
