      @Appfaff:

      @flavour79 - Here is the stretch. I have worn these probably 10-15 times, and only a few times for more than a few hours. To say that have stretched is an understatement, especially since I wear a belt rather snugly with the wait when I wear them:

      633s-18 Size 38
      New -> Current Measures After Stretch
      Waist: 36.8/37 -> 39
      Front Rise: 12 -> 12.25
      Back Rise: 16.25 -> 17
      Thigh: 13.75 -> 14.25

      @Giles is that the tendency of this denim??

          Mine have definitely not stretched that much in the waist. I’ll check them tonight too.

                Mine have not stretched nearly that much either.  That is a crazy amount of stretch.

                  I thought so too, but they were tight when I got them, and they are quite baggy now.

                    634… I have the og measurements for this pair in an email from IHUK so I know the starting point. I'll do it before I turn in.

                    The received wisdom regarding waist stretch is that you get what you need. That is to say if they're tight to begin with you'll get more until it's comfortable. Mine fit just right to start with and I've lost a few kg since then. We'll see...

                      Agreed.  I try to make this point to people when they are asking "how much stretch will I get?".  It depends on the fit when they are out of the bag.  If you have a 34" waist and you start with a pair that has a measured 32.5" waist you will get more stretch than a pair that starts at 34" or 33.5".

                          Sure thing @Jordonf9

                          @manufc10 and @neph93 are 100% correct on this. Mine were quite snug to begin with. Although a 13.75 thigh is not "tight" on me (my 666 are 13" and are tight lol) the 633 have been my "moving around alot" jeans, so I'm not surprised. I also have worn the jeans with a shirt tucked in quite a bit, so that would add to the waist stretch. What started off as a tight buttoning at first, I can put them on and take them off without unbuttoning now. The stretch in the back rise was what surprised me the most of anything.

                                I believe his pair is the 633 cut.

                                  Mine are 633, @neph93 has the 634.

                                  I didn’t think it was worth creating a whole new thread for the 633s-18 since the only think that’s different is the bottom hem…

                                        Had them a while but they are out of rotation as I've been in a leg brace since December. They've had about 30 days of normal to light wear on them. Like I said though, they fit fine when I got them, just a little tight, and I've lost a bit of weight since then, so they've had no reason to stretch much, other than my movement putting pressure on them. I also always wear a belt with jeans unless they are too tight. Rumour has it that this can retard stretch too.
