      They are tight just on the waist, while the other areas are good.

        They're like 2 inches tight  🙂 And does it matter if the other dimensions are good if you can't do them up? I suspect you won't get 2" stretch in these…..

          I lucked out with mine. Bought them from someone who only worn them a couple of times and had no creases or fades, but the waist was stretched. They were overall a little too loose in the waist and legs. I threw them in the washing machine on my normal cold cycle (with a small load of other dark clothes), and then threw them into the dryer on normal heat with everything else. They fit great now all across the board.

          I also didn't want to have to deal with cuffs on cuffs on cuffs, so I cut off 4" from the length and threw the raw edge threw a serger before washing them, so now they have a raw edge that won't fray too much more.

                      Judging from the pic, it looks like it will be a big hustle/determination to make them work. I would size one up. Do the other measurements differ that much that it would be too loose?

                        I do not have the choice to send it back. I have worn it for more than a day. I have to now live with it. I will see what options I have to get a 2 cm extension on the waist.

                              Yea, those definitely just look like the sizing won't work. Just take some accurate measurements and pass them along, and pick up another pair.

                                  Don't think the car jack will do. It only takes care of the stretch that is already possible, and two inches won't happen.

                                    Took measurements of my best fitting jeans (RGT Stanton fit) and looking for my first IH jeans.
                                    W - 34
                                    Front Raise - 10.75
                                    Rear Rise - 15
                                    Thigh - 12.25
                                    Knee - 8.75
                                    Hem - 8.25

                                    Per the IH website (666-XHS), I am torn between size 33 and 34. Accounting for one inch of shrinkage, it seems like 34 is the better option… or pick 33 and hope they stretch enough after a week or two of wear?

                                        @jtbel1988 I could have possibly gotten away with a 33 in the XHS but the 34 has worked fantastically for me (777 cut, full disclosure).  While I understand powering through some discomfort to stretch them back out after a wash or soak, the marginal difference in sizes wasn't enough for me to size down.  While I like a pretty trim and tailored fit, I also want to enjoy wearing them, and if I'm dreading discomfort, personally, I'll reach for something else in my closet

                                          @Joberwocky - wearability is key. Thanks for the feedback. I cannot deal with an extremely tight fit in the thighs and would be a nightmare to drop 400 on jeans that I cannot wear.
