    Holy Jeebus, either this Rona gut is really getting huge or these 34" Benzak run a size smaller like a 33" : Can't get that top button !! Thumbs are sore. So I'm just saying f'it and wearing them around the house for now hoping I'll stretch that waist band out cause the rest of the fit is spot on and feel great.
    any advice besides just keep wearing them?
    Thanks,  Patrick

        This is so awesome !!! lol, Ironically on the way to the hardware right now, might have to ask them if they have an extra or two 2x4 blocks around

        Btw : I got them Buttoned late last night with a coat hanger small loop and some channel locks
        Then I slept in them hahaha !!! Things might work out now that they're buttoned but I took them off for breakfast, coffee etc, back on now that I'm doing so work here at the house….. next I'll scrub the tub with knee pads kneeling  😃

        I'm definitely gonna try this tho, thanks much !!

          It was corona weight that persuaded me to do it. Worked a treat, but take is slow and easy and keep your eye on the button and seams.

            maybe I'm being a bit too conservative in my stretching, don't want to blow the button etc, they're still tight but at least I can button them without tools ha ! so there's some progress
            You must stretch it so you can actually see a bit of stretch eh? I watch the button and just stop when it looks tight but maybe that's just not enough.
            Of course I'm wearing them nonstop and they're great without underwear (tmi) but the band does bite by the end of the day and I need a break !
            Cheers and thanks,
            Patrick

              You have to push it a bit. The potential issues are the side seams and the post of the fly button. When the jeans are stretched without the post bending, then start pushing it one «jack» at a time. In between jacks just check everything over and if nothing is bending or tearing, take one more.

              Another thing is to try the method from different angles.

                Sounds logical, I'll proceed as you describe

                  These N&F Weird Guy jeans are my most faded pair so far. I’m a very slow fader, they are 5 years old, numerous washes.

                  The journey is the objective.

                    Here is the N&F Elephant 11 Grandrelle super guy. They are a 32 tag, which in hindsight I probably could’ve done a 31 because the waist is pretty loose. However, with the heavyweight of these, the added room of the 32 throughout is nice. I am 5’11 and 170lbs just for reference. Figured I’d post up a picture in case someone was looking to get a pair. I personally love them and they’re very comfortable after the first few wears.

                        Yes they are! Once you cuff them they pretty much stay locked in.

                          added the 14oz organic all natural to my ‘collection’ as my honey got a new ride and was told to NOT get indigo on the seats. 🤣

                              Ten years after tentatively venturing into japanese denim, these are my best faded pair yet. Definitely still a glacial-paced fader!!
