          A car scissor jack also works a treat on the Waist band.

          In fact, that's the best use for them…Dangerous under a car!!

            Gotta say thanks for the car jack tip… I dampened the waistband and I used my car scissor jack to gently stretch out my new 555 25oz’ers and it’s made fastening them that much easier😊

            Still need to work on the fly buttons but they will get better with wear I’m sure🥵

              Use a needle nose pliers to stretch the button holes.

                  ok… buoyed by my success on the 25's I thought I'd give the black 21's  a (gentle)  :o
                  stretch in the waist to ease them out - F**k!!

                  just asked the crew if the button can be replaced??

                        Oops… while I’m sorry for the damage to your jeans it does nicely illustrate the potential dangers of using this method.

                              This stuff works great for soaking your smelly jeans. Use a fourth as much as they say on the label for like 2 gallons of water.

                                  @kkibbey23 you can use this lysol stuff and soak them or a gentle hand wash instead of a machine wash, or just use some regular detergent. You don't have to turn your jeans inside out for just a soak or a hand wash.

                                        I got a new washer I wanted to show you. This one is big enough to lay the jeans out flat. They are $25 at Walmart. And you can store your other jeans in it when it's not being used as a vessel. Pretty much a shallow coffin for a little person. Even has wheels and I put it under my bed to store it.

                                        I forgot to share this last week. But I couldn't find my fels naptha so I used this antique bar of ivory soap that's probably from the 70' or 80's and like three drops of Dawn to wash my lefties.

                                          Breathing a bit of life back to this thread, I know that there are other hacks with using pliers, screwdrivers, and even wine stoppers to open up stubborn button holes, especially after soaking things like xhs or uhr and also for more delicate things like leather jackets.

                                          Rather than any of those, a while ago I made up a small tool from a piece of 3/8" wooden dowel pin that was laying around from another project. I kept it long enough to be able to have a firm grip on the pin on both sides of the button hole to give it a firm tug in all directions. The corners were all chamfered up to minimize any damage.

                                          This lives permanently in a dresser drawer that also has a sewing kit so it's easy to find. Hopefully this is helpful to someone.

                                          Here's an example of how it would be used

                                            Second up is something I've mentioned somewhere else, but for hanging wet jeans to dry, I made these bent hooks from leftover solid core 12ga household wiring leftover from another project, which oddly was also not electrical in nature. The big end fits over a shower curtain rod, the little through a belt loop, and a little offset to make them easier to don and doff. They kinda look like ear lobes and are more than sturdy enough to support XHS soaking wet.
