Mechanical waistband stretching anyone?

[neph93]

@thomas01:

Did you make them wet before stretching?

I did not. If you set it up right you can have focus on the button post to make sure it takes the strain OK.

[neph93]

@Kasi:

Also that the right way to stretch the rather than side way, less chance ripping the button

I actually turned the jeans around and tested all directions. The problem with using the jack with the jeans sideways is the strain it places on the side seams. The best way was with the jeans in the opposite position to the picture so the button is in top. Complete control then.

Neph93
your right.

Gonna try it…

@neph93

It worked I did your method

Got it bigger on waist line, didn’t pop the button.

If I ever meet up with you box Asian sweets on me.

I’ll play

The “jaws of life.” Perhaps in this case “jawns of life?”
337,230 pounds (1,500 kn) of spreading force which means it is rated to stretch up to 25oz denim.

Or kill the operator when that tack buttons flies off…...

[Bfd70]

Safety 3rd I always say.

[Kasi]

More like overdose then kill it… plus it sideways no good more chance ripping the button
Like @neph93 was saying did the same, is bang on put my hand on the top to play safe.. work like a charm.

I got 1 inches bigger in the waste line. When brought the size was 32.4, they are now 34.

[Bfd70]

I promise it was just for a laugh.

[Kasi]

Like G said kill the operator 

That’s the best laugh

I came across this thing here:

Worked! Almost 2cm extra

I swear my waist hasn’t grown, but my 21oz jeans are getting a little snug. Before trying some of the methods above and risking a button pop, I’m trying a waistband soak and wearing them damp while I cut out some stumps in the yard. I do feel like I’m still risking a button, but anything to keep rock in the 21s.
Something great about a button fly tho, is i could always just leave the top undone and cover with my belt I guess.

[WhiskeySandwich]

So my wet-waist-and-wear method got me 1/2” more. I’ll take it, considering they already stretched like 1.5-2 inches from new, after 150+ wears.

I guess losing weight was not one of the available options?:). Cleaver way to stretch jeans!!:)
