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.

@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

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.

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
