                        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.

                                    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.

                                      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!!:)

                                          @jimcord not really, I dont have much I can lose. I feel like over time all my jeans kinda slim up a bit. I usually wear a new pair damp when I first get them, then after 50-100 wears I start washing and only wear them dry. So they just shrink a bit and don’t stretch back out fully
