Heck yeah Rox! I will carry this MB torch as far as I can run with it. I have been doing some home improvement projects, such as installing flooring, painting and gardening that contribute to the fades. I'm feeling pretty good about them so far.

@Oaktavia Crazy how quickly you've broken those in and how rad they're looking already!

[sabergirl]

Hell yeah @Oaktavia those look great! Maybe I should lose ten pounds so I can do these justice

[Oaktavia]

@sabergirl I got a phone call from your pair, they said you're just right the way you are.

They are fascinating jeans. Like velvet.

Haha thanks, jeans and @Oaktavia . I don’t mind my weight, just wish I would’ve sized up in the MB

[Oaktavia]

@sabergirl maybe the ol' trusty pants stretcher will do you a favor.

[sabergirl]

Have you ever used that thing on the thigh, @Oaktavia ? This is my problem-area. Waist is never an issue.

Hmm...I bet it would work with some fanegeling

[Oaktavia]

@sabergirl I'm looking around the house for the pants stretcher to try it out on thighs. Can't seem to find it...I'll keep looking

[goosehd]

@Oaktavia I've been thinking about this and I don't know if a stretcher used on the thighs is a good idea. When you use the stretcher on the waist the fabric is one strip that is continuous around the waist of the pant and the weak point would be where it buttons.

The stretcher on the thighs would be exerting force on two sewn seams and may put pressure where it's not meant to be put. I have faith in the skill and craftsmanship of the jeans, but I do worry that the pant isn't designed for that kind of strain in that area.

Hopefully it makes sense.

@Oaktavia

Quite a while ago I remember someone here dealing with a tight thigh fit & washing/drying their denim. You know.. everything may be a little loose but the thighs could be a problem with shrink.

Anyhow - their solution was inflating a couple of those rubber balls you used to have on the playground back in grade school. The idea was to put them in the thighs after a wash/still wet & pumping them up.

[Oaktavia]

@goosehd that seems to make sense. I couldn't find the stretcher anyway.

[Oaktavia]

@hoppy_IPA huh that might work...

[sabergirl]

This all sounds like more work than I’m willing to put in . But thanks for the ideas, my friends.
