@popvulture great advice! Thanks for the info. Didn’t realize the 21oz had more give than what I’d typically expect. I’ve sized down before in other brands where the waste was a little too snug and the break in to get them comfortable was pretty miserable. Was afraid with these being heavy weight that I’d be better off going more relaxed in the waist, but now they won’t stay up without a belt.

@tdb85 I purchased both my indigo and sbg 21oz fitted, but comfortable and both pairs are too big for my liking. They stretch a lot. Fine out of the wash, but quickly stretch. I definitely should have gone a size down. Thighs stretch too. Not as much, but the do.

@jpvisual I like hearing this. I have been thinking about my usual size and I don't mind a relaxed pair. I wonder if this is a charecteristic of all the 21oz denims?

All the ones I’ve owned (indigo, SBG, OD) have a good bit of stretch. The OD is probably the least because the overdye process leads to max shrinkage, but it’s still got plenty.

I always buy my jeans a little snug (XHS being the exception) but not too much — I’ve never had good results when jeans started off as uncomfortable or even downright painful, but a little bit of snugness always sorts itself into a more ideal fit pretty quickly, in my experience. Some people say that you only get stretch in areas of tension and that a too-big waist won’t stretch even more from wear, but I’ve never had good luck with that. Sure, the waist may not be stretching at all when you’re standing, but squat, sit, or do any number of human things and your jeans will be even bigger pretty soon. Of course your mileage may vary.

Sounds optimistic, Adam. Just one thing to note - for some reason the feature "Email when back in stock" doesn't really work for me. In case with XHS ib it didn't - haven't got any notification to any of the two emails privided. Fortunately I was checking the forum on a regular basis ️
