There's no Such Thing as a Stupid Question

No, it was not getting used in the capacity it was designed, the 21IHE replaced this

Ok just checking! Bummer!

Is it not possible/advisable to use canvas duck (or some other kind of indigo-dyed fabric) for the waistband? That will prevent the waistband from stretching after wearing the jeans.

Personally, I prefer jeans with minimal waistband stretch.

[UnTucked]

I think if you wear a belt, your jeans waistband will not stretch any bigger than the size you have your belt tightened to… At least that's what I think common sense dictates, but I could be wrong.

Hiut's have an internal canvas waistband on their jeans. It doesn't retard waist stretch on them.

[DougNg]

They should use that as a slogan

Hiut's: Our Waist Stretch Isn't Retarded

[neph93]

The man behind Hiut is an ex advertising man. I can't believe he didn't come up with that himself…

Are these an IH wesco makeup? If so, what are the specs o

[Giles]

Nope, they are Flathead deerskin….But I could build almost the identical pair with Wesco....

Why don't others also use the same thing? Apart from difference in fading, I don't see any difference the canvas waistband will make.

If everyone made their jeans the same way, that would be boring, lol!

But really though, if you buy your pants with a 32" waist (for example), and you don't want the waist to stretch past 32" you only need to wear a belt that is tightened to 32".

Because your Prince Albert hasn't fully healed yet

Stretch of the waistband is smart in my opinion. It stretches to your personal size so it gives a better fit to a greater range of body shapes and not just to the ones who are lucky enough to have the exact body measurements needed.

[Giles]

Which is precisely why denim (a twill weave) became so supremely popular for jeans….It stretches, moulds and drapes to the wearer's body shape....

[Mild7]

Absolutely.  Its why jeans are jeans.  And all I ever wear.

Maybe IH can make some 500 denier 5-pockets!

The problem is that I buy size 31 when my waist needs size 30. That said, I will try and see if a belt stops it from stretching.

That explains why we don't see enough jeans in canvas duck.
