They will stretch, but not easily and not without some exposure to water.
My first soak scared me, but after a few more, the stretch after a soak is almost immediate.

If the former, you could try various stretching methods. My favourite is using a car jack and a block of 2x4. You need to be very careful not to bust the button but if you are it does the job.
That's amazing, haha! It's just the waistband that goes around. It's fine when I am upright, but while sitting I definitely notice it. Even have had days with sore hips after wearing these, haha! Sounds like I need to get them wet and then put them on to hopefully stretch them.
They fit perfectly otherwise and I love the cut.

That’s the key, soak the waist band and then give them a good stretching while wet - if you can, let them dry in the stretcher

Ok cool, final question….what should the water temp be?
-
Really doesn’t matter. It is the lubrication of the threads that is important, not the temps. Lukewarm straight from the tap will be fine.
Thanks!

Any plans for a restock of these? Thanks for the info

Hope you guys have the same dates for the 555XHSib… Can't wait to a tag 36 to be available!!

XHSib restock will likely be in October some time.
Our workshops are very small, we have to prioritize what we make because we can't make it all at once.
That's make totally sense. First lighters fabrics for the summer season and then back to the heavy hitting ones for the colder months. We will wait a little bit more then. Thanks Giles!!

@hoppy_IPA Those are looking great! Mine are quite a ways behind yours in terms of fading but I hope they turn out as good as yours. I really love the 142 denim. Thanks for posting.

thank you for the kind words
this denim is a stubborn fader but great to have in the summer months. ive mowed the lawn & washed my truck in them countless times. -
Looking great. I've been wearing the 666 version all summer and they're looking similar. I'll probably keep wearing mine until the end of October since it's still pretty hot here in AZ.
