Additionally, stretch will also depend on the type of physical activity done in the jeans and the duration of it. Generally speaking, sitting all day in jeans, for example, might not help stretching them significantly while walking, climbing, squatting or whatever more likely will.
Yup, this. Always this.
I did what I always do with my new IH denim, cold washed, hung dry. Did some squats and stretches and they already have opened up a little more than what they were out of the bag.
As someone who rides his bike to work, does not have a desk job, and wears nothing but IH denim there, I’m anticipating a similar amount of waist stretch as my other 21s, maybe just over a longer period of time.
If I’m wrong, I’m wrong, but the fact that I almost immediately got some give in the waist after some squats makes me think I’m not.
Anyway, awesome pair of jeans.
