I am getting a pair that has been cold soaked and air dried to a 82 cm (32") waist. Can I reasonaly expect them to stretch to a 33.5 or 34" waist?

I've heard that the raws only stretch about 0.5" in the waist; I'd imagine that the one wash would be the same.

You happen to be in luck, I Have a pair of SD-103's that I've washed twice. The waist on mine is currently stretched out to 17 1/2", so mines currently 35". It was 32" to start with, and I normally wear a 32" jean, they just stretch over time.

Mine haven't stretched anywhere near that much. They've stretched 0.5-1" in the waist at the very most. When I first got them they were ridiculously tight but have now loosened to very tight.

That's some mind-blowing wear... But I'm still concerned that the jeans will never quite be the size I'd like them to be. Anyone else with personal experience?
