i searched and i couldn't find a definitive answer

i just bought a pair of apc rescue's. i originally was going to buy the new standards, but i found that when i found a size that i could barely button at all, the thigh and calve areas were much too tight for my liking. so i tried on a pair of rescues, which i manged to button up (with a lot of difficulty) but had the right fit around the thighs/calves.
my question is, do the thighs/calves stretch out as substantially as the waist will?
and if the pair i just bought i managed to button up after a lot of effort, does this mean the waist will eventually expand to the point where its too roomy?

thanks in advance

There's a whole APC thread with questions like this.

If it's too tight to button up now that means that more than likely it will fit fine once it stretches out. Many people have done the same as you have and it supposedly stretches 2" in the waist. Calves/thighs will stretch but just a bit, nowhere near as much as the waist. Special flower.

If you can get them on, then they will fit fine once stretched. My New Standards were skin-tight on the calfs when new, but between the slight stretching there, and the stretching at the waist (which makes them sit lower) they are perfect.

It is really easy to figure this out. If there is stress on the denim, it will stretch. Plus you should have noticed the newbie denim thread up top or searched for the APC thread.
