Do RB6a stretch?

I just got a pair of RB6a in a size 30 and the waist fits ok but it feels a tad tight in the butt and the thighs (which is weird because I always read that RB6s are very loose in the butt/thighs). Can I expect these to stretch a bit, or are they unlikely to change much? Thanks!

When I got mine, they were a bit tight too. They'll loosen up for sure.

There were (to my knowledge) 2 different cuts of RB6. I received one that was NOS from 2 years ago, I believe, on eBay that fit slightly baggier than the ones I purchased from Denim Bar in Spring '06. I kept the baggier pair.

I have the same problem with the RB6's I just recieved too. I plan on wearing a thick pair of sweatpants underneath them while at home to stretch them out. Someone should invent a jean stretcher because this happens to me a lot. A majority of jeans fit like they were disigned for 5'9" 135lb hipsters.
