Rag & Bone - Stretch & Shrinkage Question

Quick question for you guys - how much should I expect a pair of Rag & Bone RB6 to stretch? Likewise will they shrink once I wash them (assuming it is a cold / lukewarm wash & hang dry)? I bought a pair of 34x32 on active endeavours and they are fairly stiff right now, wondering if I should upsize to a 36 or expect the current pair to stretch a modest amount. Thanks!

I have a pair of RB6B (the black version) and they hardly shrunk at all after a wash and dry. I don't know if the black version is that much different than the regular RB6 denim, though. For example, my pair weren't stiff at all when new. I can't help you with the stretching, unfrotunately - I was washing and drying mine to try to shrink them as they're a bit big (and now a lot too big since I lost weight).

I have a pair of dry RB14, they didn't stretch much after a few months of wear, probably ~.5".

I have a pair of the RB6 that were fairly stiff when I bought them as well. I washed them in cold and there was minimal shrinkage, but I haven't noticed a lot of stretching either. I have been wearing them about a month or so. Just for reference they were from active endeavors and 34x32.
