Stretching SDA's

[tljenkin]

I have a great pair of SDA-103, but the rise is too low. Are there any specific things I can do to stretch them out besides "normal wear."

Wait, are you saying that the rise is too low because they're too tight to pull up higher, or what?

I've just recieved a few comments that the rise is not long enough, and that they look odd because of it. I was wondering if there was something I could do to stretch the rise.

I don't think SDAs are even considered a low rise jean. I believe the rise on my pair of 36s is like 11" I'm not really sure what to tell you, you're more or less not going to be able to stretch the rise, maybe 0.25" at the very most.

Tom, They are not really low-rise compared to a lot of SF jeans but they are compared to the jeans you've probably been wearing and that the people around you are used to seeing. Once you get used to it you'll never go back to wearing "normal" rise jeans again. These are just different and IMO better.
BTW, my 33's will be here Thursday. I can't wait.

Edit: Just tell them they don't know **** and that it's a SuFu thing. Then walk away secure in the fact you are a superior and enlightened denimhead.

Haha, that has been the attitude so far. I personally think that they could not be any better than they already are. I am grateful to you for hooking me up with them. However, I've just recieved a few, "Why are you wearing such tight jeans?" looks and remarks. They would be applauded on here as a perfect fit, though - not too tight, not too loose. I think the main "problem" has been the crotch fit which people seem to regard as "girly."

I usually just tell people that they will stretch over the next week or so.

Note: The SDA 103's are an incredibly slick pair of jeans that are developing very well. The cut through the thigh, knee and calf is excellent. I highly recommend them if you have friends that 'get it.'

i actually remember mine were very tight when i got them...but after a few weeks of wearing them every day they loosened up all over and I stopped considering them tight jeans....cuz they really aren't
