Just got mine today, what's the stretching like on these? They're currently about .25 to .5 inches too small in the waist. I can button them up with a tiny bit of work.

can you guys tell me how you guys soak exactly? Water temperature, duration, do you tumble dry, natural dry, etc. (or wear it till it dry)?
