Soaking and Stretching Denim
-
The amount of stress applied is going to determine the stretch. Some folks' thighs will strech that area of the jean an inch, whereas others will only achieve 1/4 inch. The denim is loosely woven, which I believe translates to substantial stretch under the right conditions. 13" for a thigh measurement is on the looser side, so they would only be strech by somebody with thighs that large.
I know I've heard people say the thighs of their jeans have streched 1 inch, but I wouldn't say it's common.
Hope that helps.

I have 36w busters. Thigh 13.2 using this sites measurements.
I am putting stress on them which is why i'm asking. They work for standing around, a little tight walking up stairs. sitting/biking etc they are definitely snug so glad to hear about the stretch. They were cramping up my style when I went bowling recently when my leg kicked up.1" meaning from a 26-27 right?

Hi all.
I've been looking at buying a pair of IH-634S for a while now and have eventually decided to go for it. My main worry is around sizing and shrinkage, which I still am a little fuzzy on. I'm usually a 32" waist and 32" leg when I buy my standard fashion type jeans.
Anyway, I've measured a pair of existing jeans which I find fit me pretty well, measurements below:
Waist: 33 Front Rise: 11.25 Rear Rise: 13.5 Thigh: 10.5 Knee: 9 Inseam: 31.5 Cuff: 9From these measurements I'm thinking a size 32 would be good, given that I should expect up to an inch stretch in the waist. My main concern is leg length. 35" is way too long for me so if I get them factory hemmed at 32" should I expect any shrinkage?
Any size advice or feedback from UK owners would also be greatly appreciated.

Hi there. They will stretch an inch or so in the waist. So I would go with 32, then they will stretch to the size you have measured on an existing pair.
Stick them in the cart and then add chainstitching:

First of all, I'm the guy who purchased the last pair of 634SR: W28!
They arrived today, with a very nice heart shaped box full of chocolate candies: "The last pair! thank you Giorgio"
Thank you, IH, I say…
Now they are under soaking.
One week ago I had bought a pair of 634S, W29, that fit very good, but maybe a little loose. Perhaps I could have worn a 28, after all.
So, I decided to try the 28 thing with the 634SR. Maybe i made a mistake, but I don't care, I can give them to my sister.Last night I dreamed about it. In my dream there was Giles with a strange pair of dungarees (surely not 21oz at all) in his hands. He stayed in front of me with these pants and two or three shirts too...

Woah! If G was holding the dungarees in his hands…does that mean he was naked?! Good grief Georgeel...you got it bad;)
(look closely at the picture of how the thigh is measured!)
