Nap-in-hammock break after lunch on a hot, dry and superdusty morning in the corral.

Hi Gents,
Unfortunately it looks like I would be a 37 in these.
Is going with a 36 and hoping for an inch of stretch wishful thinking?
This material doesn't stretch much. Maybe if you email the crew they can find a pair that has measurements that work for you.

They do stretch, especially if you are willing to put in the work. But they do not stretch as much, nor as willingly, as a twill weave like denim does.
I think you can add between 0.5” and 0.75” to your starting measurements in the waist.

I have a bit of a challenge finding the right size. My 666-142 in 33 is just perfect, especially waist and tigh (this model is a tad roomier in the tigh than some other 666).
The measurements of the duck in size 33 look all good to me but the waist seems too small. Going by waist a 35 tag size would be good, but all other measurements would be off.
I understood that there is less stretch than with denim. Any recommendations? -

There is indeed less stretch in the duck as it is a 1x1 weave and not a twill weave (1x2 or 1x3). It sounds like you need to go up a size, but to be sure, measure the denim jeans you refer to using the IH method. You will need the 666D that is about half an inch smaller than that measurement.
