I think I should be ok, thanks guys!!

So I might just keep them and do a soak and hopefully they stretch out

In it's raw state, they only button at the top. I have yet to soak, I'm just thinking I may be SOL with this pair or I can take my fat ass and run some pounds off lol

I hope it's not too much of a shrinkage. I shall give it a shot and see what results are.
Thanks Giles.

Hey guys, so I ordered the size 38 and they fit a bit snug in the waist. Would you recommend soaking them or not? And if so, will wearing them in the soak help stretch the waist band?

Thanks!
