One wash doesn’t shrink - tightens after washing then loosens. The denim stretches pretty much like most denim … it all depends on how much force is applied to it -
https://freewheelers.co.jp/about/brand/great_lakes.html This is (briefly) what the Great Lakes sub brand is about. It’s a fairly wide ranging idea, but if you dig a little you’ll start to understand the concepts and even the garment construction which is often quite different (this is something each sub brand will demonstrate).

SUPERDENIM SMALL QUESTIONS THREAD (Use instead of making new threads)

I’ve got a feeling Sushi has a hand in this … there’s also a special Stay Brave sweat

I haven’t put on that much weight

Yeah - sorry - kinda quoting myself when I said earlier the last couple for the holidays, then I got a request I could sneak in January will be the next belts (if I’m asked) 👍

Alran Sully chèvre, MeiSi threads, RiRi zip and Hasi Hoto snaps … pretty much the best spec of every component … for our postie 20 pieces of leather and about 1000 stitches

Perfect fit - the shoulder and upper chest areas are key

Interesting … Every pair of FW denims I’ve owned (and that’s not a small amount) have stretched at least 1 inch through normal wear - some of the heavier used pairs will be nearly 2 inches … although those pairs are pretty much wrecked -

That’s got as much to do with the cut of the jeans and the size of your arse as it has to do with waist size 😂 -

So we’ve got a handful of DMs and a couple of public posts from the same person asking the same question? A question that seems to have been answered in more or less the same way each time? @dada mafiosi are you just trying to find someone who will agree with your approach to give you comfort in your decision making? If you have a method you’re happy with then there’s no need for all the fuss - just buy the small size and stretch the fuck out of them. The only thing we ask is you share fit pics please … -

I’ve already responded when asked this question by DM, but to buy an actual 34 waist denim to fit an actual 36 waist is a complete nonsense by my reckoning. While it is possible the waistband could stretch by nearly 2 inches, the rest of the fit does not, and neither will threads, buttonholes etc. Beyond that, the waist of a human can expand nearly two inches more on any given time of day (food, food waste and the digestive process). My 33W are now nearly 35W … my actual waist is (was) 33
