will Dickies stretch in the waist?

[superBobo]

Got a new pair in the mail, which are a bit to tight in the waist, or rather, I would like to be able to wear them a little lower...

Will they stretch with wear, or does the fabric (cotton/poly blend I think) prevent that? :confused:

youll probably just rip the button thingy out, if they still use that little metal buttony thing i think my old pairs had, because i kind of remember that happening to me a long time ago

I don't know that they stretch as such but once you've worn them a while and they've gone through the wash a few times they'll lose their initial starchiness. I wear Dickies everyday and once you break them in they'll be supercomfy.

You probably won't be able to pull them down much lower though since there're cut to be worn more on your waist rather than on your hips.

[superBobo]

Yea, dickies are really comy, especially washed. I got a couple in 34 waist that I can wear on the hips, but I think they´re too baggy otherwise. So I ordered a size 32 instead, which is supertight...

they dont' really stretch out like denim does, but you can let dickies out about 1.5" in the waist. you have to pull the rear seam. do this before you wash it or the outside fabric will fade and you will have a weird ass stripe down the back.

i have some 5year olds ( dickies jeans ) and they stretched out from a 30 to a 33, but mine are 100% cotton. All jeans will stretch to some degree.

this should be in superdenim.

[superBobo]

Well, these aren´t jeans. It´s the "orginal work pant". Sorry for the confusion.

[viv1984viv]

ah, hence it not being in superdenim, sorry I just assumed they would be jeans, denim on the brain!

I cut the waist on my dickies at each side and they fit good now.

just let them out in the ass/waist..

dickies denim is hot garbage

[Icarus]

As said before, they're not going to stretch enough to come off the waist.

On all of my older dickies you can do this but on a newer pair I have you can't, I dunno when they changed it though.

oh... i havent' had a pair of dickies in like 5 years since the oi years... didn't realize they quit making them that way.

It's too bad they stopped because the waists are ridiculously tight on those pants, compared to how big the legs are. I've had better luck with generic brand work pants fit-wise.

On this topic, does anyone have any suggestions for slimmer work-type pants?

would that really work?
