stretch my stan ray fatigues to fit?

hey folks—got a hold of a pair of stan ray fatigues, 32 waist a few weeks ago. They fit pretty well when they arrived but shrunk a tad in the wash and are just on the uncomfy side of snug now. Does anybody have experience with stretching them? I remember hearing about folks soaking their denim and wearing them but I have no idea if that works for other cotton twill…

Snug in the waist? They’ll probably loosen back up with a little wear

Yeah they shrink a lot on the first wash. Good news: they probably won't shrink more. Bad news: I have not had a lot of success stretching them back out compared to denim. Personally would size up if that's an option.

i ended up sizing up in my Stan Ray fatigues as well fwiw. After purchasing my typical waist size and trying to make it work. Hope these work out for you though 🙂
