They did stretch out quite a bit with wear, at least&nbsp;in the wash (rinse)&nbsp;I had. That might be relevant, too, by the way. I washed in cold or cool and air dried. My daughter has since stuck them in the dryer and they have shrunk a bit.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-selvage-jeans---how-much-do-they-stretch-out#post-1005743 Wed, 14 Aug 2013 16:36:44 +0000 cinnamon fern 1005743@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have two pairs. &nbsp;I didn't notice that they shrank at all in the wash (washed on cold, hung to dry). &nbsp;They stretch a lot. &nbsp;Definitely go for the smaller size. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-selvage-jeans---how-much-do-they-stretch-out#post-1005735 Wed, 14 Aug 2013 16:10:58 +0000 Ainsley 1005735@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Has anyone owned a pair for a while? &nbsp;Do they stretch out much? &nbsp;Shrink in the wash?</p> <p>Here is my dilemma... &nbsp;I ordered the 1969 Original Fit Selvage Jeans in two sizes.&nbsp; The smaller size is slightly tight in the waist and lower hip. &nbsp;The larger size is perfectly slouchy - I can pull them down without unbuttoning them. &nbsp;But &nbsp;I don't want the larger size&nbsp;to get any bigger (or at least not much bigger),&nbsp;and I'm concerned that the smaller size won't stretch out enough. &nbsp;So which size to keep?</p> <p>I have a pair of Gap SBFs that are 100% cotton but not selvage and they stretched out quite a bit. &nbsp;The reviews for the Gap Selvage jeans say to size down, but other websites about selvage say that selvage denim&nbsp;shrinks significantly after washing. &nbsp;So any guidance would be greatly appreciated! </p>
