Stretching Jeans
« on: September 04, 2008, 04:26:52 AM »
while i was in bangkok i picked up a pair of fake levi's jeans and the fit is nice, but the length is a little short, like if i  wear them to skate they would be just above the tongues of my shoes....

any way of stretching jeans lengthwise??

I don't think so, but I know my jeans feel baggier and stuff when I wear then for a couple days straight, skate in them, etc without washing. Try that. If not, sag a bit. No problem.

ahhh... the infamous thai fakes... if you really want to, you can wet them and hang them up, and them hang weights at the bottom of the legs.  should get an inch or two from that.

i got them for 300 baht, around 9 or 10 USD, which is an impossible deal to pass up.....

Does that stretching thing work with jeans that were never big to begin with?  I just bought like five pairs of pants with a length of 32 and it seems that I'm probably a 34.  They don't really flood, but I like my pants long.
