Will cords stretch at all?

[emarxnj]

Bought 2 pairs of the 5 pocket straight fit cords from LEC, which is usually pretty spot-on size wise for me. They look great, but they feel pretty snug in the thigh. I haven't owned cords since I was like 5, so I don't know much about them. Will they stretch to some degree like denim, or are these never going to fit right?


Or should I just go the gym?

They will stretch out after a couple of wears and shrink back in the wash.

Damn. Guess it's the gym then.

100% cotton will always stretch a bit with wear. But, generally they will revert to their original shape in the wash. You can mitigate the re-shrink by washing them infrequently, in cold water, and hanging them to dry.

Just return them and get the next size up. LEC has the best return policy ever.
