Shrunk Me Wested Trousers

[IndyFan71]

Folks,

I had the misfortune of having my 34" waist Wested trousers shrunk by way of a dryer. They now look like kids pants on my 6'1, 190 lb frame and I don't know how to stretch them back to normal size. Does anyone have any creative ideas to get them back to normal size?

Thanks,

Being as the suggestions for restoring them haven't flooded in, I suppose I'll call this a loss and offer--free of charge--a pair of formerly size 34/32 Wested trousers, altered for better drape with the belt loops lowered, albeit a bit frayed to the first person who thinks they'll fit in 'em. PM me.

Cheers,

Sorry to hear about that. If you are giving them way, I thought I'd ask. What's the inseam? By 34/32, I'm assuming you mean the waist has shrunk? My brother wears 32" waist, but his inseam is about 36". I am aware that Wested only goes as long as 34".

Maybe I can slim down and my fat butt will fit a 32" waist... one day. Not likely. ;D

Thanks,

Josh,

The pants found a lucky new owner within hours of my offer. The inseam, btw, was 32. It's now ...shorter.

Oh I missed out on those pants that's a shame. Im after a pair of indy pants now, as ive made do with chinos that look indy like up to now. I guess I want a Indy shirt as well, ive basically only got casual shirts that are a bit safaryish as well.

Whats more important a Indy pant or Indy shirt if you had the choice? Ive got the leather jacket, boots, Fedora.

Happens to my jeans all the time.
1. Wash them.
2. Stretch them while they are wet.
3. Air dry then try them on.
4. Repeat if necessary.
5. NEVER MACHINE DRY THEM AGAIN! haha

Works for me anyway.
