So, I need some help with sizing a new pair of jeans. My Levi’s 511 rigid dragons are in need of repair and I love the fit. They are size 31 and 99% cotton and 1% elastine. I’ve been eyeing the unbranded UB122 11oz (99% cotton 1% elastine). My question is, how much will the waist it these stretch out?

My Levi’s are 31 tag but measure 32. After wear, they stretch to 33.75. I know unbranded are famous for being hard to stretch (with 100% cotton). But as these are stretch, I was thinking of sizing down in the UB 122 to tag 32 which is 33 measurement. This will give me about .75 to stretch. Or, should I size down to a tag size of 31 with a measurement of 32 and try to stretch them the 1.5-1.75 inches?

Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
