Levi 873 Jeans - do they stretch?

Hello,

I'm trying to decide between two sizes of Levi 873 skinny (not super-skinny) jeans, which are 99% cotton, 1% elastine. They're on sale at the moment for $70 in Myer.

I've had 100% cotton Levis before and I know they stretch a LOT with wear. But I'm not sure about the elastine-blend ones. In my experience, other brands of elastine-blend jeans haven't stretched as much as 100% cotton ones.

The size 11 are just about perfect - it would be okay if they stretched a bit around thighs and hips, but I wouldn't want them to stretch much at all around the waist - they are snug at the waist, just how I like them, but not tight.

The size 10 are a struggle to get into and are super-snug on the thighs and hips. I really would hope they'd stretch - they'd be a disappointing buy if they didn't! Quite snug at the waist, too.

I'd be so appreciative if someone could advise me - do these particular jeans stretch?

Many thanks,
Cathy
