Got a pair of DH Mii raw stick with my diesel size, turned out they are still tight as fuck after 2 weeks of stretching. The stretch process is really painful and they now fit like 17.5 in the legs (I tried 17.5 on) which is way too tight for my taste. I also tried on washed DHs they fit me much better in the legs (not as tight).

Should I stop whining, continue the stretch process or just maybe sell them?

I have no experience w/ DH, but you did the right thing based on every DH thread I've read so far.

haha yeah I probably should but man I really don't see that much stretch potential in them based on the torn clasp and hurting waist after 2 weeks, no pain no gain eh? plus the legs don't seem to stretch at all

^ legs won't stretch much at all. Only in the waist (from my experience)... you either have to loose weight or sell em. Most Dior jeans won't stretch as much as Diesel.

^"most" is the right word

I have a pair (washed, dark UMC) that really stretched a lot, probably more than 8AA
both in waist and in legs (and hard knee bulge)

In theory if you size down properly for DH raw they should fit slimmer in legs than washed DH cause the legs don't stretch as much as in the waist area, right? Since you size up once from raw DH.

word, but I am pretty sure he's given up the cause, since he listed them in the HM earlier today.

Yep my loss, somebody's gain. I tried washed DH size up once from the raw and the fit was what I desire. I'm too skinny to pull off the raw like the way most people do here.

Here's some worn pics




They fit perfectly in the wait area now but too tight in the thigh. I know if I size up once from my diesel size the waist will stretch a lot however I suppose the legs will fit better since that area doesn't stretch much.

They look fine I just like the way washed DH fit way better. They don't stretch that much and one size bigger which fits my legs much better with a looser yet slim fit.

LOL. Most definitely not too tight in the thighs. They look really really good.

Edit: maybe too tight in ass area tho I really can't tell from pics.

Now I'm eying on either once upon blue or infinite mind which are close to raw indigo but might not stretch that much. I can size up without worrying about massive knee bulge and loose ass. Any thoughts?

What? I thought knee bulge happened when raws are too tight Personally I wouldn't recommend sizing up from that fit. Looks quite nice.

I meant to say I want to size up for washed models like once upon blue or infinite mind. When you size down for raws you get knee bulge and tightness in the legs. Sorry about the confusion
