As most NYDJ jeans do, they stretched out a lot after wearing.  Even after I washed them in hot water and dried them on high heat, they stretched out too much after just an hour of wear.  Yet, the seams around the button placket looked stretched to the point that I feared they may rip.  I'm going to find a way to get them altered a little.  I bought the same jeans in a 16, and they were way too tight--I'll keep them though because they'll fit if I lose a few pounds.
