I have several Braided Sport Loops — Inverness Green, Abyss Blue, Black Cherry, Pistachio —by far my favorite band because they're so comfortable. They all stretch some. But in my experience, the Inverness Green stretches more and faster than all of the other ones I have. Washing shrinks them back down. I've stuffed one in my jeans pocket and tossed in the washer and dryer. I usually wash them by hand, though... just a little Dawn and some hot water and let air dry. Both methods work.

Well that's interesting news about the green one.

From my pic it looks like mine stretched more than a size....I tried a size 11 unity but that was way to tight. So hopefully the 12 will be ok.

I have washed my green one many times, in the washer/dryer and by hand...haven't experienced any shrinkage

thx!

Those with Braided Sport Loops: Do they stretch this much?

Attached below is my size 12 Inverness Green, Size 12 Unity, Size 11 Unity

I originally got the size 11 Unity because during the year I lost quite a bit of weight and noticed the Inverness Green band seemed too large.

When the size 11 arrived it was definitely tight. So I ordered size 12 to compare.

So is the Inverness Green stretched that much or did the sizing change?

I always get one size just smaller than I need because I found out that from putting it on off it stretches the band. At first it will be a little tight but with the larger correct size it gets lose after while.

I bought a backup of this one at Best Buy... on sale for $39. It's a keeper. I also think the soft-touch coating is better than with older bands... maybe my imagination but I wear this one a lot and it still looks great.

That’s great to hear, I assume the worst of all dark bands, but Ironstone is just light enough to not be a shiny nightmare. On another note, my Hasta seems to be going the way of my shiny Spruce Fog.
