how to stretch carhartt pants waistline?

i recently bought a pat of the carhartt regular cargo pants in my usual 34w, when i tried them on i had trouble zipping and buttoning it up. i tried on all my other pants and jeans (also 34w) and they fit fine. just put them in the washer is there a way i can stretch them when they’re wet? thanks

You cant stretch out pants like that, you'll ruin them.

Your other pants are probably vanity sized, just return them and size up.

Or those other pants are worn at a different part of the body.

Carhartt tends to run a bit small in the seat/waist in my experience (in part because they are a higher rise and don’t sit where most pants do). You might be able to put them on when they are wet and let them dry on you, but that probably won’t give you enough room if you’re having trouble zipping them.
