I assume you must get new size pants to go IWB. What is the advice on how to judge the extra space needed.

One size bigger should do it. I normally wear a 34 waist. I buy 36 for IWB and that’s about perfect.

I CC in my yoga pants no new size, no problem. Spandex is a great modern invention.

I just wear my regular paints. My larger double stacked pistol is getting tight though. Of course it’s the pistols fault not me or the food.
I have never needed to up my pants size, just loosen up my belt some.

No need to apply mate, you can wear Spandex any time you want! We still have that freedom here for now!
Yeah, um. no lol
Buy jeans that have a little bit of stretch in them.
I've been buying boot cut jeans from old Navy that have like 1% spandex in their cotton and it's a huge improvement. Way more flexibility and comfort. It make carrying vs not carrying no real difference. The only thing I do is one belt loop difference but the pants and waist feel great with normal movement and comfort.

That might be one of the very few freedoms I am against.

Depends on the gun. I need more space for a glock than a 1911.
But I buy bigger sizes anyway and use a belt. I hate tight pants hugging my butt

My IWB pants are now four to six inches smaller (depending on the pant style / cut / matetial) than my waist size when I got my EDC. After I thought about all the factors of self defense I upped my exercise and lifestyle game. After I got in better shape I also found I could better conceal OWB and pocket carry too. Conceal carry might have been a motivating factor in improving my health. Just a thought.

Thanks for the replies. Your answers help.
I also found a video on EDC for fat guys.

Going up a pant size will be more comfortable. But sometimes you can get away with IWB carry without up sizing.
Do you normally wear your pants a little loose with a belt? or snug.
I can carry a G27 or M&P Shield IWB with my normal pants size. But I have to go up one pants size when I carry a G30 IWB.

Who's the wonder woman chick? You can send her over. The gagged and bound asshat can stay home lol
That’s Captain Marvel. She caught the loser in the background peeping on girls changing and prepped him for punishment. And he was severely punished so i hear.
Sorry, @Darth messed me up, I thought I was in the holster thread. You can see where my head was at lol.
I've kept the same size pants even when I started carrying
