Why the fuck are jeans now made for little scrawny men who are bordeline chicks? I’m by no means a big guy. I have larger than average legs but nothing ginormous and it took me an hour to find jeans that fit, well close to fitting. I could have went for a 34-36 inch waiste but I’m a 32 and would have looked like a ridiculous paper bag. Almost all of the 32’s are designed for men with legs the size of my calves.
Are most men built like this or are striving to fit into these. I would have to lose a great deal to fit into these now fangaled metrosexual jeans. And why the fuck would a guy want low rise or boot cut bellbottom jeans? Sorry thats gay.
Carpenter jeans are a better fit but it looks like stores don’t really carry those anymore. I’m not big enough to shop at a Big and Tall store.
So clothing stores stop catering to these little scrawny men who can pass as having a young teenage girls figure. There are still some men out there that like to be, ya know, men!
For real. Have you seen that add for Levis “Skinny Straight” (straight? up for debate…) Jeans? They use some remake of Cash’s “I walk the Line” and it sickens me. But yeah, I bought a pair of jeans, like a 36 inch waist, and they were STILL too tight on my legs. Fucking give my balls some room to breath, you know? I bitched to the girls at American Eagle about it too: “Some of us guys have asses you know”. Oh well.
I have a solution to your dillema, but let me vent first.
I’ve had the simlar problems lately, only with khakis. They’re like wearing tights with the fits they have nowdays. It amazes me that guys have legs that skinny. I’m not huge by T-standards either, but I’ve got decently thick legs. Same goes for dress pants. If I don’t get them fitted, it looks like I’ve got old man diapers on under my pants. It’s like most 6’5" guys are either obese or twigs. They never consider guys over 6’3" being built proportionately.
Ok…now that I’ve got that off my chest. Try Gap wide-leg fit jeans. They are the best I’ve found. Still a little tight around the ass, but you can break em in with about a week’s worth of wear. Structure used to have great fitting jeans, but they’ve gone downhill since they turned into that girl’s brand (I forget the name). You might also want to try Axist brand. I think it’s a Khol’s brand, but they look pretty decent from what I’ve seen. Just make sure you always go with the wide-leg fit. Hope that helps.
I buy nearly everything over the internet now. Even walking into the average clothing shop now is a waste of time. All I get is looked at funny anyway if they see me walk into an Old Navy.

You can get nearly every size from Old Navy’s web site. None of that shit is actually IN the stores though.[/quote]
Yeah, forgot to mention that wide-legs are only sold online. I’d stay away from the Old Navy version though, they don’t last as long as the Gap brand. I think the only B&M store you can find wide-leg Gap jeans are in their outlet stores.
I was just thinking about this right before I saw this thread. Men’s jeans these days are built for chicken legs and are super low cut in the back. So basically, women’s jeans.
The only jeans I’m even remotely satisfied with, I found at Old Navy.
Try White’s Outdoor. I ordered a pair of custom made leather boots from them.
In their catalog they list “Prison Blues” Men’s Work Jeans featuring 14.7 oz. 100% cotton denim. Alternately, you could go for the 12 oz. 100% cotton “Key” Denim Logger Dungarees.
They market stuff for the very rugged environment of the Northwest.

Old Navy is owned by the same parent company that owns Gap. I’d suggest getting Gap jeans over Old Navy because they’re a lot better quality and, as a result, last longer. Just my 2 cents…
