Jeans for Guys

in Chit-Chat
I'm running into a little issue here. Jeans that fit my waist generally do not fit my quads (well they do, just not in a comfortable way). Skinny jeans ... well those should just not be in a guy's wardrobe, but these may be borderline. I usually wear Lucky 32 x 30.

Do any of you fella's have recommendations?

    I have nothing helpful to say. I just think it's awesome that men are having the same problem that women do.

    Women in tight pants is an acceptable site though. Not so much with men.

    Same problem here. Usually have to go for relaxed fit or loose fit to avoid the painted-on-my-legs look.

    No skinny jeans. As a friend of mine said earlier this week, if a guy will go out in public dressed like that, imagine what other bad decisions he's capable of making.

    I have a recommendation.. Build a time machine, and find the idiot who made Skinny Jeans "OK\Acceptable" for "Men" to wear, give me a call, and we'll go break his legs....

    As for what jeans brand, I have no idea now, as I have to buy a belt with every pair or they won't go over my legs!

    I wear a variety, and my wife picks them out. Urban Pipeline, Wrangler, Cinch, Levi's, etc. I wear a 30x36 now.

    I generally wear wrangler relaxed fit typically 1-2 sizes larger. I just setlle for wearing a belt at all times. Better that then having them spandaxed on my legs.

    Most comfortable ones I wear are Harley Davidson. They fit well, enough room for a tall guy like me to bend down and not get a wedgie.

    When I wear Buffalo's I get groped at times, so the females tend to like the fit.

    Levi's signatures are good low end one that are a cross between the two.

    Prana jeans are the jeans that fit the way I want them to. Downside is they're $80/each but well worth the price.

    These are the ones I wear

    I've just gone through this. I ended up finding jeans that fit pretty well at both Gap and Express. I had to pay twice as much as I'm used to paying. They're both slim fit straight style and sit pretty low on the hips.

    ETA: I wear 31x30 in most things. I'm not a very big person. My thighs and hips are proportionally larger than my waist though.

    Yep. I have tree trunks for quads. I also find relaxed straight leg by Arizona (JCPenny brand) works for me.

    Those Ballroom jeans seem to work well for me.. same with the Wranglers that Brett Favre does the commercials for.

    I just came in here to see what was in all the guys pants. Carry on.

    Apparently the answer to that is "quads & glutes."

    Guys - if you're looking for cheap jeans that come in loose fit you might try Old Navy. I always get those for my husband when they're on sale for $19 a pair. I think reg price is still only about $29 or $35. But don't expect them to last more than about a year, especially if you wash them a lot.

    I got my guy some levi jeans that are fitted on the waist but expand out at the thigh and bottom of the leg, still a lil snug on his thighs cause he's got big leg muscles but not uncomfortable and not tight on his crotch or anywhere else and looks good. So there's some good jeans out there for skinny guys with good looking leg muscles but they are hard to find really good jeans for guys just like it is for girls. Stores seem to push those skinny jeans for guys and they are hideous.

    Those Ballroom jeans seem to work well for me

    Their commercials are hilarious! I had wondered if the jeans were as good as advertised.

    Wha?

    To the topic at hand, I have to wear jeans at work most of the time, and I shop exclusively at Goodwill (can't beat jeans for $3 every other Saturday). Most of the ones I find are of limited usefulness, but I've had decent luck with loose fit varieties of most major brands. I have to say, though, that overall, the 2 most consistently decent-fitting brands are Lucky and some brand called Urban Up that I'd never heard of before.

    My boyfriend swears by Levi's low-rise bootcut. Not sure of style.

    When I used to work retail for Levi's there was a 560 jean that was athletic cut with straight leg. Which means same as 501 (button fly) or 505 (zipper fly) in waist and hips but with larger thigh and straight from kee down. I used to fit these on many New England Patriots players including my regular customer Vinny Brown. At the time (1989-1993) the 550 was popular. Same as 560 but with tapered leg. As much as I detest the skinny jean on men...I think a tapered leg is a much larger faux pas currently. Hope this helps some

    haters gonna hate, but the loose fitting wranglers from walmart are great.

    I have to wear them to fit over my quads as well. I look "normal" in loose jeans.

    Levis 560 is the only style I will wear.

    Levi's 527 Slim Fit, Boot Cut, Low Rise for cheaper jeans.

    Express Kingston have a wider leg though and are still boot cut. A little more pricey but not to bad as they always have coupons available.

    I run into the exact same problem. Either to loose in my waist but fit my quads or to tight in my quads but fit my waist. I have found lucky fits better than Levi's, but still not great.

    I'm gonna go check out sevens for mankind tonight after work cause I have a 50% off discount I can use, hopefully they fit well
