    Why would you waste 350 dollars on a pair of jeans?

    I'm sorry but maybe you'll have to get them talored.

    When I got down to a 34 waist and went jean shopping I ran into the same thing. I tried on a pair of skinny jeans just for fun, and couldn't get them over my calf. I have pretty much come to grips with the fact that I will always need to buy wide leg or loose fit jeans, regardless of how small my waist gets........

    Was actually very demoralizing going shopping this past weekend. I mean im 6'3 about 275lb. Which is still pretty lanky compared to your average body builder. I could not get my forearms into a XXL shirt. Forever destined to sweats and t-shirts!

    Thing is, it be alright i guess if i planned on getting smaller. But I dont.

    sorry bro, but at 6'3, 275 i find it hard to believe you have a 34" waist.

    <--- 34" waist (6'2, 215)

    34 inch waist pant (fromTtommy Hilfiger Outlet) fits fine. I had my mom add some denim to the inside legs of my pants on several occasions. I would however not let her touch a 350$ pair of jeans.

    You bought jeans that cost $350? :noway:
    I spent $50 on Levis and grumbled about it the whole way home.

    My fiancé buys $350 pants. But really, you're just paying for the name.

    Yes jeans are not made like they used to, but I have never fitted into 501s.

    You just have to as mentioned, get them tailored or wear them baggy.

    There are worse things ya know... You could be destined to t-shirts and sweats because you're too fat! I can't even get in a pair of jeans right now that the waist line doesn't cut me in half...and the *kitten* is saggin'. So, be glad its because of muscles and not fat HA! :smile:

    I had this issue when I was training in jiu-jitsu for competition. Never found a good solution. Belt or tailor.
    I have the same issue with shirts. Even at my best weight, I have a 22" neck. So the shirts balloon, so tailor is the only option for those.
    There are companies making athletic fit jeans. I have not tried them, but here is the link:

    If they work, please let me know.

    Tailor.

    If you can afford to buy $350 jeans, you can afford to get them tailored to fit you.

    Also, could try GASP - http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/gasp/attitude-denim-jeans.html

    or,

    Hotbodz - http://www.hotbodz.com/category-s/28.htm

    I almost NEVER see guys at my gym doing legs. I've never really thought about that before. Why don't most guys do that?

    Have you seen this guy people? He's a powerlifter of which almost all lifts involve the legs/glutes.

    I feel you man I have had a big *kitten* my whole life, but also enjoy lifting legs heavy and often ever since competitive sports from college/high school. It seems as if guy's jeans this day and age are made for women. I mean seriously....Low rise? Skinny? tight around the package?.....where does it end!?!

    I've found LUCKY jeans have largest girth around the hip and thigh area which by the way you can get at a TJMAXX for $40.

    they aren't the glory muscles like chest and arms are. but few people know that if you do legs, you'll slowly but surely get a nice rock hard stomach.

    For the same reason you don't see many women lifting upper body heavy, and doing nonstop cardio. They want to work their "problem areas" and never focus on their true weaknesses. Anyone who ONLY lifts is usually afraid of getting small, anyone who ONLY does cardio is afraid of getting fat.

    It's really ironic when if those folks just had a decent balance of both and their diet was on key they could be muscular AND lean.

    Have you looked at relaxed fit?

    And I was just ******n to my wife this weekend about everyone making guys clothes that look like teenage girls clothes. I don't want to dress in skinny jeans and vnecks.

    Edit:

    I just looked at your pics, nevermind, you are f#cked man...I think cargo pants are going to be your go to there. And I'm going to add I'm a bit jealous too.

    My thighs are roughly the size of a sapling. Relaxed fit jeans are the only way to go for me.

    True Religions are only good if you wear your shirts untucked and you let your jeans sag - this is coming from somebody with 4 pairs in his closet. They also run a bit big in my experience - a Seven 34 fits like a True Religion 32.

    If you want a quality pair of premium denim with a more normal cut, try Citizens For Humanity (or Seven For All Mankind, for that matter). They make relaxed fit, which is good for those of us with thunder thighs!

    One last thing to remember - jeans stretch out. If they are somewhat loose in the dressing room, they will only get looser as time goes on. They might be a little tight in the beginning, but don't worry, you won't rip them!
