BigC Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 I can't be the only person who suffers from an unusually large backside and has trouble getting jeans.... You can your worst with the fat jokes... I'm no stranger to a fish supper and like a beer so I do have some fat, but I'm not obese and I do a fair amount of exercise too so I've got quite chunky legs. My measurements are 38x33 but I usually wear 40inch waist jeans for comfort... My issue is, ever since baggy jeans went out of fashion and low rise skinny jeans came in, I've struggled to get a pair of jeans that don't ride up my backside and crush my nuts when I sit down. Does anyone else have this issue? Can anyone recommend jeans that have a bigger seat & higher waist? As I'm not huge, High and Mighty jeans are all far too big... It's not that regular stores don't cater for my size (apart from wanky places like River Island), it's just that I'm unusually out of proportion...

Waist is 38" but need a 40" because I have a big ass! I get my jeans from Matalan. Got a pair today for a tenner. 40" waist, 33" legs. Fit perfectly. Edit: Matalan also has the stretch ones Denny is talking about and I sometimes get them for added comfort. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taffin Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 I find this a lot as well, though I am only a 30/32" I usually buy a 34" for comfort. For a cheap and cheerful pair that seems to last can I suggest Topman twister jeans. Seriously wanky idea, but they look not too bad, and most importantly are extremely comfy in the nether regions. DO NOT BUY THE SKINNY ONES!!! I can't recall the fit I have but try a few of the twister ones on and you will come across the ones I mean. Bearing in mind they are from Topman, you must do you utmost to avoid looking like a pillock. I therefore suggest you stear clear of any poncey colours or materials and just get the normal dark of light denim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigC Posted April 17, 2012 Author Share Posted April 17, 2012 Bit of a wake-up call if you can't squeeze into a pair of jeans, isn't it? I can swim 100 lengths of a 25m pool in under an hour, I can row 2000m in 7min 19sec, I cycled 20km for sport relief a couple of weeks ago the day after weight training... My fitness training is sporadic, whilst my pie eating less so, I therefore carry a bit of excess weight but my bodyfat percentage is not too far above the average for my age. I just have what appears to be a slightly unusual body shape which doesn't seem to fit the fashion of the day. If you're going to take the piss at least make a little bit of effort to inject some humour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigC Posted April 17, 2012 Author Share Posted April 17, 2012 I buy Levi 501s to accommodate my fat arse. I have a pair of 501's that fit not too badly, they are actually 38x34 rather than 40... The main problem with them is around the thighs... I struggle to bend my knees and pick stuff up when I'm wearing them because they are tight around there. I could probably get 40x34 but would rather have something looser still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cosanostra Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 I only wear Carhartt jeans and their loose fit are widely cut. I take a 36" waist but I like to buy 38" or 40" with the extra long legs and have the bottom bits of the legs trimmed down to make them extra loose. If you're ever in London there's a Carhartt shop at Covent Garden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I P Knightley Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 I've got cyclist's thighs which makes at least 80% of jeans cut the circulation to my legs when I sit down. In addition, there's an exercise regime I'm on which has focused on my belly muscles, giving them a rather circular appearance. The good people at Levi Strauss do a "505" model which is the only decent pair I've found to accommodate my girth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The People's Chimp Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Stretchy jeans. Matalan. River island. You get what you pay for when it comes to jeans and it sounds like you boys are buying complete and utter guff. Some stunning suggestions on this thread, although for an investment piece I'd always recommend the core denim brands, Matalan's elasticated waistbands are certainly up there in the style stakes, but as a newcomer I wonder whether they might not be the long term denim that the OP is looking for? BHS have been in the game for a long time, and there is a reason why. Quality, style, sophistication and no little comfort. They're certainly my recommendation.

The Doctor Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Jeans are just badly cut nowadays. I'm currently wearing a pair of 42" waist Next loose fit and I like them, they're okay, but I have them cinched in so much at the waist that there are pleats! I have a pair of 40" waist jeans at home (several actually) but they're all really tight around the thigh. I could probably get a pair of 38" on my waist, but I wouldn't get them up over my legs. I've lost a bit of weight recently (about a stone and a half in the past 6 weeks) and I'm hoping that one of the results of this will be the ability to fit into some of these jeans I've bought over the past couple of years that were cut for 10 year old girls. I've bought a few pairs of jeans off Jacamo and they're okay. I bought some Caterpiller ones that fitted really well, but Jacamo change their styles and suppliers so often and so regularly you can't buy the same pair of jeans twice.

Alan_R Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Jeans ARE poorly cut these days. Im a 34 waist in my fitted suit. However one of my pairs of cheap work trousers I had to go up to a 38! just so my legs had a bit room. Needs a belt as the fit is shocking. GAP are reasonably good. Their regular and slim cuts used to be excellent. Went down hill as well though with their 'new slim cut' which is actually drainpipe skinnys. Id plump for GAP EasyCuts, sort of regular cut with a bagger leg. Works for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boaby Ewing Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 If you're buying jeans at Marks and Spencer it's probably time to stop wearing jeans. Maybe just give up and traipse around in a onesie. There must be some sartorial states on this thread. I can understand not wanting to spunk 100 notes on a pair of Diesels or the like, but Levis aren't that expensive and won't leave you looking like a 40-year old toddler.

Creepy Lurker Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Sorry, was being a smartarse in all my previous posts Without wanting to derail the thread too much or go into too much detail, the main benefits are as follows: High levels of antioxidants / phytonutrients (nothing much to do with weight loss, but they do make it very good for you). Appetite suppressing effect. Slight fat burning effect, but it's overstated. You'd need to be drinking about seven cups a day for it to have any noticeable impact. Ultimately, what you eat is far more important; green tea will give you that extra 2% if your diet's good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
