JEANS

Sean, The buckle will hook you up!! They are great, my hubby and I both have issues and they would a great fit for us both
Try BKE brand at the buckle, its a loose leg but still tight at wasit, looks great on fit booties!!!

Depends on your budget...Sevens and True Religion have some...but are pricy...MEK makes a great pair that is a little cheaper ($110ish) and LEE Dungaries...yeah, Lee makes a few style that require very littel alterations and are about $40. I haev the same prob...my waist is 27-28 and my thighs are 29ish...not fun!

RA FAMILY,

Thanks for all the help! I have some great suggestions on where to start.

We could also get that bodybuilder jean company going. How about SQUATS AND STYLE? :-)

Haha, I love this topic. I have a huge problem with finding jeans that fit me right because I have sizable quads and glutes. I've found that American Eagle brand jeans in the loose fit will fit me as long as I go up about 2 sizes in the waist. Normally I measure in at 32 waist but my jeans are all 34's and 36's. I think a belt isn't all that expensive, so problem solved on the bigger jeans. :)

Tami, I'm right withya' on that business! What shall we call it?

Motif: Jeans for bodybuilders around their peak near competition time..lol.

Hmm...this'll be a good thing! $$

static- i shop at AE all the time but never thought about gettin their jeans, good thinkin!

Lets all chip in what we have and get this clothing line going! Who's in?

can we make shirts too? I'd like at least one brand to not make shirts based off of a square pattern.

Maybe we can get some stuff that actually fits

I totally agree allan...I find very few shirts that I love...I like the super soft material...obey, some affliction, monarchy, etc...I like the fit of a medium, but some times they are a tad tight in the chest n shoulders, and If I go with a large it hangs past my knees...

Jer, same.

Medium due to the waist, large would fit the shoulders....either way you have something not fitting right.

I tried the whole tailored dress shirt thing from Men's Warehouse. Granted the shirts fit better than anything has before, but it's still baggy around my waist. Got the fitted kind and all. They told me they couldn't make it fit me perfectly because to bring it in on the sides and waist they would have to change the seam starting in the armpit.

Because of the way the shirts are made, that would make it insanely tight on my shoulders. So unless you have clothes specifically made for you (not via the standard guy's template), there is only so far a tailor can go

I tried monarchy's medium, I feel like I lose all circulation from my arms down with them.

Eeeeww..tapered jeans. My guy just sports the loose fit Levis. Otherwise any jean in a larger size then having to get the waist tailored and taken in.

Say no to the taper Sean...Say it isn't soooo!!! LOL
Loose fit almost tool trade jeans by Levi's work or even the relaxed fit work too....

We could call the company Competition Blues!

Haha, sounds like a good idea.

The Buckle has a great selection for most body types. I have to get mine there for the same reasons....bigger thighs....smaller waist.
But for the record....I'm glad we have to shop a little harder or get clothes tailored....its totally worth it ...who wants to be shaped like a pencil anyway?! :)

RA,

Just got back from the mall and online. Picked up a pair of Ed Hardy, and Mark E. Had to go to a 38 waist and then bring in the tailor. Lots of alterations, but in 7 days when I get them back I'm all good.
Went to THE BUCKLE, ordered the BKE brand, can't wait for those.

Thanks again everyone. :)

Anyone know of any stores that would be more nation wide, I've never heard of the buckle here in NH
