I’m going to be 38 next friday, does that make me just above the average STW age? Jeans have always been a difficult purchase for me, 32 inch waist, but large calves and thighs, my bum is far from tiny either. My jeans are currently **** as they fit me pretty well, but are not too current style wise. At 14.5 stone I’m not about to wear skinny jeans, although most jeans are skinny on me.

Any suggestions from the larger legged gents out there.

DD to the forum please.

No jeans – you are too old. Who do you think you are? clarkson?

You’re 38? Honestly mate, any jeans will do. It just doesn’t matter any more.

32″ waist @ 14.5 stone?

Get yourself to George at Asda – they will do something to fit your more mature frame.

Howies

Thanks for the generous replies, I’m pretty young looking for my age. KINGTUT, the numbers are correct, six pack too.

FWIW – I just got some jeans from Next (32” waist, 30” leg). They fit fine and look okay. But I only got them because they were dead cheap in the sale and are used for crawling around the floor with the kids and being constantly washed due to the constant food/snot being wiped on them (by the kids, not me).

I am 43 and around 12st.

GAP always seem to do well-fitting trousers in my experience – better quality than most and a more generous fit. (Currently wearing a pair of combat-style (ie with thigh pockets, NOT camo pattern). Again bought in the sales.

DD to the forum please.

(I was re-reading that thread the other day – quite the giggle it was)

Levis and G-Star do excellent ranges of fits.

And there’s nothing wrong with skinny jeans.

EDIT: Jeans, from NEXT?? 😯

Ahem – what is wrong with the George Brand?

😉

I’m not expecting to be fashionable, but I don’t want to look like Elbry or Clarkson either.

Yarp – I ain’t paying £60+ for jeans. The ones I wear all cost me around £15/£20.

Come on, this is meant to be a cycling site, surely one of you has big legs and wears jeans?!

Don’t you think there’s just something achingly sad about buying clothes in a shop that does its own brand tomato ketchup?

OP, what’s your budget?

Jeebus Captain, no frickin chance would I wear those. The skinny kids may get away with it, but lord above some people need to take a look at themselves!

Don’t you think there’s just something achingly sad about buying clothes in a shop that does its own brand tomato ketchup?

get a nice pair of Edwin, Evisu or Nudie Selvedge.

Max price around £80.

<splutter!!>

OP: G-Star baggy jeans, for fat arses and thick legs.

Plenty on here have big legs as they claim to have ‘cycling’ legs, in actual fact it just fat.

I’ve worn some G-star in the past which were quite nice, but probably a little more ‘young’ than I’m feeling at the moment.

Max price around £80.

If you have access to a shop selling G-Star, then get yourself in there then – and then go and buy them from ASOS 8)

I’m similar, 32 waist but big thighs, Pierre Cardin jeans are great, picked up a couple of pairs recently in TK MAxx at £25 each

I’m just big boned, honest! 😀

Nah, there bikes are great too, I love ChAvSDA!

Lee jeans are cheap and good.

In budget too.

Thanks people, a few to look into there

Edwins here, major shrinkage on first wash though.

EDIT: oh and 42 on Friday – btw.

Lee Cooper, or try TJ HUGHES all the stuff is being sold off due to their liquidation.

Do the Chuck Norris jeans have elasticated waist? Don’t think I’m quite there yet, well I hope not anyway.
