STW fashion parade..
No offence lads, just a funny photo..
Hahahaa
if it helps then i'd recommend getting down to a 'fatface' store, jeans in a casual style that arent covered in logos, weird pockets and stuff... good straight forward, long lasting and the ones i have provide ample massive leg room
Poor value and they last about 6 months on my experience, I'd avoid. If I'm paying £50 plus I buy Howies.
Cheap (£15) Kangol / Wrangler in Sports Direct stores.
You lot are whack.
I'm wearing my MC Hammer pants right now.
STOP! [s]HAMMERTIME[/s]give me my pants back!

No laughing at the back or I'll pop a cap in yo' ass!!!
Come on, this is meant to be a cycling site, surely one of you has big legs and wears jeans?!
I have exactly the same problem and am a very similar size (14.3st, 32" waist). I had previously had to buy 34" and wear belts just to get the leg space.
Diesel used to make some that fitted nicely (snug) but dont make them anymore. I recently picked up a very nice pair of Boss jeans in the sale which fit me nicely and I have a pair of Lee jeans which are even better. Most "comfort" fits are too tight on the legs for me too. I can find out the names of them if it helps?
Divint forget ya jumpa
I don't think I can stomach the negative geordie stereotyping..
I'm a havta report yo fo shizzle..
Twice today I find myself in agreement with TJ. I'm very disturbed.
Never met the bloke but he sounds like a snappy dresser. Certainly sound on suits and denim for the elderly. Needs a haircut though.
Geordie sofaz full o ferm!
Superdry do some more roomy styles. I struggle for jeans with the current trend for skinny. I would look like a toffee apple 😀
Any bloke over the age of 30 should no more consider wearing skinny jeans than a mini-skirt.
Mind you; you're asking sartorial questions on a forum where grown men consider it acceptable to leave the house dressed in lycra 😀
Edwins, look no further.

Proper man jeans, dark indigo, no stupid bells and whistles, high-ish waist so your ass doesnt hang out the back, perfect for those of us 35+.
I'm 6'3 and 32" waist, biggish-legs, these are the berries.
G-Star for a 38 Year old, have a word! 😯
From you description you need a Tapered Loose fitting jean, Try Nudie / Edwin / Maybe Levis
'Some' helpful comments there gents, so come on then, who among you wear skinny jeans and how old are you?
deadydarcy is about 50something nowadays and he wears skinnies.
his milkshake does indeed bring all the boys to the yard, and its a fine milkshake thats for sure.
Mcboo & Myself have told you everything you need to know...
Check ASOS online, urban Outfitters on high street amongst others!

Yer all jealous of my flowing locks. 50 yrs old no grey no receding hairline. Just a fine manly head of hair.
Snappy dresser as well

They would look fabulous on my thighs and buttocks! What jeggings for a 38 year old? 😀
snappy dresser?
pfft! i now have a monitor/wacom tablet and keyboard covered in coffee.
im bald as a coot. but all the hair in the world isn't going to atone for a red cravat.
there is a big difference between skinny hipster jeans and slim fit.
slim fit can be worn by adults without paunches or fat arses.
That was at a wedding. Anyway - you can't buy style
MrSmith, can they really though? Not from what my eyes tell me!
Anyway - you can't buy style
clearly 😉
im talking about those 'borrowed your sisters jeans' bum huggers with the low crotch drainpipes compared to a slim tapered fit jean on slim people.
Ok I can grudgingly accept that, but only with small feet!

i get away with it as i buy 30in jeans and size 8 shoes. 🙂
Self Portrait? (joke)
Ok so slim fit jeans = Ok.
Skinny jeans = Not Ok.
Skinny Jeans with elastic ankles = Not Ok.
Skinny jeans with elastic ankles and baggy bottom = Not Ok.
Tights (unles winter riding tight then only on a bike) = Ok.
Flared jeans = So Not Ok.
Baggy jeans = Ok.
What about these??

Eclipse jeans are wear it's at.
Just buy whatever you feel comfortable in, who cares what anyone else wears.
I haven't read the whole thread, but I just got myself some Uniqlo Selvedge jeans for about £30 and they are wonderful.
Not skinny or baggy, just right - and very high quality material/construction.

Gone up by £5 now but still an absolute steal.
spliffy jeans from the market, job done.
GTDave, I was specifically asking people of a similar build what jeans were available. I can go into a shop that sells only jeans and with the help of their glamerous assistant come out with zip!
My 3 cents:
Levis.
Always very friendly in my local shop (Glasgow - 3.5 hours away) and students get 20% discount.
Best jeans ever. Last for years and there's a cut to suit each occasion.
501 - chilling with my mates
504 - riding my fixie
512 - pulling birds

😆 Well, despite being 37, nearing 14st, and being fairly tall, my build I guess is radically different. So don't but Next jeans, or Levi's!
@ericemel Howies? I still have some old Howies jeans - they're great. Newer ones seem to have weird sizing. Or maybe I now have. ah!
If Alpkit are making their epic jeans, they're nice.
Levis? Used to love 'em. Now I prefer my old Howies. My 32" waist is long gone though 🙁
Got some Moon 'Gecko' jeans from Snow and Rock. Like you I have trouble getting jeans to fit - waist, 30", thighs, comical - but these fit great and have a flat seamed crotch and a bit of stretch in em too as they are climbing jeans. Nice and dark too. 50 quid or thereabouts. TK Maxx is another place as it's cheap and you can usually find 'odd' sizes, fits in there, if you can be bothered trawling through 'em.
another vote for uniqlo selvedge; i love mine. probably the best jeans i have ever owned, fitting-wise.
i also have a 3 year old pair of howies jeans that are good, no idea about new ones and i don't really think i'll find out.
Speaking as a just-turned 57yo, I have no self respect and so I spurn Jock Wan's well-intentioned advise and wear jeans. However, I avoid spurious logo's, stitching, pockets, buttons, flaps, embroidery, rips, etc, and stick with regular or loose fit, dark blue indigo denim. I've got several old pairs of Oakley jeans, one well-worn pair with a flannel lining which are perfect for winter, several pairs of Howies including a pair of their indigo dyed Tom Proof riding jeans, and a couple of pairs of my new favourite Uniqlo selvedge Japan Denim jeans, which are a brilliant fit and really comfortable. And cheap. Did I say cheap? You do have to watch the size, tho', as others have said. I take a 32x34, but I tried some regular Uniqlo in their London main shop, and couldn't even do the damn things up, so I took a chance and ordered a pair of 34x34 selvedge when they next arrived in the online shop on offer, and they were perfect, in length and waist. And no logos to be seen anywhere, just a small number on a leather waistband patch.
The old Oakley's only had logo rivets, and the Howies only have the little stitching detail on one pocket, which I rather like. I've also got three Uniqlo flannel shirts, in different weights, which are bloody marvellous for the money, really soft and comfy. My new favourite jacket's an Alpha Industries CWU45/P NATO issue pilots jacket, again, not a logo to be seen anywhere, just a Velcro patch on the chest for a name patch. Not even a logo label inside. Really anonymous. It is fireproof though, which might come in handy one day.
Howies are knocking some jeans out for £30 at the moment btw, got a sale email earlier
If you must wear jeans is there anything else but 501s?
Mek or G-Star.
If on a budget, you can find some decent jeans in River Island.
primark is your bezzie mate when it comes to range/styles/sizes/shapes ect bout do find somthing im a 32 waist with big thighs and like it baggy so a 32/34 leg BUT must fit over skate shoes so a boot cut is a lovley fit.
granted im 28 but im more comfort over look/style.
TJ, 501's look like jeggings on me, even going a size up!
Primark!
/closes thread out of disgust.
Alpkit. The baggy ones, not the emo sheaths.
The fox jeans are surprisinglly hard wearing, but the colour washes out of the dark ones.
Bump - just to say thanks to whoever recommended Edwin Jeans, bought the first pair that I tried on! Nice fit and no stupid low rise waist.
