Arrrrrgghhhhhhhh!!!!!

I detest, hate, loathe, abhor, abominate, execrate and despise shopping for jeans.

Nothing bloody fits!

32" waist 27"+ thighs. "Loose" fit isn't. I dread to think what skinny fit is like. Even trying on a 36" doesn't work. And those I did manage to pull over my glutes didn't leave any space for anything and left enough space in the waist for another person.

**** you fashion. :mad:

Broseph, I have been rolling the 38s for nearly a year now: six inches spare at the waist and tight around the thighs... no such thing as loose fit anymore.

I've heard GAP are okay? Not tested for years though.

Best loose fitting jeans I've had are when I used to skateboard

depends if you can justify £50+ though!

Freefaller · 31 Jan 2015 at 16:48

I don't want a big gap at the waist. Hate it.

Freefaller · 31 Jan 2015 at 16:49

I don't want such a big gap in my waist. Hate it. **** this.

Just go here, they're great, even better if you know someone to measure, although using the guide I was pretty close.

I meant the store GAP

I give up with jeans too, it's why I only have like 4 pairs, everytime I try and buy more I get frustrated. Either don't fit the legs, or do but have no shape anywhere and just look baggy.

36/38" waist is what I usually have luck with

Phantom Shadow · 31 Jan 2015 at 18:10

And I thought I had problems with a 40" waist and 27" thighs.

Oddly enough my current jeans are the only ones that have fitted reasonably with only a small gap at the waist and they're a 38".

grudas · 31 Jan 2015 at 18:12

worst thing is finding a belt that does the job.. :| after standing up your jeans are so high up your quads you need to pull them down! stupidly annoying, and that's with straight fit jeans! no idea what slim would be.. never mind skinny lol.

Freefaller · 31 Jan 2015 at 18:58

Thing is. I could buy 36" waist and get them tailored but I shouldn't have to do that. It just winds me up that it's all slim or skinny fit. And even loose and regular fit is far from it.

Mr.Stu · 31 Jan 2015 at 18:59

Can't blame the manufacturers catering for the mass public!

1 in 10000 people probably have your waist to leg ratio FF!

Glaucus · 31 Jan 2015 at 19:00

and why tailor when you can get made to measure.

Somnambulist · 31 Jan 2015 at 19:02

There are a few brands who are making jeans for people with lifter/cyclist quads. Most of them are US based though and the cuts tend to be straight (has to be tapered for dat strong silhouette).

FrenchTart · 31 Jan 2015 at 19:04

You guys are your having any LBM

Tight around my quads but I've recently bought new jeans and 30" waist seemed totes propes. Still need a belt for the waist bit and tbh I do agree about the annoyingness of clothes shopping now. I never liked it before but now it's even more frustrating as all sizes seemed to be based on the size of your stomach more than anything else. My stomach is pretty small these days but the rest of me is larger so you end up having to try on so much stuff to find something that fits.

Try finding jeans when you're a girl that dares to go near weights and then come back and moan. At times it's like you're not meant to have anything more than your femur in your thigh!

Delvis · 31 Jan 2015 at 19:16

People WEAR STRAIGHT leg? Even when I didn't lift I couldn't wear straight!

Skinny fit all the way for you, right?
