Trousers for big legs

Guest2 · 4 Aug 2015 at 09:54

Are trousers sold that have more room in the leg (thigh) area? I usually wear 32/32 trousers for work but whenever I start training legs again they get really tight to the point I cant get my wallet in my pocket.

I tried 34/32 last year but they ended up being too baggy on the waist and ass. My housemate a few years ago (a body builder) has specially made work trousers and wore baggy jeans when out of work. Mine are not that big so casual jeans are fine (my skinny jean I thew out because they were ridiculous and couldn't even fit over my calves)

This is exactly the issue I am having. Last year I could find trousers no problem. This year everything is tight on the thigh, and I've not really changed in size.

I heard Chris Hoy was starting a company to make trousers for the larger legged gentleman!

What shops have you tried? Generally places that cater for the younger crowd will have a tighter fit as that's the style atm, have you tried M&S?

Mark another one up to having this problem, 34 waist but the legs are just too tight!

Worst "I dont skip leg day" thread ever!

Just joking bud. My friend (bodybuilder) has the same issue, and he gets his trousers tailored for him. Luckily he has his own gym, so track suit bottoms are his work attire.

This thread has reminded me of the Geordie Jeans advert in Shooting Stars

buy the bigger waist and get them taken in? Normally only costs around £10 to get the waist altered

I've given up now, just order the size up and wear a belt. It's too much hassle having to squeeze into everything.

You end up looking like a hobo then though

I think im just going to have to get 34" waist. Its not nice sitting down and trousers being skin tight on your legs and ball crushing

It isn't that bad really, it's only a size up and most stuff still fits the legs. It's that or have everything so tight around the thighs I look like I'm wearing skinny jeans.

Just skip leg days like this fella.

MC Hammer has this covered back in the 80's !

^ If I could wear that at work, I would (some of the women's summer dresses actually do look like that!)

To be fair, my legs are pretty large and they still look kind of like that in skinny jeans...

How the how do you bend down without splitting your jeans

I have been and bought some trousers today, still 32/32 but they have a lot more room in the leg.

I think the ones I bought before from next were just 'slim fitting' or something - basically for people with no legs and who like having crushed testicles (or have none)

M&S 'luxury' ones are much better (allbeit £35 more expensive)
