I'm fully prepared to turn in my mand card....

Sign in to disble this ad
...But I am totally tired of not being able to find jeans that fit well! It seems like every pair I own have copious amounts of extra denim just hanging out where my ass should be! I really don't want to wear my jeans hiked up over my belly button like an old dude, and that's the only way they seem like they actually fit the way they are supposed to. I am a bigger dude... 6'2", and around 250. Do I need special fat-kid jeans or sumthin'???

Anyone have any suggestions of jeans that fit better? I am sick of walking around like I just made a doodie in my pants!

Check out the BigNTall men store. They MAY have the clothes with different cuts. I know when I was looking for pants, since I'm short & stocky, anytime I bought pants that fit my middle, they looked like clown pants in the butt/legs. Then I made my discovery of the "Husky" boys pant size. Fit like a glove with a normal looking cut of the legs.

You could grow a fat ass! Eat more donuts and cook with lard and have one Big Mac a day, should help with filling up those jeans in no time!

I can't find pants that fit either. 31s too tight 32s fall off my ass. Can we start to get pants in half-sizes?

Also, pant manufacturers please note that having a 31-32" waist does not mean that I have a 26" inseam.

Also, you could look into having a tailor take them in.

The problem is yeah I'm a fat kid... but I don't really have a fat arss. So, fat kid jeans expect to cup a fat-kid arss, and I just don't have one of them. It's all beer belly, pretty much.

I just don't see the point in taking a sub-$30 pair of khakis in fro alterations.

Hank Hill syndrome? Have you considered a prosthesis?

HA! That is the opposite of my problem. I have exceptionally short legs, I have never found a pair of pants that fit without having them shortened by at least 4 inches. Lucky jeans have a "short" length and even that is too long for me.

Im tall and got the belly too. I'm a hardcore Levi's boot cut guy.

But due too my fatness i gave up on jeans awhile ago. i wear sweat pants, the starter brand name seems to be my favorite, i get them at target.

Otherwise i wanted some jeans and had some luck with a brand name called mossimo. They were comfortable but yah i think they had the funny butt syndrome too. Not like a doo doo in the pants funny like you say, they just made my booty look huge and weird.
i think its more me , being self conscience and the mossimo jeans might work for you, and not have a saggy butt.

I think its the more fake stretchy denim that would work better, real denim is too saggy unless you got the body.

Maybe wranglers would work too , all the fat cowboys wear em

Try the Levi's 514. They're the Slim Fit jeans, so they hug the butt nicely, but aren't "Skinny" jeans either, so you can wear them over boots or gym shoes - plenty of ankle width, you legs won't look like pencils. You need something with a low-rise front, so search for that if the 514's dont work out.

If you don't want to pay full Levi's price, try JC Penny or Kohls, they carry them for about $20 less than at the Levi's store or online.

A nice pair of slimming jeans can really make an impact on your entire appearance. A common mistake bigger guys make is wearing too baggy of jeans. They'll just make you look fatter or saggy in the butt and chicks will think you don't know how to dress.

(Yes, I used to work in the demin section of a retail store for men)

Listen to this guy. Go to a jeans store and spend money on good jeans. I just bought my first pair of designer jeans and I am shocked at how much better they fit. Worth the extra $60 IMO.

So, what you're asking us is, "Do these jeans make my butt look small"?
