Seeking 28’ 30’ athletic fit jeans

[Jean Seeker]

The title really says it all.

As a guy who has an athletic build and a waist of 28’ I’m really struggling to find a pair of (non skinny fit) jeans.

A year or so ago I did have a pair of what were supposed to have been Levis (in that size) but I’m sure they weren’t as they had a black label and a blue tab. That said they did fit really well and lasted well also.

I’m UK based and have a 30’ inside leg.

Any advice would be appreciated as this search is driving me crazy.

Levi 502. They will settle after a few washing cycles, just be mindful of the temperature.

I take a 28/30 and feel much better I am not the only with difficulties. Brands I have found that fit me are levis 512, 511 made and crafted (thats the one with black patch and blue tag) and lee 101 riders. However I find myself turning away from slim tapered fits to just slim fits.

Lee riders are my holy grail as they are 10" thigh and 6.5" bottom hem. I am however not athletically built.
