    Tapered Chinos for Bigger Thighs?

    Ah, I see. Well, I wear a 9/9.5d in Allen Edmonds if that's helpful. 5'10.5" and 170lbs. I tend to like the look of smaller leg openings for whatever reason.

    Tapered Chinos for Bigger Thighs?

    The circumfrence of my calves are only about 15"-15.25". I have some pants with a 8" opening that are alright, but I probably would wanna stay between 8"-8.5". I think the 40" butt is the larger issue. As an additional side question, I notice that when I sit down my pants always cinch up...

    Tapered Chinos for Bigger Thighs?

    This has been my experience with J Crew pants as well. Before weightlifting, the urban slim fit looked great. Now, the urban fit and to a lesser degree the classic cut give me "diaper ass". The pants look good in my thighs and rest of my leg, but something about how the butt is cut makes my...

    Tapered Chinos for Bigger Thighs?

    Is there any way to find Epaulet pants for sale or a bit cheaper? $200 is slightly out of my price range (23 yr old recently out of college). Could definitely do closer to like $100 a pair...

    Tapered Chinos for Bigger Thighs?

    I really appreciate the replies. I do not have particularly large feet, so a smaller leg opening is not really an issue. And Doc, I do agree that there is a danger of having an ice cream cone shape, which I would like to avoid. At the same time, relaxed fits usually make me look boxy. I...

    Tapered Chinos for Bigger Thighs?

    I did a search for this topic but wasn't able to find much specific information or recommendations. Due to squatting and working out, I have developed a bit larger thighs over time. Specifically, I measure a 33" waist with 22.5" mid thigh and 25.5" upper thigh. Additionally, I have a pretty...

    A.P.C. The official thread for APC denim sizing and other questions.

    Just kind of a simple question regarding the APC New Standard: I went ahead and tried these jeans on today in a 31 and 32. I was unable to button the 31s and the 32s were pretty snug when I did em up, but I could insert a finger or two in the waist. If I had sucked in my gut and really went...

    I have a jean...(The Ultimate Jean Thread For Beginners) - ask questions here.

    Yes, I did in fact google what you recommended and compared the N&F jeans to my own measurements. I drew the conclusion that although they would fit decently well, I believe the rise is not large enough to accomodate my seat area. I fully understand what you are saying and am not trying to be...

    I have a jean...(The Ultimate Jean Thread For Beginners) - ask questions here.

    I really appreciate you taking the time to respond to my question. I just measured my Levi 514s (I've had these jeans for 2+ years and washed tons of times): Waist: 17" Crotch-leg: 12" Mid-Thigh (2 or so inches below crotch): 10.5" Knee: 8.5" Leg Opening: 8" The pants fit perfectly fine...

    I really appreciate you taking the time to respond to my question. I just measured my Levi 514s (I've had these jeans for 2+ years and washed tons of times): Waist: 17" Rise: 10.5" (measured front of pants. back is more cause my big ol' butt stretched it) Hips: 22.5" Thigh (2 or so inches...

    I have a jean...(The Ultimate Jean Thread For Beginners) - ask questions here.

    Been doing some research to answer my own question and have narrowed down choices a bit (although other suggestions welcome). It seems that: KMW 1950/2010, APC Rescues/New Standards, 5EP Straight Zip, and Nudie Straight Svens are commonly recommended. Considering my measurements and want for...

    I have a jean...(The Ultimate Jean Thread For Beginners) - ask questions here.

    I am looking to make the jump from Levi's to a nice pair of Raw Denim. I currently wear 514s which are a slim-straight cut, but are honestly starting to get rather uncomfortable as I grow more from weight lifting. I had a bigger butt to begin with and squats have kinda put me over the top...
