Are my jeans too tight

So I fell for the Rich and Skinny spam.... But for $40 I figured they couldn't be that bad. I bought the "chill" fit, because it was the one they had in my size, and it said it was for people with big legs. I got it in the lower end of my size (I either wear 33 or 34) figuring that might cancel out any extra baginess. But they got here today and are wayyy tighter than I expected. Do you guys think they're too tight? I'm a big guy, and I don't want that stuffed sausage look you sometimes see. Any chance they're likely to stretch? Uploaded with ImageShack.us Uploaded with ImageShack.us Uploaded with ImageShack.us I'm most concerned with the third picture, where it looks like my thighs are a little too tight and my butt is being accentuated.

No offense but if you wear a 33 or 34 for jeans, maybe skinny jeans are NOT the route you should go for. If you want to look nice, try slim straights. Skinny jeans is for skinny people. Also you have big legs, so why the hell would you go for skinny?

Figured the relaxed cut would be... relaxed. It specifically said it was roomier in the butt and thighs. Judging from the pictures here they don't look skinny to me.

Ah well, live and learn I guess.

Can't tell if they're too tight... but they're too long.

I'll take some better ones... the mirrors in my apartment are positioned so that it's hard to get a good angle. For some reason I really bowed my back in the side pic, accentuating my gut (and plus the billowy white undershirt doesnt help much). But excuses are like assholes... everyone has one and they all stink. And yeah, they need to be hemmed, but I figured I'd see if they were even worth it in the first place.

Too tight?

Not tight enough. Need to size down 2-3 sizes more.

Asheric it's tough to tell from the pics but those look fine. Where are they way too tight? That is a relaxed fit, not skinny at al, and they are also stretch material. They should work just fine for a guy with your build. Maybe you are just accustomed to much looser jeans.

They look about right from what I can tell. My instinct says go slimmer even, but that's my taste.
