No, not even close, which is good because the Sf uniform fits you.

For the sake of curiosity, what is considered "big thighs" for someone with that weight/height?

It's not like there's rule on this stuff set in stone. However, I'd think something like a 26 thigh with a 30-31 waist is what I'd consider big thigh at that height/weight. 23 to 25 being fairly muscular. This is all relative though, someone else could just as easily consider a different set of values to be completely different.

I'm 5'7", 30 waist, and 21 thighs. I think my thighs look a little thin.

I think I rule in messed up proportions. I'm 5'4, 28 waist, and 23 thighs. The only reason I wear a belt is to tuck in the extra fabric around the waist, but without a belt, my thighs keep them up.

Anyways, I think you can still sport slimmer cuts. Those relaxed cuts make guys with bigger thighs look boxy imo.

I'm 5 ft 5 with 22-23 inch thighs and 29 inch waist.
I would consider that a decent size for my height.

I have tried the taper route but I like the non-slim fit (regular fit) better. I think it balanced out my thighs.

5'8" 175 lb. 34" where I wear my pants, 26" thighs. It took awhile to find decent jeans, but they're out there.

I've got a small torso compared to my legs, so my thighs are slightly thunderous.

6'1" 160 lbs, 32" waist, 22" thighs

But I look fine in tapered shiz like APC cures and Chimala's slim/straight
