6' 6", 220 pounds, 26" inch thighs. I mostly stick to straight leg stuff but love me my SExIH03s (relaxed upper with tapered leg)

5'10" 175 - 34" waist and 24" thighs last time I measured. I gained 7 pounds over the last 2 months while racking up more miles on my bike. I think the extra 7 went to my thighs ... so I should remeasure. And my size 30 rescues feel like the thighs are going to pop when I go up steps. And I can barely get the hem over my calfs.

I felt the same way about my 31 Rescues until they stretched out after a few months. They fit, not so great, because of all the ass stretching though compared to the still pretty tight thigh. I finally found a 34 Samurai S5000 that I picked up at Americaya after extensive jean testing and help; soaked and expanded perfectly to fit me.

My biggest problem is that while jeans fit perfectly around the thighs, I have a crazy amount of fabric flapping around on the waist. It's pretty bad cause if I want it snug around the waist, I'd have to size down, but then that means my thighs wouldn't even fit.

what about buying the size that fits your thighs then hemming it down to your true waist?

I asked that here a while back.

Apparently hemming the waist on jeans messes up the jeans.

I'm 5'11" with a 40" chest, 32" waist and my thigh measurement has gone from 23" to 24.5" in the past few months, presumably from running 4-5 days a week. It got to the point a few weeks ago where I quit all my lower body weight training so as not to exceed my pants any further.

I think I'm borderline on not pulling off skinny jeans unless I lose some quad muscle.

Im actually 6'2 240 and my thighs measure 27.5 inches with a 35 inch waist and 47 inch chest. Not ideal for designer denim, trousers or suits. Most people that I know think my legs are big but thats what you get when your workouts are squats, deadlifts, and bench. My APC Rescues are like second skin and hardly get worn.

I am big by most standards and huge by forum standards, definitely overweight. My thighs are 29 inches.
