I hate to gay things up but I can't find pants that fit.
I went from 185 to 205 a couple years ago and a lot of that was in my ass and legs and now shopping is even more fucking irritating. I've been googling this shit but you're all a bunch of manly and burly dudes so I want some input from you.
And no this is not an excuse to inbox me dick pics. Save those for Shape.

I had this exact thread a number of years ago at P&B and caught all kinds of shit for it.
Luckily I just wear scrubs now at work and don't really need to buy pants anymore other than occasional jeans and then I go with Levi's 560s. It's been awhile since I bought jeans, so I don't even know if they still make them anymore.
Dress pants are a pain in the ass and I would usually have to buy 1 or 2 sizes bigger to fit my ass and legs, but then the waist would be loose. I even have this problem with shorts unless they are athletic shorts.

Seem to tailor their jeans towards those with "athletic" physiques. But it does have the stink of @ssfit about it though.

It starts with spending $149 on a pair of jeans, it ends with drinking Zima, huffing amyl poppers and hanging out in bath houses.

I relate. Finding 31" Waist and 34" Length is miserable.

Does it still flow to the natural conclusion if you progress in the opposite direction?

Well shit GBM we should have known about this situation sooner. Put on some tight fitting underwear and have someone take a few pics of you from various angles doing goblet squats and lunges...also various yoga stretches. Post them on here and we can give you some better advice on this "pants" issue. We're all adults here and we'll be thoughtful in our suggestions.

I went to both Bloomingdales looking for the Jacob Davis straight leg jeans in the link, and struck out.
Thank you all for the suggestions. It seems Levi's 560s have been discontinued. But you know, fuck Levi's, since they shipped production overseas the quality has gone way down.
Maybe I should have mentioned that I'm a J Crew/Banana Republic kind of guy. I guess I didn't mention it because that would have really taken this in a faggy direction.
Speaking of which, no Shape I'm sorry but there will not be any underwear pics.

StrangeFist approval is an excellent choice if you're about to make a movie with Jamie Lewis.

Come on, he's now 205 which, according to the CDC is nearly 9 entire pounds heavier than the
average American male.

I looked online. They still sell Levis 560s here. I'm on the east coast about an hour north of Philly. Where are you? Kohl's, JC Penney, Macy's and Sears all carry them here.

Fuck it....go to Wal-mart and pick up a pair of $20 wranglers. Jeans are fucking jeans. They've got a million size selections except the really large ones are usually sold out. You'll just have to make the trip to the suburbs.

Just get whatever fits your legs and then take them to a tailor to have the waist adjusted.
