Anyone have jeans they recommend? I wear a 44x34 generally, but that can slightly differ up or down a size depending on brands. I have carhartts, but need a new pair of everyday jeans, and honestly don't care for the Carhartt jean style.

I went shopping the other day, and it seems the entire world has converted to skinny jeans. I don't want skinny jeans, weird colored jeans, no bedazzled jeans, and please have a more ample inseam, then these new jeans have. Is it just me, or are these new mens jeans targeted for Japanese school girls or us? Where's the goddamn Inseam? please Provide enough room to accommodation my junk.

So whats a nice affordable pair of jeans, that come in big and tall sizes, are not skinny, jeans, and provides ample inseam room.

Levi's are generally pretty workable.

They offer a nice variety of washes and fits to cater most sizes.

Try the relaxed fit (if you have large legs) or the 501 standard (runs a little slimmer).

I'm not a big and tall section guy, standing 6'1 weighing in at approximately 195 lbs. Again the only thing i can relate to on here is shoes. Depending on the shoe brand i wear either a 13 or 14 and my feet are pretty wide too so i've learned that when the time comes for new shoes i'd better be ready to go on a hunt. So thank you to whoever posted that shoe site.

I usually have to get regular pants tailored.

I have a size 38 waist, but its always too tight at my calves and sometimes thighs. I have horselegs.

Some countries its a pain in the ass to find big sizes, such as France, where a french XXL is the same as a euro XL or a us L. Plus most stores in France don't carry over french XL.

Go to some "hood" stores, they have a lot of trash but sometimes you can find really nice clothes for next to nothing.

geez la weez ya fuckin ogre's.

lol just messin with ya big guys.

im just over a 6' 170lbs and im soooooooo glad i dont have to stress over clothes and shoe sizes.

It's a small mans world and every now and then i run into an issue where i dont fit somewhere. So i can see how aggrevating it could be for someone with some real size to them.

The biggest thing is shoes and pants. Most stores don't carry shoes above US 12.5.

Pants.... actual waist is 33-34 but I can't stand wearing any less than a 36 or 38 because otherwise they crush my groin and thigh.

For years I've been buying pants with the waist too big then cinching them with a belt just to have hip movement and room in the groin.

Judging by this thread this seems to be a common work around.

If you have a Nordstroms or preferably a Nordstrom Rack(all the discounted last season clothes, but they have a good selection of 13-18 shoes). Nordstrom can pretty much get you any shoe you could want, and they usually have them in stock, if not they will get them in for you. These are generally expensive as hell, which I hate shopping in general, so I have a hard time dropping a few hundred on Shoes.

The Rack, is just a mini Nordstrom where all the yentas run around trying to grab clearance priced designer clothing. The back Wall should have a size 13-14 section, then right next a 15+. That section is a mix of random sized 15-20 shoes. Anything from cowboy boots to nikes, to crocodilia skin loafers. I just bought a really nice pair of italian loafers. size 17, made of premium buffalo leather. original
price was $899, I bought them for 74$.

If you have a nike outlet then you have your shoe store. They have an entire wall dedicated to big shoe sizes. Now once you wad through some of those fugly BB shoes, you generally have a nice selection.
