    Hi all,
    Wondering if anyone can offer advice. I'm a big chap :) and take a 38" in jeans, trousers etc. Only recently have I learned that the cut of the jeans is as important as the size, which explains why some fit and some most certainly dont.

    What is the correct size or style of jeans to go for when you are one of society's bigger creatures?

    thanks

    I never really regarded a 38" waist as being that big. My brother is regarded as being skinny and he takes a 34. Meh...

    I take a 38 too and I like casual cloths more than other kinds so I buy a lot of stuff in surfing shops etc.
    The brands I go for would be Mecca mainly but also Carhartt, Road, Gsus Sindustries and that kind of thing.

    You would typically pay between 60 and 100 euro for a pair of jeans from the above manufacturers but the majority are around 75 euro.

    It shouldn't really matter about your waist size as all jeans will be modified as the waist size goes up. What I've found is it really depends on your legs and how big your thighs are, if you've quite slim thighs then it won't really matter and a lot of jeans will fit fine as most jeans will be modified to fit as the size goes up.
    You can get loads of loose fitting jeans and cords if you look around, try Tribe, BT2, Gstar, Replay and as was mentioned before theres a load of skate shops / surf shops around that'd do baggier jeans.
