Non-skinny/elasticated jeans (Men)

    I need to buy multiple pairs of jeans as the multiple pairs I bought last time are wearing out.

    Everything in the shops I'd usually buy in is elastane and skinny at some point - the least skinny ones hug my calves in a rather disturbing manner. Some of the shops I buy other clothes in don't go near my size - 38/34 (but do for other items - do they think larger guys go around like Donald Duck?

    I don't, won't and never had the body for skinny jeans hence I haven't bought anything for about 6 years. I also refuse to show my ankle off unless I'm wearing shorts, which removes another block of options.

    I'm willing to spend a reasonable enough amount on them and would prefer not to be going to Penneys or Dunnes if at all possible. Any suggestions?

    Try Next - I got a pair of the "loose" style jeans, very comfortable fitting, they go quite long too though I prefer them a little shorter so you don't get too much gathering on the shoe.

    Only about €40 as well.

    If you're ever near Kildare Village they have a Levi's outlet that's usually pretty good! They often have offers on if you're buying more than one pair.

    Tommy Hilfiger also worth a look as well, they have good classic fits in the Tommy Hilfiger range (not Tommy Jeans range). Bit on the spendy side however!

    S.Oliver do your sizes and the type of fit you are looking for. I don't know if they are available outside independent shops in Ireland.

    Got these today - as you experienced they are extremely long. Actually had to buy the R leg length despite (according to some random website that could be bollox) in the top percentile for height in the UK which they're designing for and needing L basically everywhere else.

    Were €53, only pair in the shop of that size and I had to go to a bigger Next to find any that big (Blanch vs. Liffey Valley). May order some more online.

    Will keep the other suggestions in mind, I'm usually somewhere in Central Europe once or twice a year and s.Oliver is commonly found there anyway

    They're cheaper online as they don't come with an unwanted not-actually-free belt. Wahey. Some colours are significantly cheaper.
