I have difficulty shopping for pants. I'm a 38 waist 34 inseam. That's pretty big, but not enormous. The problem is that I have tree trunk legs. I hate having anything near tight as far as pants go. Heck, I can't even wear boxers 'cause they're too tight around the leg. If I buy them so that they fit my legs, I have like 6" of slack around my waist. I can't just buy and return boxers till I find some that fit. :confused: I don't exactly keep up with the fashion trends, but it seems that tighter jeans are coming into style now. 'Loose' or 'Relaxed' fit isn't really loose or relaxed enough. Where can I get really baggy pants?

Cliff notes:
I'm fat
I need pants the size of parachutes
Please advise

Anchorblue sells "Ultra Baggy" or whatever they're called. Those urban brands like Fubu, Mecca, Sean John also have super baggy pants for those ghetto thugs.

What brands and styles have you tried? For the longest time, I couldn't wear jeans at all, and I still can't wear most brands. Then "baggy" came into fashion and I can wear Levis 560s. (Even if "baggy" is often a codeword for "snug in the thighs, but actually *can* be put on."

Believe it or not, another brand I can wear is women's jeans from the Gap. That's not as bizarre as you might think; women have proportionately longer legs and they actually have hips, whereas the men's fashion industry is determined to design everything to fit Mister Potatohead (a shapeless blob with stubby, toothpick-sized arms and legs). They are a little higher-waisted, though, so, as always, try before you buy.

HAHAHAHAHA, I'll bet you're just a pasty faced, out of shape little . . . OH, WAIT, that was YOU owning Nik in that pic where it was a toss up which was more impressive, your set-up or your, errrr, set-up! (Runs away and hides). :eek: :shocked: :laugh:

Yeah, some of the Levi's styles these days are pretty baggy. Just go to Sears or Penney's and try on all their styles.
