We have all see the threads....."Im so huge that I cant find pants that fit" threads... Turns out they are trying to wear teen appropriate skinny jeans.
For those of us that do train legs and stay reasonably lean, there is a real problem. Even with baggy and "loose" fit jeans, finding jeans that come close to fitting is a problem.
As one leans out, it becomes almost silly and there is little out there that works.
Solutions are to find a "loose" fit jean and buy the waist 4-6" oversize to give the hips and thighs room and wear a belt. This almost works in a "bulked" state, but when the waist really drops upon leaning out, it looks silly.
I am not the biggest guy in the world, but as I lean out, my waist drops to 30-31" range and I have 40" hips with 25" thighs. Trying to get into a 33 makes the thighs so tight, I cant even bend over. So I just stick with 36" and wear a belt. I dont even need to unbutton to remove them. With the belt, they fall right off.
Well I have found the best solution so far. Levi 541 "athletic cut" jeans. More room cut into hips and thigh area. They also have 1% spandex which allows you to squat down in them even where they are tight. It is only 1% spandex and you cant "see" it or feel it at all.
I still had to go up in waist size for my thighs. (I ordered a 33"). If they were cut perfectly, I could probably get away with a 30-31...but I still need the extra room. But I am leaned out pretty good right now. In my "offseason" mode, I would imagine the 33's will work nice with maybe just a small amount of tightness through the thighs.
Cant say enough good things about them. I have not fit into a pair of jeans and was not way oversized or was uncomfortable to wear for over 5 years.
