Jeans for the stockier fellow

[Che]

I've been waiting all year for these to come back to TSC. They seem to wear really well, don't shrink as much as Rustlers do. Nice heavy (but soft) denim. They have a diamond shaped gusset in the crotch area where the seams meet. They seem to only be available in the winter months though so I'm stocking up.

Must be a 'stocky/shorter' guy thing as their sizes are very limited. I started buying them for my son as he'd 'blow out' a new pair of jeans within a few weeks.


(I buy them, Mike wears them)

I have great luck with the Schmitd brand clothing.

I abuse clothes terribly and I have'nt been able to find anything that wears as well for the $$

They don't list my size --34-30 .If my damned legs would have grown I'd have been 6 foot 4 judging by the length of my torso . As it is the pants are always too long ,the shirts too short .

If I pull my britchs up where they don't drag the floor my voice tends to go up an octave or two .

Either Carhartt "Double Front" Loggers... or Prison Blues "Double Knee"...

I wish I needed jeans right now, those look pretty good and they have my size. But I've been wearing Dickies brand from Wally World for years and I currently have about 2 dozen pair. Right now with work so slow I'll wear what I got and hopefully you'll remind of this again next year.

Aint got my size either. Anyone who's met me knows I wear the heck outta Carhartt B11's in 40x34's.

Thanks for the heads up Che. I have discovered that I am no longer fat. I'm stocky.

 

[Che]

I still don't see them at our local store....the manager says they come in a separate shipment and they don't know when. If and when they do, I'll see if they have the larger & longer sizes.

Carl, you need to stop by your local Goodwill store....I've seen lots of 40 x 34 pants here....Mick is about the same width wise, but takes a 32.

Mike...."husky" or "large boned" work well too.

Carl, you need to lose weight. A 40" waist at your height ain't healthy. It's only gonna get worse as you age, NOT better.

 

[lumberjack]

38" waste amigo.

Fixed.

 

[lumberjack]

34"-36" would be nice, but then I'd have to buy new pants!

 

[MasterBlaster]

At 6'2" my goal is 32". I'm at 36, 35 now.

I believe that "portly", is another term of endearment.

Yeah , I don't like that one. Reminds of Wimpy from the Popeye cartoons.

 

[SkwerI]

A couple of my favorites are 'lardass' and 'roly poly'.

Haha...when I was a kid, I had this phonograph record called, "Roly Poly, fatest boy around". My older brother was a fat kid. I'd wait for him to walk into the house from school, then I'd play the record loud. He's usually run over and slug me in the stomach, and I'd start bawling. That must have happened like fifty times.

 

[Che]

You catch on fast, Jay.

[Knotahippie]

I swear by the carhartt's if I'm not wearing shorts.

I kinda' those super light weight canvas ones for mellow days.

Giving out any hair too?

 

[Newfie]

No, but I'm looking for some.
