So, I got the wrangler 936s in a 40 waist, which was definitely too big in the waist but great every where else. So, I ordered em in a 38 waist and they're a bit small in the waist and too tight on the knees. I dunno if I should just get the 40s and shrink em down or what. The 40s also sit substantially higher up on the waist, which is fine except they don't work with the belts I've got. Keep in mind denim will blow out a half size over time.

Shouldn't the knees stretch out a bit? I mean, not a ton, but maybe enough to become more comfortable?
EDIT -- cody beat me to it. even if they do shrink up a bit, it'll stretch back out quickly. just do a few squats in them before wearing them out anywhere.

Word up, thanks fellas. Pants are always tough because my extra weight all gathers in one section, I have no ass, but my thighs and calves are bigger from when I was lifting (and since I’m getting back into that, prolly not gonna get smaller).

yeah it's tricky. I bought some expensive ass jeans last summer that were a little too tight in the waist but I was like fuck it, they'll stretch. and then I gained like 20 pounds and fucked it all up anyway.

There are definitely some brands that specifically make big butt/thigh cuts for people who lift. They escape me at the moment, but I think the Atlas cut from Left Field is something along those lines.
Narc -- have you tried Grailed? I imagine that jeans on either side of the size spectrum would have a hard time finding buyers, so you might be able to grab a better deal.

Also skip the slim fit and get the 47mwz or 13mwz.

13mwz is the regular cowboy cut, 47mwz is slightly updated with deeper pockets and a few tweaks to the fit. The nice thing about wranglers is their sizing is consistent, unlike Levi’s.
Bootcut rustlers are pretty much the same thing but a heavier denim and a less tapered leg opening.

There’s also a relaxed fit cowboy cut that might work for you too.

I tried the 13mwz in the store and they were loose in da ass but maybe a slimmer waist would work. My gf’s gotta return a belt so I’ll be over there anyhow.

Any recommendations on some decent rugby style shirts? I feel like switching it up.

Canterbury of New Zealand, Ralph Lauren, and Rowing Blazers for the more obvious starting places to look.
I own a Lands End rugby that has a nice jersey weight and is great quality for the price point.
I’ve always liked the look of the vintage United Colors of Benetton rugbys as well.

J Crew always has a few, probably more when they start putting spring stuff out. You could potentially try one on in-store too but the men's selection in their physical locations ain't great

idk, J Crew sells some big ass pants now so I would bet they’re purposefully adjusting the fits to occupy distinct spaces in the product line. they literally have a fit called “giant fit” now which seems unthinkable for 10 years ago. I wouldn’t be surprised if the vanity sizing is being reigned in either

Recently snagged a pair of TCB 505s on Grailed and they’re great. I wasn’t sure how I felt at first, but the weight is a good contrast to my 18oz Momotaro. All the details are great too. Might be a good option for all the big butt/big thigh deadlifters out there.
On a related note, these mid/high rise jeans made me realize I need another notch on my belt. Does anyone know if a tailor can get that done, or do I need to find someone who specifically works with leather?
