Denim for the larger guy...

[Above The Clouds]

I don't know if there is anybody that can help me but I need to find some descent nice denim. I have know idea where to find my size. I can pull off a 42 waist if the jeans are loose-baggy fitting or a 44 waist. I'm in the process of losing weight but slowly so I'm trying get Jeans to last me for a while. My favorite Jeans I wear are just Levi shrink to fit in a 44/32 I don't wash them I just buy more cause they fit perfect, not to baggy and smaller taperd bottoms so it doesn't hang under my shoes I hate that. If anybody knows of some similar fitting jeans and where I could buy them please let me know.

I'm also interested in Evisu's and Red Monkey (kind of) I just here that they might make up to that size but I've only seen 44 in evisu on Nordstrom.com and it sold within hours of me seeing it.

Red Monkey are they Legit.... from my shoe experience I would say no because of the obvious price gap but take a look and help me out I would appreciate it.....

if you're losin weight, way drop 3 digits on some jeans that won't fit you in a year?

as for the RMC's.. price is too low.. but also the back patch doesn't sit right to me. i've seen a lot of fake RMC's in china, especially those ones that he's sellin in particular. i don't like how he doesn't show the red tag in the back of the jeans or any of the selvedge.. if there is any.

Cause I'm sick of wearing rocawear jeans, sean john crap like that. I gotta pair of Von Dutch jeans and there ok I guess and I love my Levi's, can't go wrong with those, $35 but I just feel like I need some nice jeans to compliment my kicks and other gear properly. I'm getting way into this fashion thing I guess. I don't mind throwing down a little money on some jeans I can just not get a pair of shoes.

i feel the same way bro. im 40-42 so i'm stuck with STFs and wranglers, i got some mavi, seven and diesel but i havent felt those in a bit. Unfortunately all the 'cool" denim brands never go past 36-38...

depends all what u lookin for i guess.

find some brands and see if they make ure size.

.

someone took my niketalk name here.

[wangvicous]

The Baggy Bjorns you could probably find in a size 38 and in my experiance they're at least one size down but other than that just lose the weight.

[greentalks43]

Those red monkey jeans are totally fake. I was just on a site that sells those red monkey jeans for hella cheap.

[mspark]

I also wear 38-40 and Im resigned to not be able to wear most of the fashion brands, even though Id rather spend 200 bux on kicks instead of jeans anyways. I wear 501, 517 and Uniqlo as well, which are rather nice,imo.

[bookem]

quit bitchin , i wear 38's and the only brand i want but cant find is apc

nudie 38's are roomy as fuck for me, so are lee 101's, earnest sewn are a nice fit, so are og evisu's and edwins

just look a little harder

[misskixslf]

oh jeez, keith welcome to ST, apc 38's measure out to 42-43 roughly and will stretch a lot. Thats yur best bet bud

Iron heart jeans do nice selvage and go up to a 42" waist

http://www.ironheart.co.uk

Tenderloin does fantastic denim, selvage, cinchback in indigo or black. It says an XL is 38-40 but I'd say it's a fair bit bigger that before washing, if you dry clean them they'd definitely fit you.

The problem is hey're very expensive compared to US brands, Ironheart are $265 and Tenderloin run slightly more, beautiful jeans though.

ma, lucky titty

[obsessis]

i'd def. go with iron heart if you've got the cash to drop.

[sam113]

Check in to Atelier LaDurance.

They are available up to 42 waist and are totally unique and extremely cool.

Great for bigger dudes.

[hermanos]

[Guest mocazen]

I was wondering what you guys would reccomend for denim, im a big guy , i wear 38, but im not sure what to get, needs to be loose, seems alot of cats on here are rail thin, any help would be appreciated

[Chicken]

i think this has been discussed here few times before. here's one thread that i found:

http://www.superfuture.com/supertalk/showthread.php?t=10673&highlight=larger

i can't really help you from experience because i'm a small guy. but i do seem to see some interesting selvage denim on eBay here and there in your size. have you checked?

[braid]

you probably won't get a lot of answers with such an open ended question. It will take a lot of searching and reading on this forum to find your answers.

That said, I would suggest any of the Levis repro or LVC (Levis' Vintage Line) jeans. Most of these are a bit fuller cut and fit relaxed in the butt. If you want Japanese, look into Sugarcane, possibly the 1947 model. There are many other options but the SC47 is the only one I own that is fuller cut and sounds like it would suit you.

One thing that you MUST KNOW mocazen - is that quality denim STRETCHES like fuck ...

So unless you get unwashed raw true to size 38's - you will most likely be just fine .

Of course there are techniques to make the fit proper , but nothing complicated .

I'm a true 39" waist - with gigantic thighs and almost equally sized up calves ..

no worries ..

What inseam do you take ?

[__3xL]

Though on a sidenote - many jeans are sized up and if they were labeled as 38 waist , and raw unwashed xx type - would shrink to become 38's ..

etc etc ..

Some aren't like Levi's XX

[panikEpenguin]

well, i can't speak in terms of the bigger waist sizes, myself being a 29 and under usually. but still, all i can say is that nothing beats actually trying them on. i always think buying jeans online is risky territory simply because everyone wants a certain fit.

there are alot of things you'll have to clarfiy before you get a decent answer:

what rise are you looking for?

are you ok with anti-fit?

do you care about denim weight?

budget?

list goes on...

by the by, example pics would help. until then, good luck searching; there's like a bajillion pages here.

[watchman]

You need to hire me, because i swear that every sweet pair of vintage Levis or nice LVC i see is a god damn 38. ebay= your friend

[__3xL]

You sure they're not just tagged 38 ? That usually ends up being 35 waist maybe 36 ..

I look out for 38's quite often and dont see THAT many .. unless the inseam is like 25 "

ugh

[mistanorth]

good day all,

im after a bit of advice from the denim experts that you are!

ive just bought a pair of Cheap Mondays Latjo Lajban blue dry which fit really nice but im looking for something slightly wider in the leg, not baggy but not as narrow as the CM's.

Cheers

[likewtfyo]

i'm a size 34 in levis' square cut. any idea if i should size down for nudies slim jim?

[nino]

Im a 38 or 40 waist depending and there are a few japanese companies that make waist sizes that big. Off the top of my head: Samurai, Flathead, Fullcount, Skull,

Denime, Eternal, Warehouse, 45rpm all make a regular/relaxed fit jean in waist sizes 38 or 40. Ive only really researched the japanese brands because thats where my insterest lies but Ive done a fairbit of reserach regarding who makes lare waist sizes and inseams. A couple non japanese jeans I can recommend though are an APC Rescue in size 36(apc sizing is strange and this roughly equals 38), and a Nudie Baggy Bjorn. Ill try and give more specific info if you need it.

[__3xL]

Wait what the fuck .. This isn't the thread I replied to originally yet my replies are here ..

what happened you guys ? Someone playing a joke ?

Pass me the prozac asap

Stop tip you're scaring the hell out of me ...

damn you :-(

hug me now

[pennyoka]

I have a pair of size 36 APC Rescues and they are huuuge now, so if you get a 38 I think they would stretch and fit you. Also, anybody have any recommendations for Japanese denim. Currently, I am wearing the Rescues and Nudie SS (size 36). The SS fit nice so I'm looking for that kind of fit or something in between the SS and the Rescues. I'm a big guy so skinny fit is out of the question. So far I have been looking at: PBJ XX-003, Oni-Vedge Blue/Red, or some Samurais. I know all are great brands, but I have been leaning toward the PBJ or Samurai. Is the quality about the same between these or does one have superior denim? Any thoughts would be appreciated, thanks.
