Pants for "Hockey Player Legs"
Hi-I was wondering if any fellow thick legged guys out there have found a good brand of khakis/slacks that fit you well in a tapered but comfortable way. Before you point me in that direction, please know that I have searched the historic threads and while some of them do try to address a similar issue, the proposed solutions like "try Bonobos" are not going to work for me! Unfortunatley those are still generally too tight in the thigh when getting the waist and length that works for me. I generally wear Banana Republic Khakis but I feel like they are so baggy that they look sloppy. Anyone else have this problem? What are some brands I should try? Would love any advice! I'm generally a 36 x 32 or 36x34 and much prefer flat front.
try the orvis kakhis. i'm in the same boat and still haven't exactly found the best pair yet.
Yeah, its miserable trying to find pants. I either get pleats (yuck), MTM or size up in the waist and have it taken in.
Banana Republic.
J Crew or Banana Republic. I have the same problem - once got a pair of Hugo Boss that looked like they were painted on
Get bigger and then get them tailored. Really your only solution to avoid the bagginess.
Hitl is a good brand as well, I've had success with them. Like bobb says though, you sort of have to go size up in the waist and have them taken in. Or alternatively just stop lifting so heavy. When I was done with sports I stopped trying to deadlift the house and lost 20 lbs so had to get all new pants.

I'm a former college dlineman and have very thick legs, and the only pants I've found that fit good are tailored, pleated pants. I asked the tailor to go flat front, and he said my thighs were too big for flat front, so I guess I'm pleats for life...
Same boat and the best I've found was BR, but once you get into the BR Monogram it starts to get a bit tighter but still alright
Calf implants.
I just showcase the fact that my thighs and gluteus maximus are enormous. Let everyone know who is in charge.
The only flat front pants that fit me well are Zanella...but literally nothing else. I think it's just the cut, eveything else I tried makes my pockets stick out at the sides and it looks retarded. You can go a size or two up on these, get it taken in and they won't be baggy.
I'm a 34 waist and roughly same length as OP but have pretty thick legs since I weigh about 205. I refuse to go pleated.
Wearing pleated pants today, so roomy and comfortable . But damn I hate this look
Thanks for the input guys. Yah, I hate the look of pleated pants today too-gotta check out some of these alternatives. Banana Republic chinos are comfy and do fit the leg room requirement, but I find them to be too baggy, particularly around the ankles. I think it looks sloppy which is what I'm trying to get away from.
Try Epaulet. They are a StyleForum affiliate. Their Walt trousers, even though they're slim fit, all have a rise of over 12 inches and have plenty of room in the thigh (11.5 inches across when the trousers are laid flat at the lowest point of the crotch for a size 30). I have big thighs, too. Huge pain in the ass...
What are your leg measurements?
I usually wear Dockers D2 (Straight Fit) 31x32, and my legs were 26.5 last time I measured them.
Lululemon asia fit
If your size doesn’t fit well with off-the-rack clothes I would look at made-to-measure brands. There are many brands that work but the two I recommend the most are Proper Cloth and Suit Supply.
All you need to do is go to a tailor and get measurements and a made-to-measure pant can fit you exactly how you want. I would just start with one at the beginning because different brands will use their measurements in a different way. Like you may have a 36in thigh width but the way the brand builds around that can differ. So start with one and see if there are any adjustments you need to make and then add another one and keep doing that until you have it fitting exactly how you want it.
