Ottakee Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Dh got a new job today and he will occ. need some docker type pants for work. Most times he can wear jeans but once in a while he will need something a bit dressier. We have the shirts covered. The issue is that he has a 44-46 inch waist but NO butt. His butt would be a size 30 and he has thinner legs, etc. We often run into issues where the pants that fit around the waist have such a saggy baggy butt. He wants some that look a bit nicer. I am wondering about a lower rise/slim fit type style but often those don't come in the larger waist sizes. he is working on loosing weight, etc. but we need pants that fit well next week. Any idea on brands/styles/stores, etc. to look as he is NOT a shopper and won't want to try on 20 different pairs (although we might have to) at 6 different stores. We also need them to be durable and wrinkle resistant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desert Strawberry Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Watching this. D is exactly the same. I found jeans that fit, but he wears khakis to work, and they all fit badly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catwoman Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Buy the correct waist size and have them tailored to fit his butt. It's worth the cost of tailoring to not have a saggy butt! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoseInABook Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Yep, I think tailoring is the only option there. I feel for him. My butt/legs are much smaller than my mama gut and it drives me NUTS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desert Strawberry Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 According to this fit guide, he needs flat-front, slim leg pants. http://www.ebay.com/gds/Mens-Dress-Pants-Fitting-Guide-/10000000177631171/g.html Where to find them, I don't know.

Ewe Mama Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 You could always insert buttonhole elastic and make your own adjustable waist pants, but for the over the age of 10 crowd, I'd have to agree with a trip to a good tailor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunflowerlady Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Following. Dh needs non saggy butt jeans. He is thin and jeans that fit his waist sag in the rear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoobie Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 I agree that tailoring is the answer. I'd buy one good pair and get them tailored vs several cheaper pair. You could try Gap's tailored khakis. They come in a slim fit (also a relaxed fit) and go up to 44 waist. They're DH's standard work pants, and he's fairly picky about clothes. They don't need to be ironed! Look for a code + sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old navy. They sell up to 48 on their website. Unfortunately, you would need to order them online in order to try them on and you can't return online orders in the store. And maybe Lands End? JcPenney? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cera Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Having pants tailored is actually less expensive than I realized. I usually only pay around $15 a pair to have mine altered for an almost perfect fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It says on the old navy website that you can return things in store except for items marked "mail only". If something is mail only, it should be free to return.

Desert Strawberry Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 These sound perfect, and they are$13! http://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=1016839&vid=1&pid=939748042 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If something is mail only, it should be free to return. In her dh's case, it's likely that he would need to return by mail since 44/46 is considered an extended size and extended sizes can not be returned in the store.

Catwoman Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 I hate having to return things by mail when there's a store 5 minutes from my house. :glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
