    Not a chance pal, especially if you are of normal size and build.

    I'm 5'10" n 12 stone.......34 waist, 30 leg......can I find normal jeans to fit ????? Can I buggÂŁry. If I was 6' 10" n 8 stone or 4 foot n twice as wide I'd have loads to choose from :mad:






    Can you tell this is REALLY a pet hate of mine :D

    AND I'll tell you another thing, the material they make em from these days is cr@p.

    It used to take forever to wear a pair of jeans out as a kid, even cheap ones.Climb trees in em, play football, hide n seek, hedge hopping. didn't matter, they were indestructible (especially Levi n Wranglers). Now the most strenuous thing I do in em is cross my legs and the left knee of nearly every pair I own has worn through:mad:

    AND the more you pay the worse they get!






    If you see a normal sized bloke walking round Hoyland or Elsecar with the left knee worn through on his jeans just say hello :D (or ignore me if you don't want to hear the same rant again ;))

    I have horrendous trouble trying to buy jeans, couldn't find a pair to fit me up until last year. I'd have to get two sizes too big and belt them up as my waist is tiny, but apparently all small sized jeans are made for people that have non-existant butts. I've finally discovered that Next jeans are pefect.

    Been through this this morning mate, why would a 52 year old guy want a pair of jeans that show my arse crack, low slung waist , WTF ? Why try and sell me something that just is not what I want? I used to get Levi`s or Wranglers every time, last pair of them I got were crap!
    Skinny fit, boot cut, stretch why ?????????????? I am a fat fecker, I know that I will look a **** in any of those, so just let me buy some jeans that are just NORMAL !!!!!

    I didnt bother in the end , went and bought a new Air conditioning unit instead !

    Try getting a pair of shorts at the end of August. No chance.
    It's all woollen cardigans, boots and scarves.

    At least men's jeans all have leg sizes, women's jeans are ridiculous, one size fits all and all that. How can they just say 8, 10, 12 etc and think they are all the same height? Some shops do now at least do short, regular and long, but that doesn't really solve it.
