I'm always between sizes
 
Right now I'm fat so my waist is between 38 and 40. Just go try finding 39 waist pants. Same goes my inseam - 31, not 30 or 32. Neck, 18 but arms 34-35. Most shirts are 18 35-36 or 36-37. Guess I'll have to start shopping at the round and short men's store.

I am laughing and laughing and laughing. How about some nachos?

cantdrv55 04-08-2009 03:56 PM

Got a bowl in front of me now. Yumm.

David 04-08-2009 04:06 PM

I'm happy cause I just moved up to a 34" waist from a 33". It's much easier to find 34" waist by 36" inseam :D

Paul T 04-08-2009 04:12 PM

Wild...you are my exact size! I feel your pain. I keep telling myself, someday I'll be able to fit back into those size 36 pants that I refuse to get rid of! In fact, I should be working out now, but I just finished a brutal 12 hr day and I'm beat (I know....excuses, excuses...)

masraum 04-08-2009 04:19 PM

This is how it works. If you're an odd size 33", 35", etc..., you buy the next size UP and wear a belt.

Going from a 32 to 34 is a huge jump. A guy with a 33 waist and a belt is gonna have some weird, rumpled pants when he puts on the 34's. Lately I've found the 34's I wear to be getting tight and uncomfortable. 36's look like gansta pants. I guess I don't have much of a bum.

55, it might be easier to loose 10 lbs. Put down the nachos. Put them down. ;)

hadehadehaya, I bet my high school pants would fit (31/32) and I'm just older than Milt. My 19yr old college swimmer son is the same size, but he wears relaxed fit jeans. Perhaps I'm blessed by not having a sweet tooth.

cantdrv55 04-08-2009 04:59 PM

I hate you Jim. ;)

Paul T 04-08-2009 05:09 PM

So do I :)

I was 31/32 in high school also, hard to believe I've put 7 inches on my waist! Then again, hard to believe I'm 40! Time to lose some weight....beer is the enemy. Specifically, good beer. It's shame I don't drink coors light, I'd probably be ok.

tedward515 04-08-2009 05:39 PM

I have the same problem. I actually wear a 32 waist but 34s feel so comfortable that I buy 36s ;)

cantdrv55 04-08-2009 05:40 PM

I had a 28 inch waist and wore a 34R tuxedo on my wedding day. I'm pretty sure my mother-in-law weighed more than me then. Fast forward 25 years and I'm into a 46R suit. I think my MIL still weighs more than me.

syncroid 04-08-2009 05:46 PM

I've been 34 for at least the last 5 years. I'm 48 to boot.

TimT 04-08-2009 05:48 PM

I wear 35 waist 30 inseam pants.. they are out there.... bit hard to find

peppy 04-08-2009 06:15 PM

My wife is shrinking my pants.:D

onewhippedpuppy 04-08-2009 06:23 PM

I need a 31 inseam. Why can't anyone make a freakin 31 inseam?

VincentVega 04-08-2009 07:28 PM

I made the mistake and went to a tailor last year. The close fit perfectly. They are damn expensive. Thing is, I dont want to wear off the shelf anymore.

Here's a good/cheap source for customer shirts, http://www.execshirts.com/measure-me-custom-dress-shirt.htm . I tested one with the average material, it fits perfectly.

porsche4life 04-08-2009 07:36 PM

I wear a 29/34. Find that in stores....

I hear you.

I go with the 32 inseam, better a little longer, than a little shorter.

Why is it o.k. for women to wear flood pants, but it not o.k. for men?

Tobra 04-08-2009 10:16 PM

dude, NOBODY wants to see your ankle

Get the 32", take them to the cleaner's, have them hemmed. Spend the 5 bucks, or whatever it is. Going to school, the limiting factor was thigh size, I did a lot of cycling. 32 waist 34 inseam is usually pretty easy to find, fortunately. I have been that size for a long time, like since HS.

Good genes make it easier to fit into your jeans

cantdrv55 04-09-2009 12:19 AM

I hate you skinny fellas. One thing good 'bout being fat; I'm never mistaken for a catcher.

That's why I haven't gone yet. I know they'll be amazing and I'll want to replace every pair of pants that I have, which I'm sure I really can't afford.

I hope that's a baseball reference, but I'm afraid it's not :eek:

By the way they are capris and they are made for men. They just look stupid.

Tailor. Tailor. Tailor.

Guys, buy good quality clothes. Have them tailored and wear them till they wear out. I have the waist pulled in on every pair of pant I own. You can too.

Rikao4 04-09-2009 06:24 AM

granted they are wafer thin..
but I still have and wear a pair from HS..
30 X 34...I simply cannot gain weight..
I try... 150 lbs..

Good lord, I thought I was the only one with this problem. I have a 33 waist (a fun size to locate) but my biggest fitting issue is in the thigh. Thank god for "loose fit" jeans.

myamoto1 04-09-2009 06:48 AM

ditto on the thigh issue. I have to buy baggy style pants, or they don't fit. I float between a 34 and 36 waist, depending on how active I've been. Bannana Republic usually has the odd waist sizes and for those with the odd inseam, just have 'em hemmed as others have said.

Rot 911 04-09-2009 06:49 AM

I buy all my suits, pants and shirts from www.Landsend.com

I get all my suits, shirts and pants there. The waist sizes go by inch so yes they have the odd sizes. Inseam is any size you want by quarter inch. This includes khakis and jeans. And if you get them and they aren't what you want or don't fit, then take them back to your local Sears store for a refund on the spot.

71T Targa 04-09-2009 07:00 AM

I was just out of college and my first job requiring dress pants and tie.

I go to the mens store looking for 28" pants and the guy tells me "We only have MENS sizes here"

vash 04-09-2009 08:32 AM

buy a half size bigger and invest in a few belts.

and only really good looking fit men that can easily kick my butt should wear capris...gay or not, i am not getting beat up by a man in short pants.

cantdrv55 04-09-2009 09:39 AM

I better donate my capris to Goodwill.

Burnin' oil 04-09-2009 09:45 AM

I think that's just about enough guy talk about clothes.
