I can't decide whether to identify myself as wearing baggy pants or regular fit pants. Do you believe some people's physique/appearance is forever better presented through a single fit (baggy vs regular)? For those of you who have reached the end of your pants journey, how did you finally decide? What struggles have you endured? Are any of you both? If so how do your homies react to you having no consistent pant fit? I am not joking this is a serious topic I haven't been able to decide for months and it keeps me up at night. Like for example I'll see a pair of shoes i really like, but it won't work with baggy pants or vice versa. I didn't mention shorts or tight pants and dont wanna rewrite all of this so just pretend I did.
-
get this shit out of here
-
You're legally allowed to do both, ya know.
-
the struggle is real though. i like the middle ground, like 93 denim, and i try to stick to a similar fit all the time.

Wear whatever makes you feel good about your appearance and optimizes your performance when you skate. I found a pair of affordable carhart work pants that I liked and ended up ordering like 6 of the same style in various colors. I personally think you should dress to fit your body type as well. I’m not a skinny dude so if I wear tight fit clothes I look fuckin ridiculous. I know a lot of people will think this post is corny but I know where you’re coming from, I actually had clothes madness for a while and couldn’t figure out how to combine fashion and function to not look like an absolute try hard or someone who let their mom dress them for picture day. You’ll find your balance eventually. Just keep your receipts
-
Levi's 550, up two sizes in the waist, up one in the inseam. Perfect fit, every time.

you can't dress cool until you're good. I always have a hearty chuckle when the kid wearing the latest swag can't land shit.

I have different pants for different occasions. The pants I wear to work are typically the Levi's 541 Athletic Tapers sized up or a similar fit from another brand. My skate pants are usually the 550s one to two sizes up depending on the color or loose fit pants from various brands. I find that the relaxed straight fit sized up tends to fit most occasions for me. Not too loose, not too tight. The other factor when deciding which pants to wear is the fit of the shirt. Loose fitting shirts don't look kosher with slimmer pants just like slimmer shirts don't look right with baggier pants. This same logic applies to the shoes. Nothing makes me wince more than bulkier shoes with slimmer pants. But that is just me though.

This totally resonates with me i own four pairs of pants, 2 are dickies skateboarding jeans that are a bit baggier than the average pair of jeans but not by much and then a pair of big boy esque jeans made by my local shop and the brad cromer huf pants which are also really baggy. I mostly skate vans and they look kinda weird with the baggy pants but ive been skating the rowan 2s for a while now which look pretty good with the baggy pants but still i feel this weird obligation to pick one or the other. I want to stop wearing baggy pants a) im 6'3 so they look a little weird and b) i want to further disassociate myself from all the fa shirt wearing teenagers i see skating but i just cant let them go for some reason maybe because my collection of pants would shrink by 50%? I dont know? I also sometimes just feel that certain swagger when wearing them further making my decision harder. This is something i think about everyday when i get dressed in the morning though. Well figure it out one day

This. Except I go normal inseam or even down one if I can find it. 29” inseam is kinda hard to come by though. Also I’m short so a 30 is already kinda long on me. I don’t like to trip over my pants but I also don’t like the high waters look. I wear a belt too which helps keep them where I need them. Also if some people find 550’s up 2 sizes too baggy, try the 505 instead. It’s a regular straight leg fit instead of loose. And fyi we have plenty of gear crisis, pants threads etc in the shoes and gear section of SLAP.
-
After a year of weight gain, my baggy jeans are now skinny jeans. I get the best of both worlds.
-
I have transcended pants madness and now I’m on skirt/dress madness. Tight denim looks best but isn’t too functional, flowy, soft longer skirts are functional but don’t look good on me. I’m just going to start dressing like nyjah.

These diverse modern times must be confusing for people who try to be „hip“ and follow the mainstream. Until now, there was only one trend to follow, now we live in a time where multiple trends exist side by side.

if you skate plaza ledges you need to wear baggy pants
if you skate handrails and stair gaps you need to wear skinny jeans
if you skate something else you need to wear pants in the middle
i dont make the rules

It's been a long and expensive journey to baggy pants enlightenment, but I think I've finally found the perfect fit.
It's the Polar 93 denim. Perfect amount of baggy and for once I don't have to get them tailored.
-
My pant identity is whatever I can find for under $30 a pair
-
Baggy for skate. No more nad huggers, and I’m getting thicker.
Form fitting for social outings.

Form fitting for social outings.
I call my form fitting civilian outing pants, "society pants" and I hate wearing them because it makes me feel like a marvel cinematic universe fan.

Ive always been a bigger dude, I wish I was some skinny motherfucker so I could rock tight pants hesh gear
Gangster vs punk, I would like to mix them
Ever since I stopped skating I rock sweatpants 24/7
-
I settled with a straight leg 2 sizes up. Feels comfy.

Fashion is absolute dogshit across the board right now, and I blame the typical scenario of mainstream culture picking up on skateboard fashions like 3 years later. Society as a whole has really given up when the most common pair of pants are tapered sweatpants. "Look, I'm trying to dress halfway decent, my sweats are cinched, but not really, because they're still sweats and we're dressing like fucking slobs anyway."
I'm a middle aged guy and going back to wearing baggy pants when that was my teenage heyday isn't much different from someone still wearing their high school football jersey in their 40s. There's a fine line to be had for someone my age. Too skinny or too baggy is dressing out of my age group. Regular slims can be perceived as having no style. I'm trying to go for just barely a degree looser than dylan.'s iconic look of cuffed slim pants with loafers, but finding the right level of baggy/tight is hard for someone over 6' and 165lbs.
-
i think we all should just be our selves :)
-

I’m old so I don’t try to get too baggy. Usually this (505 2 sizes up), 550 1 size up or dockers in my normal size do me good. I can move around but don’t look too Cookie Monster snapback (an effect that happens when you’re over thirty and go too baggy)
-
550s and Andrew cords

Sizing up 2 in the waist is goofy boy status. If u gotta size up 2 then those aren’t the right cut
-
vincent touzery, aaron loreth, AO, nick boserio, casper brooker, joe campos, manderson and jake anderson have imo impeccable pant game and i wish my shit fit like them and look decent
that said
Just be like me and keep buying pants to try to fill that void in your life
but to echo someone here, my fit changes from work, when skating, and just hanging out.
yet, the crisis remains
sorry to not help:(

I really like 92s and 93s, but get self conscious with that little dude on the pocket as i'm definitely too old for that shit, but they're the best for skating.

baggy enough you're chilling, but not too baggy that you feel like a tryhard old fuck

I always default to Dickies 874's or Carhartt relaxed fit pants for a middle ground fit. The 5 pocket canvas ones are super comfortable and have a decent color selection

newer ones have just the face in one color, much less visible. the most recent pairs don't even have the yellow back tab, it's light grey with the polar spellout logo instead of the graffiti ish 93. i liked that back tab so that sucks but i do think it's cool that they changed that pocket embroidery.

Gear crisis always comes down to pants.
Bad pants ruin what could have been good footy.
I was surprised Suciu admitted this recently. I rewatched some of his footy from maybe 8 years ago. Holy shit, his pants situation isn't particularly good now, but a few years ago it was atrocious. Spoilingly so.
I don't think there's an absolute answer, it's a question of matching to your body type.
Shorts are always a bad idea.
I don't believe in 2% elastic but maybe I just never found a pair with a good cut. Feels like a cop-out to me.
Carl Aikens needs to reign it in like 1 or 2 sizes.
TJ Rogers needs an intervention
Heitor was flirting with the bounds of taste but now seems to have perfected the balance.
Leo Romero needs to size up a couple of inches, for fucks' sake, they look like goddamned leggings.
Nyjah, strangely, I got no problem with.

You can't judge pants from 8 years ago by today's standards

Leo's pants are appropriately sized for a skinny Mexican rock and roller.
-
Old Navy stretch chinos are my go to skate pants. Comfy, light and functional. Usually come in decent colours, often on sale, and pair well enough with most shoes. Far from the coolest, but I hate the feeling of sweaty jeans and stiff work pants.

I disagree. I don't think 8 years ago we were rewatching Trilogy saying everyone's pants look too big.
Throughout every era, certain people got it right, and other people overdid it in either direction. I think it was obvious at the time and is still obvious now. Nonetheless, year zero for me was Finally, so I kind of can't help that the norms portrayed therein will always be the center point of my barometer.

Basically my idea is things from about 7.5 years ago very often seem shitty and it takes 15 years for things to come around again. Sure people have specific tastes but suicu as the example was just whatever normal person.
So yeah nobody was worried about trilogy because it had come back around but in 2014 people would be pretty off some shit from the mid 00s.

I go both ways. Baggy Camouflage Pants. Slim jeans. It's all the same to me.
I'm more interested in the leg cut than that fit.
My pet peeve for pants is in used gear. If I go to tha Salvee and I buy. I check the junk first.
Nothing worse than buying tight JEANS formerly owned by someone with WAY bigger balls than I. So I try them on in the isle.
I'm big beans small pork. It's no secret or nothing. I just want a proper nut hugger that was not owned by Dirk.
It feels funny to be tight all over except your jock.

874s are really the Goldilocks skate pant. Not too tight for our current baggy trend cycle, but they also weren’t too baggy back when skinnier cuts were the style. Never the coolest, but also never totally uncool either.

How longs it take for you to blow out a pair tho? I wore hundreds maybe thousands of pairs up until like 02ish. It was mandatory as a child because my parents bought only those and stiff indigo Lee jeans in the 80s.
I continued with Dickies right up to around 911 I'm pretty sure tho.
When I came back around 2011 things seemed different.
I've had like 6 pairs since then.
My second to last pair I got about 3 months out of them. I'd say that like 30 skate session out of um. They was totally destroyed. I consider that not to be good. Should have been double that at least.
The last pair the clasp broke in the first week. I still got them somewhere. Dickies make excellent patch material. I've never tried to replace that clasp before. Idk where to begin with that thing.
What's your average?
-
I think there is a market for adjustable leg openings. The technology is there, the world is ready.
-
Dickies carpenter jeans fit well on me and are what I wear 85% of the time. I'd say that they're a straight fit pant. Not tight but definitely not crazy baggy either.
I recently came across a photo of myself from like 8 years ago at an office job and my fit made me shudder lol. Slim fit chinos that end right before the ankles with black leather slip ons... oof

I like Lee Extreme Motion MVP pants. Jeans are just too heavy for me. I need lightness and some stretch.

Are any of you both? If so how do your homies react to you having no consistent pant fit?
I wear cargos and dickies in baggy fits, but most of my blue jeans are a more standard fit.
When I wear baggy cargos, my standard fit blue jean homies act like I don't exist anymore. They say "Gee I wonder where BurgerCop went? It's a shame he disappeared forever."
I'll shout "I'm here! I'm right here!" but they don't respond.
When I wear regular fit blue jeans my baggy cargo homies throw rocks at me.

Wear what you like! There’s no reason to set barriers for yourself regarding your clothing. In my case, I wear baggy jeans most of the time, but I also have skinny ones and straight-leg Levis that are slightly rolled up. It also depends on the shoes I’m going to wear. Enjoy your pants!
-
You guys sound like you like buying pants. For me it’s the worst item to buy.
-
for everyone reccomending the polar 93's do you all get your true size or do you size up?
i’m 6 foot 1, 85kg, i do 34/34. the 32 length is a tiny bit short on me, so i have to get them a bit bigger. a 33/33 would be perfect. i hear from people that they fit bigger than advertised and are different every drop, between the 3 pairs i own (from different drops) they fit pretty much the same, microscopic differences, and i’d say they’re true to size. if you get them in your normal size they will fit like a looser straight leg pant, if you get them bigger they will be a not overly baggy but still baggy pant. i’m good with the 34/34 because i like a little sag and stacking on my shoes, then i make the leg opening smaller by a centimeter so they don’t drag. i have this light blue pair that’s almost 2 years old and other than a little scuff on the knee and tears from griptape around the leg they’re still perfectly skateable, so it’s def worth it.
-
there's like a hundred page loose pant thread......
-
You just got watch Nijah to understand clothing direction sometimes counts...
Despite that, a decent thick baggy to me would always be more comfy for the nuts.Before the baggies we used to grab surplus kakis cause we were looking for comfort already before style matter.

874’s
Carhartt Doubles
550’s
501’s
93’s
I’m a regular fit guy. I feel like I look bigger than I actually am in really baggy pants or I look like an old man trying to look like a little kid. I pretty much just wear 505 Levi’s which are just 501s but with a zipper instead of a button fly. I have like 5 of the same pair and like 5 in different colorways. I wear 874 dickies a lot too. I have a pair of 18 east cords and they’re awesome too. I bought some regular fit wranglers from target for like 12 bucks each a while back I have like 4 pairs of just light denim color.
Writing this makes it seem like I have a lot of pants. Another guy posted about being 6,1 and like 185 and I’m not too far off from that so I’m curious about the 93s. Maybe I actually buy a pair of polar pants (I have 2 hand me down surf pants).

Nah I’m getting paid doing something that I enjoy and it’s all about getting people hyped to go skate street, the positive response has been overwhelming. Maybe you should ride your skateboard as hard as you hate 😘

wtf is this thread you eddies. for the OP, i have gone thru pants madness too. that shits real af. my best advice to anyone on this looking for advice is the rules i made to soothe my OCD:
1) aim for true-ish to size waist and focus more on the cut of the pant that you want (ex relaxed -> loose -> baggy). most pants esp denim are natural and will stretch the hell out. like someone else said its 2024, why are you tryna be a goofy boy. if you size up OD you might not like the fit later on, especially with an uncomfortable sagging crotch that basically showcases ur bulge while youre grocery shopping at target
2) for the OCD heads, uniform matters. for example, once i knew 93s worked out, i schemed on depop, ebay and some retail to scoop up 10 pairs. most i paid 50 bucks for. secondhand is worth it, i know i have expensive tastes but fuck it
3) find your leg opening measurement and inseam. a leg opening can make or break the fit. too tapered and your shit gon look like balloon. too wide you look like a jit. go to tailor, theyll shorten, taper and misc. alter your shit for cheap most the time.
4) get a fit you can wear daily. idk wtf yall do but if youre not a yuppie in a tech job where everyone wears fuckin jnco bell bottoms u gotta look good sometimes. im in the trades and found some dark wash 93s debadged look clean and are still comfortable. if you cant wear them everywhere are they really pants or is it just cosplay gear?
5) consider proportioning your tees. maybe size down a tee if you wanna slim the pants down. itll make them look like a better fit and you wont have popsicle legs, especially when the tee isnt too long. you can get cheap blanks off websites like jiffyshirts.com ranging from 2 dollar gildan to 10 dollar comfort colors. same goes for hoodies. these sites list all measurements. get a tape measure and find what works for you.
obviously this is what works for me. but knowing your preferred measurements will help out a ton. you will have more control on the fortune of finding good pants. good luck out there. its brutal with everyone and their fuckin mom makin pants out here now.

I always default to Dickies 874's or Carhartt relaxed fit pants for a middle ground fit. The 5 pocket canvas ones are super comfortable and have a decent color selection
874s very versatile
874 is still my goto type. I wish, there was less plastic in the pants.

Regular on the slimmer side forever & ever, all along the way.

I can't decide whether to identify myself as wearing baggy pants or regular fit pants. Do you believe some people's physique/appearance is forever better presented through a single fit (baggy vs regular)? For those of you who have reached the end of your pants journey, how did you finally decide? What struggles have you endured? Are any of you both? If so how do your homies react to you having no consistent pant fit? I am not joking this is a serious topic I haven't been able to decide for months and it keeps me up at night. Like for example I'll see a pair of shoes i really like, but it won't work with baggy pants or vice versa. I didn't mention shorts or tight pants and dont wanna rewrite all of this so just pretend I did.
whenever someone pulls up in regular pants after they were a baggy pant guy my one friend always goes up to them and says "bout time you grew up and wore some real pants like a fucking man!"

i dress like you, only i buy hanes tees and dickies at walmart and don't add the 50% cool tax so i can talk about how the fit to other adult men
a lot of wal-marts only stock 'dickies authentic' which is NOT the same as the classic 874. theyre not terrible but theyre not the same either. hanes tees are pretty bad tho, they don't hold their shape at all. i became a connoisseur of cheap ass clothes when i was younger and broke. for plain tees its worth splurging on uniqlo.

Baggy & loose is superior, obviously, but I recently gave an old pair of black Volcom Solver's a run out (only in the house, of course), and do you know what? They looked sick with a pair of all black Accel OG's. I forgot how good slim/straight black jeans look with black puffy shoes. I'll be ready when the time comes for slim pants to get the limelight again.

The skinny pants/big shoe look was like the bellbottoms of skateboarding. We can’t go back.

There were a lot of actual bellbottoms at that time. Retrospectively embarrassed skaters will call them “boot cut” pants, but thems were bellbottoms.

There are a lot of people who think tighter pants look ‘grown up’, and baggy pants look ‘immature’, but this is a cultural bias like any other.
I grew up in the 70’s and 80’s when the grandpa’s who had their heyday back in the 40’s and 50’s still rocked wide pants. So for me, grandpas = baggy, loose, comfortable clothes. It doesn’t seem weird to me at all, and I’m embracing it.
The kids who (unfortunately) grew up in the 00’s are going to look weird as hell trying to rock tight shit when they are older. It’s a personal bias, but I prefer the way loose clothes make the human silhouette look. Probably the same for majority of cultures around the world. Tight shit looks uncomfortable to me.
So if you think loose and baggy look ‘immature’, just remember the kids growing up in Big Boys now are going to think the same about you trying to hold on to the slim pants look with your walker.

Agreed. Quit wearing them daily bc of this. Still have a couple pairs in rotation, if just seems like after a year of consistent use they don't fit the same.
