[Texas_Tone]

Me and my sister are working on “surf” pants for a more reasonable price, she is putting together the sample pair now

Saw some cash only jeans, I think similar to butter goods....

Keep us posted! Good luck on it, I hope they come out great!

I just got the Dickies Franky Villani double knee cords in 36 x 27. My true waist is 32, but sizing up is especially necessary for dickies. The fit is fine, but I wish they were more tapered. That, and the cut bottoms that are supposedly made not to fray frayed really quick. Color/material is super nice tho.

It’s not that hard to taper a pair of pants, if you have the time and resources. Especially if you like them

News to me that Franky V got his own line of Dickies apparel. Stoked for him

[Huell Howser]

has anyone tried any denim/chinos/cords form CCS?

[camel filters]

Came up on some polar big boys that I need to take to get hemmed. Anyone have experience with getting big boys altered in particular? Since the leg openings are so wide, I don't know if I need to specify that I need the bottom of the legs to be cinched in or anything.

Fold the legs inward to the length you want, and see how they look in the mirror. If the opening is too big, get them tapered a little bit. If you do want them tapered, make sure you go to a half decent tailor who knows what they're doing (not a '15 minute alterations' place in the mall). Before tapering them, the tailor will probably have you put them on and pin them in place to make sure they get them how you want them.

I haven't done this with Big Boys specifically, but I've done it with other pants, to good results. It will cost a little more than just the hem, but you don't want to end up with $100+ jeans that you never wear because they fit weird.

This is pretty random, but these urban outfitter pants are the shit to skate in


These are a bit baggier:

more slim:

Basically a cheaper, unbranded version of the polar surf pants.
I also tried out those poetic collective pants and they're expensive and kinda suck... the legs are totally untapered and big tubes and the front pockets are odd..

Thanks, this is the kind of advice I was hoping for!

Just got the Dusty Plum Butter Goods pants and they are amazing. Such a good cut of pant. Color is perfect too and really good quality.

got a free pair of poetic collective pants from one of the riders and i agree about all the points made but i would still say they're very comfortable to skate in because of how untapered and big they are.
i have one pair of urban outfitter cords and they're actually kinda sick.

Stupid question, but might be the right place. I usually wear Dickies. Never actually skated in Jeans, are jeans cooler to skate in for summer. And by cooler i mean temp wise haha

depends how thick and heavy the denim is

No, unless you buying shitty denim

[notinternetfamous]

the volcom louie pants fits pretty nice and loose. I copped the brown cords & dark blue jeans in 29" and the waist feels more like a 30"/31". The inseam seems to be on the shorter side which I like bc I usually have to cuff or hem pants for them to sit better on shoes. The jeans are really good quality denim and the color is real nice. Highly recommend!

Welcome Principal Solid Color Elastic Pants, Magic Forest color - got them on sale for $52. Not my usual fit but I wanted non-jeans for more room + elastic waist/string (if you know of more let me know, ideally a 99%cotton 1% spandex type deal). Sorry lots of pics.

I'm 183lbs (today), 5'10"/31"ish inseam + muscular quads and calves so I can't do skinny or regular - these are a size SM (I had tried the medium, fucking huuuuge) - These are 97% Cotton 3% spandex, so a bit of stretch to them, but plenty or room, they are on the thicker side/heavier weight size so great for fall. No cuff, they hang/sit perfectly...but one wash in cold, and a medium tumble dry and they shrunk in length like a mother fucker. Total highwaters now. HAD I READ THE FUCKING TAG it clearly states to not tumble dry them at all. oh well. buyer beware.

[Xen]

I'm washing them in HOT and going to Tumble dry on HIGH AS FUCK to see how small I can get them now, maybe one of my kids can wear them.

Came here to say these don't qualify for this thread, but sounds like you wanted them bigger but ruined them with the dryer. I'm going to say that you shouldn't put anything in the dryer that you care about, except towels and sheets. We have one at home and i won't even put my sheets in it unless i absolutely have to. That thing is the worst for your clothes.

Also, the medium probably would have been fine, maybe you're just not used to seeing yourself in baggy pants? If you're coming from slim or relaxed, it takes a bit of getting used to, seeing those big pants in the mirror

I did indeed fuck them up by not reading the label. That's on me. Perhaps someone interested on them will glean some useful information from the post. Moving on...

As the title of the thread suggests we're talking loose fit, doesn't say 'oversized' or 'baggy' or 'MC Hammer-like but loose. Which these are (pic is medium btw but they were too big in the waist or I would have just cut to length): https://www.skatewarehouse.com/Welcome_Principal_Twill_Pants/descpage-WCPTEPT.html?from=gshop&gclid=Cj0KCQjw_fiLBhDOARIsAF4khR2XNCVtSAwnftGct61tFbDKJiQhJipBYZu_ry6KCDM0eSw7H2BOczsaAuEpEALw_wcB

Pretty holier than thou/highly condescending post. It's great that you have a dryer, and sheets at home. It's also greatly appreciated you taking the time out just to drop by with your 'loose fit' qualifications standards. Kudos.

What does me [you assumed here and are uninformed] not being used to seeing myself in baggy clothes have to do with anything if I was happy with the fit before I fucked them up? You got one thing right, Mediums would have been fine...after shrinking.

Anyway, I, too, have sheets and a dryer (both fucking rad, am I right?). I'm also quite versed in high quality fabrics and care; including high-end workout gear (that can also be instantly fucked in 5 min. med heated dryer) / casual wear, synthetics, cotton, silks, and wool to a few hundo+ selvedge denim (that I don't wash or dry ever). I guess  you hang your sheets on a clothes-line then (serious question, not stirring up shit)? I couldn't be bothered with that shit.

One thing is clear, we have different expectations of pant care for pants that one actually uses to, dare I say, skate in, perhaps you were thinking this thread only pertains to loose fit casual/street wear?

If I have to wash $65 skate pants inside out, cold only, hang them dry, can't dry clean (exact label specs btw), and have touch my nose and spin three times to care for them properly, when they are going to get fucked on session one, I don't want them; street/casual wear is is a total different story but I didn't buy these with that in mind.

That all said they are great feeling and fitting pants provided you don't put them in the fucking dryer - now to get a pair in large and shrink them down so I don't have to worry about them

Firstly, thanks for this wonderful reply, it made my day.

I think we just have very different ideas of loose fit. I'd call those a relaxed fit at best. I hope you find a good home for these and that shrinking down a bigger size works out for you

[Xen]

Glad I made your day.

FWIW Welcome puts them as 'baggy relaxed' - SW 'Regular straight fit' (as if), so point to you on relaxed, but come on..when talking about skinny/slim/regular/relaxed/ where does baggy or loose come into play? All fucking around aside, you are fond of the Polar surf pants, you consider them loose, to me, they're baggy due to the long inseam so they stack (where as the Welcomes are a shorter inseam), both with wide hip width and low crotches and tapers.

I think you are looking at my size choice compared to how the pants are actually made to fit (hence you suggesting mediums would have been fine, by your definition). The pants are indeed loose, I just chose to keep the fit less fashion over form.

I'd say it goes relaxed, then loose, then baggy?
those pants are nice, look a lot like the surf pants but a better length.
Good point about the sizing, I'd probably need a L at least.
Also, you're right, that was condescending earlier, and I apologise.

All good man. I'm just trying to find some fucking loose pants to skate in and I'm pissed I fucked up those welcomes - but FFS that's A LOT of care for a pair of pants; I've got some expensive dress/work and gym gear that require less fucking effort than those things.

I looked at the surf pants too, but they seemed way too long, I would have cut them for sure, not bothered with tailoring them (especially for skating). They seem a bit baggier (thigh width) than I want. What's the care for them?

Also, the Welcome's have a really fucking nice sheen to them (hence the need to wash inside out). I soaked them in hot water, finished the wash cycle, then nuked the fuck out of them on high in the dryer, teen kid sized now.

Picked up these in a few big sizes. cheap. (easy returns if they suck):
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08V87J642/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I wear these as casual shit, errands and such, but they are a very athletic cut so I boosted up 2 sizes, easy returns as well; much more than I want to spend on skate pants tho...they're really nice pants tho.

Holy shit both of them are tight. The second ones are SUPER tight.

[Velcro Wallet]

The Tiago’s are too baggy. I never thought I’d ever say that. Around the thighs they are MASSIVE and don’t tapper much. If they were the same style cut as Big Boys they would be full JNCO fr

You can’t really tell buy photos but I catch my reflection and think “these look silly” lol

[Jagr]

I just got the Dickies Franky Villani double knee cords in 36 x 27. My true waist is 32, but sizing up is especially necessary for dickies. The fit is fine, but I wish they were more tapered. That, and the cut bottoms that are supposedly made not to fray frayed really quick. Color/material is super nice tho.

Do you mean sizing up on the Villani cords is necessary like with 874s? I usually go up at least 2 if not 4 inches at the waist on 874s just because the waist sizing is so crazy. Or did you size up from 32 to 36 to get a little extra bagginess?

[Xen]

Holy shit both of them are tight. The second ones are SUPER tight.

I wear the mediums as casual / work pants, they are an athletic cut  (bigger thigh, and a taper), I wear a medium, so I ordered a XL and XXL to achieve what I am after (easy post office box returns).

I swear the model is wearing a small, the meds fit like you'd expect  slim or slim-regular with a taper. They don't appear skinny like that on me. It states "Model is 5'11" and is wearing a size Medium" I'm 5'10" and way more swole in the legs than that dude and the mediums still have room in them. Well see how the XL goes, will need to chop the legs. They've got this sweet almost inner thigh pocket on them, perfect for a phone and it doesn't get in the way of ollies.
