Are there any decent loose fit jeans with proper stretch (at least 2% elastane) in them? I love the fit of the Polar 93s but I could do with some stretch especially when they get really sweaty. Loosest jeans with stretch I have are Volcom Modown jeans and they’re more of a relaxed fit instead of loose.

Levi's 550 has a few colors with stretch. Go a couple sizes up for loose fit. Super comfortable.

[close]

Thanks. For some reason the 550 seems to next to nonexistent in Europe. I did find Levi’s skateboarding baggy jeans but am wondering if those would be more similar to Polar Big Boys which don’t really work that well for me. Maybe I’ll order a pair to see how they fit.

Thanks @chillclinton87. I can’t do Nike. Some chinos would be cool though.

polar surf pants and the welcome principal pants

someone shit on the welcome pants earlier i think because they put them in the dryer but i have a pair and honestly they're pretty solid just a wee-bit heavy for the summer months.

[close]

Thanks. I should have specified that I’m looking for pants with stretch in the fabric. The waist is not the problem for me, it’s the crotch. I can’t wear my pants very high as they simply won’t stay there and look goofy on me. So if the rise of the pants is high and there’s no stretch, that can become a bit of a problem especially when the pants start becoming sweaty and start binding to my skin.

@Roisto juste saw your answer....was moving places the last weekend. 550 Levi's you can find on ebay mostly coming from England usually! 1 or 2 sizes up.
The Surf pants don't have stretch in em but move up/ highwater a bit with you just like dickies or carhartt workpants. if you get the surf pants the right size that should not be a problem too. worst case is you degrade the sufs to chiller pants/ non skating pants and have it real comfy! i wear my surfs to work in summer- always look fitting for my work environment and they are no hot boxes wich is nice!

[close]

The surf pants have been tempting me. I’m worried they might be too short though. I’ve been spending a lot of money recently and the summer is soon over so maybe I’ll leave the surf pant consideration for next spring.

I wish I had the balls to wear such stuff to work. Our office is so fancy corporate “smart” even though there’s no dress code and no one will give you shit for wearing whatever but almost everyone is dressed up real smart and I don’t like attention that much.

I’m 6’4” with a 32-34” inseam and I got the medium tall surf pants and they fit great. Plenty of length. They do high water a little when I sit down but not bad

Thanks. I didn’t know they made different length versions. I’m about 6’2” and inseam is 32-34” depending on the fit so maybe they could work nicely for me! All this new info is tempting me even worse but I’ll still try to hold until I have a better financial situation. 

[pizzafliptofakie]

Sorry if I asked about this earlier, but does anyone here have the Vans Authentic Loose chino? I think those elastic baggy ones posted earlier might be too big for me, and I have a pair of the standard Vans chinos that are a tad too slim for my taste, so I'm sorta thinking Loose chino might be my goldilocks pant.

[manysnakes]

I know I am late to this game, but since I'm apparently at least one or two pant sizes up from what I was throughout my 30s, I pulled the trigger on some CCS relaxed original chinos and these things are pretty great. They're definitely not Polar Surf loose, which is fine as I am nearly 42 years old, but plenty loose for skating with a very nice, high quality cotton that softened nicely after just one washing. Definitely a pair of skate pants you could wear on a date or to work without being self-conscious. Price is great, too.

Since, as I noted, I am now a fully larger human being in need of new pants, I just ordered four more.

[BartHarleyJarvis]

I just bought a couple pairs of 550s off a pal (shout out to @Urtripping ) and they're great. I bought TTS so they're loose but definitely not baggy, and they taper really nicely at the cuff. If you want a baggy fit, you probably need to order 1-2 sizes up in the waist.

Plenty of room in the thigh and knee, there's no stretch but I didn't feel inhibited at all skating.

[Made In China]

I've managed to hold off on buying any Polar pants until recently when I finally caved and got the 44 cords from a crazy MLTD sale. They're not baggy per say but more of a loose wide leg fit similar to my Ceeblues and Butter Goods loose fit. I really like the fit of them but my only complaint is that the cord material is thick and kind of rough. Not as soft as any of my other cord pants, but maybe they'll break in and soften with wear.

Carhartt WIP costs the most then possibly Dickies (wearing Dickies in the UK is basically Cosplay) and then Levis Skateboarding.

same!  i'm 6'3 about 195lbs and also rock an M-tall in the surf pants.  i could definitely do a large also, but they would be baggier than id want.  the M allows for the waist to stay put and still give me a good silhouette

What about just regular Levis?  I always hear what people pay for dickies in the rest of the world and laugh… not worth it. 

[Candied cigarettes]

Those eS baggy pants look like they have some potential to be nice fitting, but given what I’ve heard about the shoes these days I’d be worried about quality

Hell yeah glad they're working! I love a pair of 550s in 36x30. If you're 5'8"-6' and medium build, they'll be nice and loose but still have a nice noticeable taper and slim leg opening.

560s are sick too tho, you can buy tts and they are a baggier fit.

Anyone got that full butter goods size chart? It was posted in here awhile back but I can't find it here or online anymore.

Not sure if you've found it but here you go

Apologies for the double post but these look sick

I don't trust Volcom anymore after I got their shorts with such awful pockets that my phone would constantly fall out randomly. I forgot about that issue and put the shots on to go skating one day... My phone fell out while lightly pushing down the street (not even doing an ollie). First time I ever cracked a phone screen even a little bit.

I'm sure their pants are fine besides those, but "I don't trust like that".

That's borderline unforgivable but give them another chance, I have a pair of the billow jeans and don't have that problem.

quick question: How is the fit on the Polar 44 Pants compared to a 93 Jeans- Like width and inseam?

If i get the totally confusing sizing on the polar Page right they are fairly long?

So I have the the 93s and 44s in the same size. The 44's are more baggier (almost too much for my liking, if anyone is interested in olive 30x30, send me a dm!) and the inseam is slightly longer. I don't have to cuff the 93s; with the 44s, I do.

thanks a lot for the solid answer!

Was on the fence since they look to have a rather wide leg opening too, plus i am 5´7 and have rather short legs, so i guess these 44 Pants might not fit me well all around!
i mean, i could still hem them and all that but i don't wanna spend money unneccessarily on something at the moment!

Yeah I've been wearing Polar pants for years now, but I have to say the 44 are probably my least favorite in terms of cut. I'm six foot and for a size 32, they were baggy in all the wrong places. If you're going to get anything, the grund's I think are ten times better.

Was thinking of the Grund Chinos too because of the taper! Then again i recently got some dickies sized up and got a supergood deal on another pair of Surf Pants through a friend!

But i'll keep the grund chinos in mind if they go on sale

I’m looking for black chinos that fit like Levis 559. Anybody know of any?

I’ve tried:
Vans Authentic Chino Relaxed. A little too baggy and long for my taste. Not a fan of having to cuff my pants.
Volcom Chinos. Not feeling that little white stone on the side.
Dockers Chinos. None really seem to fit like the 559.

[Lepanto]

Levis seems to be the best quality jeans  brand… got the 501 straight 1 o 2 waist sizes up, dont really like to be ultra loose haha
Recently noticed about they have a skateboards line.. i will try them in black

The fucking awesome three spiral denim shorts seems to be really nice to me, would like to order them but dont feel like riskeing spend that much for a shorts i dont know how they sizeing(live on spain)

I’ve got some nice loose fit black Volcom chinos without the stone logo on the leg. They’re probably 3 years old by now though and I can’t remember the exact model. Anyway, you can easily sharpie that logo black on black chinos. Makes it a lot less noticeable.

Granted this was years ago, but I got a pair of the skate 501s and they were quite slim. Slimmer than normal 501s, which I know aren't a very loose fit to begin with, but I was surprised. They're nice jeans and I still have them but they're too slim to skate in.





Also, popped my Polar cherry and got some Surf pants off Depop. It almost feels like cheating with how comfortable they are. I got a large and I reeeeally have to tug those drawstrings to get them to fit which makes me wanna try some mediums but either way I really like them.

Medium tall is the way, although I’ve found it hard to find them anywhere aside from the polar website

I'm kinda short so medium tall might be a bit too long for me, assuming the inseam is longer. I should probably just find some in a shop and try them on. I'm typically a 34, give or take, so according to their size chart I should be a large, but like I said, I gotta really tug those things to get them tight enough.

Gotcha. I think the size chart says inseam on large is the same as medium tall, so thought maybe if the large was good *except* the waist, they might work. That being said, medium is way easier to find. I just bought a new pair of large from the mltd sale that just ended because I never see medium tall anywhere.

Oh nice. I didn't see medium tall on the size chart so for some reason I just assumed they were longer lol. Even the larges are a little long and I'm deciding if I should just keep cuffing them or get them hemmed.

Get them hemmed. I’ve been taking my stuff down to the dry cleaner to get hemmed/repaired and it’s made such a difference, and it’s usually pretty cheap. I had a pair of carhartts that were way too long and got them hemmed for $12 and now they’re perfect. Especially if you’re every buying pants a size or two up to get the correct fit, getting them hemmed makes a huge difference

This man knows what's up, getting pants hemmed is so much cleaner of a look than rocking them cuffed, cut, or stacked a whole bunch (to me at least)
