Transcript

For heavier set individuals, finding pants in your size can be one of the most common obstacles you face. So here are four pant recommendations I often give out to my clients. First and foremost are the Gorilla Cuts by Ben Davis. Many have noted that they are a poly blend, but for the sizing options and for the price tag, they're kind of unbeatable. Next on my list are Buck Mason's Big Chino. A lot of people know and love the Giant Fit Chino from J. Crew, and these serve as a more well constructed option that comes in a size forty, which I don't believe is offered by the giant fit chino that J. Crew has. Next, we are moving into jeans. And for my first recommendation, I would go with the thirties jeans from TCB. These offer a classic nineteen thirties cut for a very affordable price. And best better certainly not least, continuing with jeans, we have the Pioneer from the long haul. These are continuing that classic nineteen thirties cut in kind of a medium price range. Just because finding pants in your size is hard to do, doesn't mean that it's impossible. You just need to know where to look.
