 Posted: Wed, Mar 23 2011, 8:31 am Post subject: MY DH CAN'T FIND PANTS! (BIG & TALL) IDEAS?? |
| |
For starters, why is the only fashion category under Women's Health? And the man doesn't need beauty! LOL Anyhoo...
My DH can't find any pants without looking like Abe Lincoln or like he's wearing Capri pants. Any ideas? He is a 40 waist and a 33 inch leg. He needs nice dressy black pants for work. I'm looking for something silky-feeling--**not** Dockers. Because is is 6 foot 4 inches and most of the weight is in the tummy, I don't like pleats.
I don't have the money to go all over the place and I can't sew. We tried Macy's (they didn't even have his size), Men's Wearhouse didn't work. And now that we're OOT, I have no clue of where to go!!
Any online shops? I'm afraid of spending money on something that I don't trust or know the material of, but I trust your judgments, because you have all been right on w/ your other advice!!
Thanks in advance for helping me do the impossible!

I guess what I mean by silky is that I don't want black khakis. Does that make sense? I guess "silky" was the wrong word. I might have to take him to Syms. We moved OOT, and there's only one SYMS, about a 45 minute drive, so it'll be a hit or miss.
I think Rochester Big & Tall has a website. Were you happy with them? And what is Marcy? Do you think they are good? Maybe I should call them. Do they specialize in Big & Tall? (Thanks for answering my questions.) I'm just so elated that after 2 years, he might have a job.

| Target has dress pants too. My husband is very tall and he finds there. I would assume they have big and tall as well.

Ok, thanks. I'll try that, too.
PS, I have links to a great site for track suits/pajamas/sweatpants for big and tall if anyone needs. It's just those darn nice pants! I also told DH that he is not allowed to look like he's wearing capris.

Im wondering why its so hard to find. My husband is 6.3 and he never has issues. Im not sure where you live, but there is this store in Lakewood, someone sells in his house, that is very reasonably priced and he has a nice selection...

We moved OOT where people dress like bumpkins. They wear khaki pants and jeans everywhere. People don't dress up for work or anything. At his new job, the NY boss commented that he wanted DH to bring the place up a noch (sp?), and I want him to dress nicer as well. At this place, the men walked around in sandals and drabby khakis.

As a side note, I wish my office were like that. I wouldnt mind coming to work in my Crocs and snood with my jean skirt and sweatshirt!

We have had a lot of luck at casual male big and tall.
Also, surprisingly at CONWAY, they seem to carry it.
