Worn Topman super skinny stretch 26inch waist for the last 10 years.. they're not that skinny though

I do have various proper jeans and chinos but they're nowhere near as comfy as the super stretch
26’ waist?

I think you mean topshop

I think I have a 26" thigh, never mind waist.

Gap do something for everyone, from skinny through to standard.

Never thought I'd say this, but I purchased a pair of stretch jeans from there recently. Absolutely fantastic. Was fed up with buying jeans that looked spot on, only to end up tearing the arse out of them every time I did something remotely energetic. The stretch ones are identical to normal jeans, but with just a little bit of give in them, so much more comfortable too. I'm getting old.
I've bought the £10 stretch regular/straight jeans for ages from primark. love em. they last about a year at which point it's completely worn out in between the crotch area.

Do they do a line called 'Fact Hunt' as that might suit me.

Dark Levis 510 skinny - worn in a hot bath and properly shrunk to fit.
In all honesty they are not quite as well fitted as the GAP pairs I used to wear but typically when they needed replacing they were discontinued...


There is a big difference between skinny jeans and skinny (ie, spray on) jeans which look more like leggings

Skinny jeans are passe...try mens horseriding breeches.
Popped in to work on the way home from the horses, and let's just say i was subject to sexual innuendo from a few of the female staff that would have got a man straight in front of HR.

+1 I'm 46 and do wear skinny jeans and chinos but draw the line at the very tight stuff. I've got pretty slim legs so what would be skin tight on some look fine on me imo. Personally don't see a problem with still following fashion trends (within reason) in your 40's but each to their own.
Somebody recommended Nudie for jeans a few years back and theyre the only ones i buy now.

Same. They are the only jeans I ever buy, you know exactly what you're getting fit wise and they come in lots of different shades/wash types.

They frustrate the hell out of me, I've got big calfs meaning I can't get most of them on. Massively cuts down choice when shopping.

Skinny jeans on anyone over 30 look ridiculous in my opinion. Diesel Waykee or Larkee for me, straight leg.

Is that because most men you know/see, over thirty, in skinny jeans are overweight?
