There is almost nothing I hate more than buying jeans.It becomes this long drawn out ordeal of searching not just for the right size, but the right fit and of course, the right price - do I really want to spend upwards of $150 on denim?
First, size: Finding a pair of 32/30s is nigh on impossible (and what I really need is 31/28s - but that's just never gonna happen)! Why do stores think all short people are fat? Why can I only find 30" inseams with waists of 34" and above? Do all tall people have 28" and 30" waists?
Then comes fit: I don't do boot cut, slim fit, straight leg, mid rise or easy fit. I don't even do relaxed! I can't. They just don't fit over my thighs. Loose, baggy or carpenter, that's about it.
And finally, price: At some point during this 'sode I throw my hands in the air, and announce to anyone within earshot, that if I can just find a pair, any pair that fits I'll pay over $200 if I have to!So, no Von Dutch, True Religion, Lucky, 7 For All Mankind, Diesel or G Star. They're just not made for us short, thick-thighed boyz! So what do I end up with? Mavi, Mavi Max Wide Full leg & seat to be precise. In other words, "Husky Boy" jeans! Only I fill them out completely, ass, thigh et al.
The one saving grace... they're cheap as all hell!!!

I feel your pain, bro. I am wearing the fat boy jeans as I type.
Mavi's ain't that cheap! Though I have a pair of our namesake's - Mavi "Matt" jeans - in fact I am wearing them now! They fit great on the butt! ;-)
