After much searching and squeezing into jeans that don’t fit
over my thighs I’ve finally found a nice pair of Indigo selvedge jeans that
actually kind of almost fit: the Naked and Famous Weird Guy Stretch Selvedge. The fabric is 98% cotton and 2% Spandex, I
was concerned about buying anything other than 100% cotton but I have to say
that after four days in the pants the stretch is allowing the fabric to relax a
bit, which translates to comfort.

Naked and Famous Weird Guy with Thorogood Boots |
Last week at the Seattle Bike Expo I was showing customers
how I relaxed the fit in the thighs in my G1 Pants, and more than one guy said
that was appreciated as most pants – especially jeans – simply don’t fit folks
who ride bikes – our thighs are too big as compared to our waist
circumference.
There seems to be no shortage of high end
selvedge denim jeans out on the market, but strikingly few are made to fit
anyone other than a skinny nineteen year old.
Perhaps Greenlite Heavy Industries will have to come out with a jean
made especially for people with thighs
