Do these jeans fit me well?
Sorry about the dirty mirror, it's paint from previous years that won't come out.

Pee jar aside, yes. However, they don't flatter you. The thighs look ridiculously oversized.
And please understand, I'm a proponent of straight leg or bootcut (when functionally appropriate) and not the current trend of men wearing borderline 'girlfriend' jeans.
While there are plenty of denim choices out there, I would almost always recommend one of two options:

While there are plenty of denim choices out there, I would almost always recommend one of two options:
- Levi's STF 501, size down such that when you put them on prior to soaking, they are tight in the waist (I prefer pelvis-fracturing tightness), ensure you size up at least 2" in inseam though
- Turn 'em inside out
- Put them in the tub, fill it with hot water, leave them for an hour
- Hang to dry in the shower for a couple hours
- Lay flat on towel, cover with second towel, walk on the top towel to squeeze out water
- Turn them rightside out and repeat 4
- Wear repeatedly, apply febreeze liberally and use a clothes brush regularly
- Consider washing after six months using a cold water soak and woolite dark
- APC New Standard, size down 2"
- Either do as above or don't wash them for 6 months and then do the cold water/woolite

The OP is employed by a drug-testing lab. He took a moment out of his coffee break to start this thread.
I wouldn't worry about the glimpse of pee in the background. It could be worse; the OP could work at a sperm bank.

Damn that sounds like a lot of work. Or the OP could move over to the Trad side, buy some khakis from O'Connell's (they're on sale now), and call it a day.
I got exhausted reading the above-quoted instructions. However, the term "pelvis-fracturing tightness" made the effort worthwhile.
Hi
They do seem baggie in the thighs, but I guess it depends on when you plan to wear them and with what you planned to wear them with.
I typically wear seven of mankind (slimmy) or Tom Ford Slimfit with sports coats or a dress shirt. My Levi’s 511 (slim fit tapered leg) or 514 (classic) go best with a T-shirt, polo or flannel. My Hugo Boss jeans go with nothing.

Drink! Good thing I'm on vacation, otherwise that could be painful on a Sunday morning.
(Is anyone else playing the AAAC Dr Pain/Tom Ford drinking game, or just me? I realize it's not for the weak-livered, but I hate to think I'm playing it alone.)

Jeans are a tough subject on a forum like this especially if you are below 30. This tends to be an older, more traditional crowd and even the idea of wearing jeans is anathema to many of the members.
My suggestion is spend some time on TOF where they have a streetwear and denim thread and where you could spend weeks with people who will understand and respect all of the nuances available in today's Jean market.

At this rate I think we should propose a new cocktail; the "Tom Ford".
Edit: Holy Cow! I was just kidding, but apparently not off the mark.

I can’t say for sure, as your tee shirt is blocking the waist, and we have only the front view of you without shoes on.
Get dressed and tuck in the tee so it doesn’t hide the waist, put on some footwear, and have someone take front, side, and rear pics of you.
All I get now is a suggestion of baggy thighs, and very tapered legs. That may not be the case, as it may just be that you’re wearing a mid rise jean on your hips. If so then pull them up to where they belong. Or if you prefer wearing hip huggers buy a pair with a short rise that are meant to be worn that way. Either way you will avoid the crumpled thigh, saggy rear look. Unless they are cut that way and you are wearing them correctly. In that case they don’t fit well. But again not enough visual information to make a determination.

Wow. This thread presents us with some intriguing elements. Right off the bat we get a glimpse of a jar of urine. Then quickly OrvalJephcot contributes the memorable term "pelvis-fracturing tightness." And along comes JBierly to lyrically opine as follows:
"They look kind of baggy
"And like they are falling off you
"(Riding too low on your hips)."
Dr. Pain makes a house call to give us the linguistically weighty word "slimmy" and to invoke the ever-popular Tom Ford.
This is truly an inspiring thread-----
JEANS
(Sung to the tune of the 1969 hit song "Jean," by Oliver)
Jeans, jeans, I want slim jeans.
I'm just out of my teens
So loose jeans aren't for me.
Look at me and you'll see
Why I prefer skinny jeans.
Jeans, jeans--as slim as string beans--
Cling tightly to my thin thighs!
And please crush my hips 'til I'm blue in the lips.
Hurry to me, slimmy jeans.
All the jeans I have tried on billow and bag
And they ride really low on my narrow young hips.
I want jeans that encase me and that enhance me.
Oh jeans, jeans--flattering things.
(I've no M.D. so can't do Tom Ford.)
Amidst beakers of pee (no that isn't iced tea)
I'm yearning for you, skin-tight jeans.
Jeans...jeans.
Jeans--you're out there somewhere
While wafting through all my dreams.
I don't want to be chaste, so come flatter my waist.
Please rev up my life, skinny jeans.
