So, I like a tailored / slimmer profile on my jeans. Not full on skinny jeans, but tailored / tapered. I loathe baggy or even moderately baggy jeans. Nice, clean straight lines that work for the office or out with friends.
The problem? I have huge, muscular calves. Just the way I'm built. So, when I find jeans that fit perfectly in the seat and thighs -- not too much bagginess (who likes the "diaper" look?), inevitably, the lower legs are too tight on my calves. I want to avoid looking like I'm wearing black tights from the knees down. For example, Bonobo's Travel Jeans in their tailored fit (their slimmest cut) are perfect in the seat and thighs, but too tight below the knee. Their next fit up ("slim") is better on my calves, but too baggy in the seat and thighs.
So, any guys with big calves found a style of jeans (preferably in dark rinses) that offers a slim / tapered look but which can accommodate bigger calves and not end up being overly baggy in the seat and thigh? It sounds like a pipe dream, eh?
Not looking for big & tall. I'm 5' 10", 185 lbs.
