Some people just cannot wear flat front trousers ....
this may be true in your case, and no matter how much you like them, they may not be for you. I would go into a store like BB, who makes both flat front an pleated trousers. Try on both (Madison comes in both flat front and pleated), and see how they fit. There is probably nothing you can do about the ones you have, but you don't have to keep buying trousers that don't fit. When arguments occur on this forum about flat front vs. pleats, the answer is to buy what fits. Both styles are correct.
