Somebody tell me what jeans to buy: largish size, long legs!

Need a new pair of jeans - field trip next month. Have tatty pairs for raft building etc but need at least one pair which are vaguely respectable.

I'm size 20 & nearly 6'.

Evans are all too festooned with trim & nonsense, Dorothy Perkins only do big sizes in bootcut or flare.

I quite fancy something slouchy with lots of pockets...definitely NOT tight, did that in the 80s when skinny.

Must be dark blue or black.

Any suggestions? tia

New Look.

Men's ones? I am 6' and a size 18-ish - I have some lovely white linen trousers from Next (not what you're after I know, but they have loads of styles) in size 38 waist, extra long - they are gorgeous.

These? They do XL (35") up to 38 waist or just L (33") in 40W

I bought a nice pair of jeans (£12) from Matalan yesterday - called "boyfriend" - long and quite wide leg

The women's XL are only 33 though

(I have to get men's anyway because I am barrel-shaped )

Beauregard · 27/04/2007 23:19

I am 6ft2 and they are a generous length.

WendyWeber · 27/04/2007 23:21

These look good if you happen to have a waist!

Beauregard · 27/04/2007 23:21

WendyWeber · 27/04/2007 23:23

Why ? They are lovely - much nicer and more sensible than long tall bleeding sally's

twinsetandpearls · 28/04/2007 15:08

twinsetandpearls · 28/04/2007 15:09

I love cartmel, if it after the schools have broken up would love to go!

WendyWeber · 28/04/2007 15:16

Yes, you went in my car

littlelapin is visiting ILs the last week of July - she mentioned it on the thread about the Big London Picnic (because she will be driving back down that day) - her ILs live in Cartmel so it would be a good place to go, I think Jools is up for it too - nothing decided yet though.

Will try to find London Picnic thread for you.
