Serious question chaps, does anyone else have real trouble finding jeans that fit them?
I'm not a super trendy bloke so my jeans may not be the stupidly expensive one that's the cool kids wear. But they aren't really the cheapest either. Levi's, Superdry etc
But nothing fits me very well. My legs are 32 long and my waist is about 34. Ah that'll be 34/32 jeans then. Nope. I have fairly chunky thighs (hey it's all muscle!) Far too tight around the thighs so they don't even get to the waist. Legs try a 36 waist then which is fine around the thighs but really loose around the waist so they fall down. It's seems 35 inch waist aren't too common, so it's a toss up between too tight or too loose. Some cuts are better like 'boot cut' but not all makes come is different shapes.
Anyone else stuck like me?

Yup. Nature of the beast I'm afraid. All manufacturers have different 'cuts' around the hip/waist/top leg area. I've always had to fart about trying on tons of pairs before finding one that suits due to having large, strong quads and calves. The last pair I bought were from and in a final reduction sale @ £17 from over £100. Just need to keep you're eye out, but from experience, avoid the likes of USC/River Island/Topman/ Burton as they tend to be a lot smaller/tighter than normal. There's always Jacamo....

34 waist i wish and i am not fat I dont like buying jeans . Use tesco £15 range 38 waist and 32 leg and they always seem to fit me fine . I remember back in the 80s my sisters use to buy new jeans . They would put them on and get into a bath full of water . The jeans used to shrink and fit them better .

If it helps my waist is app. 34 and my thighs are 27, I wear boot cut jeans and Ted Baker, and Firetrap all seem to be OK. My inside leg is 34 though so that may make the overall cut a bit looser. Shirts are a pita, but try jumping a collar size or two and choosing slim fit (I'm guessing you have the same problem as me Szkom). My recent best fits are Paul Smith and DKNY for work, but they seem to work well with smart jeans too.

Many moons ago I think it was Wrangler who did a 'baggy' jean. Might be worth checking.

Another one here for Fat Face and White Stuff jeans, only because the other half worked at these places so I got cheap jeans. I'm a 34/30 and find that the 34/short seems to work best for me, along with a belt and that's it.

Diesel jeans are the way to go. Army and Navy stock them.

The issue with Tommu jeans is they are a bit flimsy as the material is too thin. Look at Diesel, Larky style, they work well with trainers or boots and you wont look like your dad

Chris. I have the same issue. (Most of the jeans I've tried were tight around the thigh.) I was in a Levi's shop and they gave me a pair or 751's. Despite being 'straight' cut, they fit really well. Give them a go. http://www.levi.com/GB/en_GB/men-jeans/p/007510085

Howies? Only a few shops but available on-line. They have a good returns policy, so buy a few styles and sizes and see which fits the best - return the others. ( www.howies.com, in case you hadn't guessed)

Yep - nothing in any of the retail chains will fit me for the same reason. Get down to TK Max - I found 3 pairs of a particular make there that fit me fine.
Otherwise Gap / Levi's store is your best bet.

Another vote for Howies stuff, no idea on fit but now they're back to being their own independent company the quality of their products is back to its best.
Also good to support a small UK based company
