6'6" and 26.5" quads, here. Finding pants can be a bit of a challenge, but my list so far with jeans is
- Urban Pipeline relaxed fit. They're pretty much skater kid baggies, and it's doubtful that even a powerlifter could fill them out entirely. ~ $25.00
- Levi's 550 relaxed straight. Not too baggy, not too expensive. ~ $30.00
- Levi's 505 regular fit. Check 'em first, since they're a little bit on the slim side. Same cost as above.
- Lucky Brand 181 relaxed straight. Fits like the Levi's 550, more comfortable for riding, mid-rise waist. $50 if you catch a sale. $100+ if not (and while they're comfy, they're not
that great)
