Dust'N Bottles 30 Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Looking for some costuming suggestions on pants for fat guys. (insert loose weight statement here) It seems that most of the pants / trousers marketed towards CAS have a high waist and do not agree with my large gut. Looking to see what brands, makers, or sources other big bellied cowpokes may know of. Thanks In Advance Link to post Share on other sites
Cholla 1,649 Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Have your persona be someone that was captured by Indians and wear a breechcloth, leggings, and longshirt. The breeze is quite refreshing on hot days. Link to post Share on other sites
Marshal Hangtree 2,137 Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Keep your eyes pealed in the Classified Section, Dust'N Bottles. I quite regularly see ads there for britches in very large sizes, and for very good prices most times. Link to post Share on other sites

Sparky Nelson 298 Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 I'm about 320 pounds, most of it in the front. This is what I ended up going with: http://www.wwmerc.com/cgi-bin/category.cgi?item=CM837-BK&type=store&category=3930 With suspenders they're quite comfortable. I had to hem them up because I'm nowhere near a 36" inseam, but the rough stitching job just adds to the cowboy flavor. (I guess. Nobody has complained.) Link to post Share on other sites

Chuck Would, SASS # 53289 44 Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 I was just looking at the Wild West Mercantile site. They have pants that go up to 54" waist and I only looked at the 1st couple three pairs. Not sure how large you need but...... Because of the high waist, you want a size larger than your actual waist size. You can email or call them. They are very helpful. Like I told my doctor. I'm in shape. Round is a shape!

Marshal Chance Morgun 1,118 Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Yes, I know jeans are frowned on in some circles, but I sometimes wear a pair of black Wranglers. Yes, I do also wear adult size pants from Wild West Mercantile also. Link to post Share on other sites

Hoss 1,413 Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 Try these. Get them a few inches long. Cut the bottoms off, use the material to make suspender tabs on the back. Cut off belt loops, sew on suspenders buttons and you are good to go. http://m.destinationxl.com/mens-big-and-tall-store/mens-casual-pants/harbor-bay-continuous-comfort-pants/cat140098/96965?pageType= Link to post Share on other sites

Warden Callaway 5,037 Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 Things you'd like to forget but can't. Year's ago the family went to a mountain man rendezvous. There was a guy there that was tall and very shinny dressed in a breechcloth, moccasins and headband. That's it. His white stick legs and sunken butt cheeks were shamelessly displayed.

Crusty Knees 28 Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 My shape is round, with a couple of legs sticking out. I bought a pair of pants that fit my waist, but the legs were flapping like I had batwing chaps on! So, my dear, lovely wife took pity on me and took in the legs so I wouldn't be swooshing when I walked so much. CK Link to post Share on other sites

Rolan Kraps, SASS # 24084 Life 375 Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 I wear Carharts. They are largely period correct. I add Suspender buttons from the sewing section of Walmart and you're good to go. I also wear "cop pants" Just google Police Uniform pants. They are similar to "Calv. pants".

Ramblin Gambler 1,598 Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 Yeah, most of them are designed to be worn high because that was the style. I surrendered and got a larger size and just wear them around my real waist (not the hips which I always thought was my waist). Turned out I like wearing the pants there better so I got some everyday pants in the same size and cut the same way and I'm more comfortable now. Link to post Share on other sites
