small waist-big butt-long rise-nothing fits

[otterhound]

I hope you guys can give me some advice. I have a 29" waist. I am 38" measured around the butt. I have a 12" rise. This combination has made it impossible for me to find off the rack clothes that fit.

If they fit in the waist - they ride up my butt like a thong. If they fit in the seat - they are 3" too big in the waist. If I try to have the waist taken in - the pockets pull together too closely.

I've gone to made-to-measure for suits. But I really don't want to spend that kind of money for casual pants.

Any suggestions?

You don't happen to play rugby?

I have the same problem. I hover around 29-31 waist and my ass is 36" around. It's pretty hard to find modern that fits such a figure.

I've found that vintage trousers consistently have the rise and butt-allowance that we chaps need. 12" rise is pretty standard from what i've encountered. What, may i ask, is your inseam measurement?

Vintage trousers in your waist size are not thin on the ground.

My inseam is around 32". I'm not sure I understand when you say "not thin on the ground"?[huh]

You guys measured your asses.

Apologies. "Thin on the ground" means rare. British idiom, maybe not US?

So, trousers (vintage) not rare in your waist size.

Seems like your inseam is pretty common in vintage trousers of 29-31 waist too. I usually need to have them shortened when i pick 'em up. You should have some luck. Try maybe www.americanvintageclassics.com ...

Had to. Otherwise you couldn't appreciate what a lard ass I am.

Necessary for custom made trousers. A friendly tailor will provide such measurements ...
