Jeans comparable to Levi's Silver Tab Baggy or older 569s?

Jimmy King

So my preferred pants style hasn't changed since the 90s, I still prefer that old baggy skater look and feel to my clothes. I only need new jeans every 5-6 years and it seems every other time I need them, Levi's has stopped selling silver tabs, which are what have always been the most comfortable to me. Normally there's something that's close enough that I can buy, like 505s or 569s, but those have all gone to some sort of horrible lower waist cut which is really uncomfortable and exposes a bit more of me than anyone wants.

What is on the market today that fit like the old Silver Tabs or 569s? Jeans that sit properly at the waist and have a ton of room in the thighs and preferably a straight leg. Levis 560s look like they might be the closest thing available right now, but no one locally stocks them for me to be sure. I'm 6'3" and about 240 lbs with a 40" (and slowly shrinking!) waist, so while places like Pac Sun sell the right style of jeans, they don't carry anything that fits. Are there any other brands/styles that I should look at which do come in appropriate sizes.

505s are hardly "baggy skater", but if they're close enough, look up Diamond Gusset regular fit jeans. They fit like old 505s: sits squarely at the waist, straight leg, but roomier than the newer 505s.

For something even roomier, look for Duluth ballroom jeans. Snigger all you want at the name, but they fit all your requirements: sit at the waist, very roomy at the thighs, straight leg.

yeah, 505s were more of a 3rd choice when nothing else was in stock in my size... probably a waist size up to get a bit more room. My preference has always been silver tabs then 569s and that's all I've got right now, Silver Tabs and 569s, but they're old and have holes or heavily worn spots where there will soon be holes. Wasn't a problem when I was working a job where I wore khakis 5 days/week, but now that I'm in jeans 7 days/week with my new job, I need to look a bit less like a bum in my jeans.

I'm looking at those jeans you recommended now. These sound like what I'm looking for, plus the name is awesome. The talk of big ass front pockets remind me of old Jnco jeans, which I also liked before they started getting crazy and over the top with their logos, and I don't think exist anymore.
