Being of the tall, lean and lanky "rock climber" build, I find it pretty much impossible to find guys jeans that fit... it's always been a compromise, often having to sacrifice having a baggy looking rear for leg length. When did you last see guys jeans with a 26 or 27 inch waist and a 34 inch leg? Guys jeans always feel like bloody cardboard too, and I've yet to find a pair that doesn't get misshapen either (ie. even baggier looking than they started off!).
I'm still experimenting and searching for the right style that is not overtly female, but has the right proportions for my body type. The only style I have found so far, and that does not leave me with an embarrassing bulge is a pair of (stretch) Miss Sixty Harriett's - 25W 34L - plain medium blue, not the pale/bleached two-tone ones. I've had some favourable responses from female friends - the unique seam styling on the Harriett's make my legs look as long as they are, and my butt looks firm. And they happen to be the most comfortable jeans I have ever worn. I still need to find a style that's a bit less overtly female than these though, as much as I do like themmmm.
(I actually get more negative remarks for my baggy-butt guys jeans than I do the M60's)
As with any type of clothing, pick the style, cut and SIZE wisely, and if you have the shape to make it work, wear what you like!
