Let's be honest, you can definitely find jeans that fit, the problem is the one's that fit look fuckin' ugly as shit and no one want's to go out at night looking like some slum lord.
If you can find jeans in an athletic cut, stock up. I can never seem to find any in my size though.
You can buy belaxed fit jeans as these will always have bigger thigh openings, but don't look real pressed for out in.
I've had good success with straight leg jeans. There are several styles from 7 for All Mankind I like and for every day jeans I wear levi's 501 or 514. Another brand to check out is Lucky Brand, who make a tailored cut...still trying to find some in my size that i don't have to order online and pay ridiculous mark-ups.
