Where do you buy mens jogging trousers when you're not six foot tall?

I've been looking at stores online for inexpensive jogging bottoms for my husband but all the models are over 6 ft tall, and the fit is so skinny! Where do you go for normal sizes for not so thin men, any suggestions? I've just looked at Littlewoods online, unbelievable prices!

Amazon have a nice range, many reasonable.

My husband is short, 5'10.

He wears for easy pull on before breakfast to check his sheds.

i buy mens joggers in primark, i am only 5feet so need to take a bit off the bottom, i also buy the straight leg, my son is about 5-8 and the cuffed leg fits fine, they are only £6 and come in various colours, also wash up well. i buy the xl as i am a female who is size 22/24, they do them up to a 3 xl i think.

Usually buy my husband's from sports direct , he is 5'7" some can be a bit slim in the leg most aint. Also Damart & Ambrose Wilson have a good selection. I have bought from M& S previously but the last lot I ordered were very thin so I returned them.

When my fil went into a care home , they suggested jogging bottoms for him as they were elasticated . I got several pairs from primark .

NotSpaghetti Sat 15-Jul-23 16:55:27

What waist is he and how tall?

My grandsons wear joggers, aren't very tall but don't seem to have problems.

NotSpaghetti Sat 15-Jul-23 16:58:47

Inside leg is usually 29" for short leg.

Just looked and M&S do short leg joggers.
Different styles.

Thank you for your suggestions, I've now got a few more places to try. Not looking to spend too much, he wears them in the garage when he's fixing/welding/repairing various things, so they tend to get burnt or torn quickly. Boys and their toys!!

welbeck Sat 15-Jul-23 20:34:59

have you tried Poundland.

welbeck Sat 15-Jul-23 20:35:52

Primark's are good.
female friend of mine buys hers there, from the men's section.

Maggieanne Sat 15-Jul-23 20:43:38

Tried Poundland, good value, if you're tall and skinny! Ho-hum.

Nell8 Sat 15-Jul-23 20:46:19

Lands' End have some in different lengths

welbeck Sat 15-Jul-23 20:48:13

is he barrel shaped ?
that would cost more, i guess.

Maggieanne Sun 16-Jul-23 19:37:00

Thank you everyone, I'll take up some of your suggestions, I'm sure we'll find something!

DH found trousers to fit in Next. Not cheap but good quality
May I suggest overalls for your hubby if he wrecks his trousers.😂

I also found great ones in Lidl but they have to have them in ..M&S do short lengths especially in Scotland
I learned that because Scottish men are shorter than English, in general, places such as M&S have a short range here

I buy the women's equivalent of those . Absolutely great, so many different lengths, colours, sizes.

annodomini Sun 16-Jul-23 21:37:24

You will find jogging bottoms at Cotton Traders on line. They have a wide range of sizes, colours and styles.

SachaMac Sun 16-Jul-23 22:04:28

Chums do cheap joggers in different leg lengths, ok for working or just knocking around home/garden in.
As others have said M&S are also good but more expensive.

I’ve bought many pairs of men’s joggers in recent years from Matalan. They come in small/M/L/XL sizes and a choice of straight legged or cuffed.

They are nice quality and wash well and no ironing required. I buy the straight legged version in short length which is around 29” inside leg. Because of the absence of a cuff they are easy to shorten further which is necessary for my disabled relative who is of short stature.

They are priced around £12 per pair but Matalan often have 20% off a total of £30 spend so that’s a good time to stock up.

Damart do joggers for men. They have various leg lengths.

25Avalon Mon 17-Jul-23 10:20:32

Cotton Traders already suggested do some joggers in leg size, I think the smallest is 29”, and waist size. They have a sale on at the moment so you may find something suitable and not expensive.

My husband lives in those.
I must have bought 40 pairs over the past 25 years.
He is a short man, bless him

FannyCornforth Mon 17-Jul-23 10:32:52

PS I’ve just worked out that I’ve probably bought over a hundred pairs shock
