Invented in the 1800s and made popular through Western Hollywood films in the 1930s, jeans really have stood the test of time. Still widely popular today in the 21st century, and worn by pretty much everyone, jeans – pants made from denim or dungaree – are now a fashion staple.
The only trouble with jeans is finding a pair that fits properly; a pair that truly flatters your body and feels comfortable enough to wear all day long. This can be especially hard if you’re a man with a big and/or tall frame, as many denim brands don’t typically cater to those of us without modelesque measurements.
However, here at DMARGE, we believe everyone, no matter their size, is entitled to look their best when it comes to fashion, so we’ve done the research for you big and tall gents out there, and have tracked down which brands make high-quality stylish jeans in bigger and/or taller sizes.

Hugo Boss

Price: From $178
Sizes: 30-40
German luxury fashion house, Hugo Boss is renowned for their opulent range of clothing, accessories, footwear, and fragrances. Founded in 1924, and with a very controversial history (they produced Nazi uniforms during World War II), after founder Hugo Boss’ death in 1948, the company turned to men’s suits. Today, the company is a global fashion empire and produces men’s & women’s fashion lines as well as fragrances (and we promise they are no longer affiliated or condone Hitler’s actions in any way, shape, or form!).
Surprisingly, for a large luxury fashion brand, Hugo Boss actually does cater to bigger and taller gentlemen. Their Big & Tall collection is tailored to provide a perfect fit and effortless BOSS look for everyone who’s not a ‘standard’ size. Hugo Boss’ Big & Tall collection has a small range of jeans that go up to size 48.
