That's what I used to wear. Levi's 34/34 athletic fit or straight leg regular fit. Or bootcut cargo pants with flex.

The problem is they don't all fit the same. Some colors were too tight. Other's had low hanging crotches. Plus finding 34/34's in stores is almost impossible.

Now I'm 32/34 at this weight and everything fits great.

I could fit into some jeans when my legs were thick but they almost never looked good.

It was bad back when I was really into squats but the style then was to have very roomy pants, to hide your "candy" as a gay dude once said, and a tight shirt.

Now, everything is super tight with spandex, including chinos.

Anyway, where I grew up there were a lot of Italian guys and they were wear these striped "Zoomba" pants that looked like something a clown would wear because they could not buy pants. If you had zoombas and a string tank top, you were a top tier Guido!

I now buy hiking pants instead of chinos because they have more room.

Unless the style changes, I assume that I will have to stick to my current pants collection until death.

That is not true.

Your body is a series of braces and pullies and strength needs to balance all over.

For instance, if your lower back muscles are weak and your arms strong, you will have weakness in a support area. Your legs are a base of what supports your entire body. Weak hamstrings can greatly affect your back as well.

When I am lifting I lift basically equal or proportional weight for all body parts.

You can hold a lot of mass in your lower body. So build your legs and you can be lean and say 20 pounds heavier.

I like to eat so I hit my legs.

Yup. That's how I looked lean at 6'0 200lb when I was training my legs hard. You can hold a chit ton of mass in your quads and glutes.

I think the confusion remains about what is proportionate. For example quads are probably the muscle you can grow the largest in comparison to the rest of your body if you wanted to, it’s very easy to get to the ‘too big’ leve for advanced bodybuilders. Once my quads got to a certain size i just maintained them, they’re muscular but not massive.
Remember the guy that gave up? Neither does anybody else.
