      I diaper button can happen even if you don't have a big gut. I think it has to do with body proportions also. Usually low rise is the way to go in order to avoid it. My gut is definitely under control I weigh more than you and some cuts like the 888 will give me a bit of sag because all.my pairs no matter where I place them they naturally gravitate towards my hips. I primarily wear 634's i got 28.5 inch thighs and i have no sag. Having said that I can only wear 634's, and 888's do to my built. The rest the thighs are way too small.

          @wjw I honestly thought this thread was telling us that you can prevent a saggy butt when you have a big gut!

              I was in the same boat. Jeans with zero stretch really make you come to terms with your body type and proportions.

              If I were you I’d try an 888. The longer rise isn’t just to get higher on your waist, it’s also helpful in giving more room in the crotch. Both of those helped me keep my jeans from pulling down my ass crack every time I sat down. Unfortunately the saggy butt is really only fixed with weight loss or super stretchy jeans. I tried sizing up in 666 and 777, but like most big dudes I have big calves. I couldn’t fit my calves past the knee of those fits.

              Food for thought: if you have non-stretch jeans with a tight fitting seat, you will likely be very uncomfortable when seated. You either need stretch or room.

                    Could be, definitely alternative.

                    But it depends on the lead. Ziggy and the Saggy Butts could be singer-songwriter.

                          @Karol I have the SST in 777, and the stretch definitely helps, though I think SST in a different cut would help even more. I know if I scour the forums I can probably find the answer, but do you know a rough ETA when the SST is coming back and if it's coming back in all the cuts besides 634/1955?

                            @Go-For-Chill I'm interested in trying a high rise. Even 30lbs lighter I still have the sag problem, but I've never tried a high rise pant before.

                                @wjw SST in 634 and size to account for stretch (ie, tight at the waist when new).

                                Alternatively buy 666 in SST and size for the thighs. The waist will likely be big. But the top block will be trim so it won’t matter.

                                      But the advice for the 666 stands. My best fitting jeans have always been 666 sized up to fit the thighs.

                                        I second the recommendation for the 888 cut. Size TTS. Wear a belt. The rear rise will prevent the crack showing. The way the cut will go below the gut and high enough over the butt to help against the sag. You might want to find a size 38 with a 37”-37.5” waist. I think that will be a great choice for you.

                                          I have both the 888 and 666 both fit great. I cannot wear a low rise, they feel uncomfortable on me.
                                          I find the 888 my best fit in IH jeans but 666 is close. In my other brands I always look for a rear rise of 17inches whenever possible.
