Breeches for Thunder Thighs

My thighs are too darn big. I'm right now wearing size 54 Uhlmann World Cup breeches, trimmed about 2" at the waist for it to fit. Can anyone suggest any breeches (FIE or otherwise) that are cut baggy at the thighs?

How about the Uhlmann 'Olympia' (stretchy) range..?

Sorry, I have no other suggestions!

my knickers are the same. The legs and butt are right, but the waist I had sew it up to fit. Still alittle too big. Any advice on this thread would help me too.

I have a beer-belly (no nice way to say it), but muscular legs. I sent my measurements to LP for an FIE Atlanta uniform, and my knickers fit comfortably, but the thighs are very "blousy". I feel like a Renaissance Fair actor, but they fit and do what they need to do, so I really shouldn't complain too much.

I guess the moral of the story is that custom-made knickers might get you (close to) what you want.

My absolute fencing gear knickers are very poofy in the legs.

If no knickers will work out well for you, I know many companies will do custom orders. Purple Fencer on the forum here can send you a form for a custom made Uhlmann kit.
