“If he can fit into 36” pants at 220 lbs, he must be a tall guy.”

He would have to be at least 6’ 8” tall.

I’m 6’ and weigh 176 and have a hard time getting into my size 36” pants. And those pants also have an elastic waist band.

I’m 6’3” and weight 230. I might get into a size 40” with an elastic band. That’s why I’m having a hard time believing this 220-pounder can fit into size 36.

I am 6’3” and weigh 265 and fit into size 38 clothes every day. Depends on whether it is fat or muscle.

I’m 6’0” and weigh 242 and wear size 36w 38L jeans from Old Navy (either loose or boot cut) but I require 38w 38L in dress pants. I have pretty big frame but do have a pot belly and no ass like Hank Hill :)

6’6’’, actually. I know one of these personally. He got up to 325 after he retired, but lost 80 pounds and then a few more in a year and a half. Now at 230 and still 6’6’’. 36 waist pants. No elastic. But he does have a bizarre delight in wearing 38s and showing off the gap. It’s very irritating.

Depends on body structure and even fitness. I'm about 176 myself and 5'11" - my pants are 34" and I have a little extra room in them. My body is muscular from working out (have a Bow Flex and an elliptical and use them often) for being 62 years old and my waist is lean w/o the extra "padding" that can add a few inches to an otherwise "properly-weighted" man.
