If I could find them, I would. Then again, at 6’5", It shouldn’t be all that surprising. A 34" inseam is a wee bit on the short side for me, but since I can never find anything any longer, it is what I make due with.
I’m 6’5" and haven’t had too much trouble finding 36 inch inseam Levi’s and Wranglers. I always pick up 1 or 2 pair everytime I’m in the US since they’re less than half the price I’d pay in the UK. Back in the day before pre-washed jeans, I used to get them with a 38 inseam so they would shrink up to 36.
I was shopping for my boyfriend last month and found the same thing, **Finagle.**Lots of 40s, no 34s. Is there really an abundance of hefty guys with short legs, or is it more because heavy men tend to wear their pants slung low, under their bellies?
Try the J C Penny Tall & Big Men catalog.
All real cowboys wear 36" to cover their boot’s top while in the saddle.
a-hem, see my earlier post …
Women’s sizes frequently come in either odd or even numbers, starting at 0. Some store in the US, like Express and the Limited, have both (1, 2, 3, 4, etc), and in some places you can find 00. Also, some women’s jeans come in the “normal” sizing, with length and inseam. My favourites are Silver jeans, which come with a waist size, but no variation on inseam sizes.
I’ve seen the same thing when shopping for my size jeans and I’m pretty averaged size (5’10", 195lbs). My first thought was “Jeezus, don’t any regular sized men shop here?” and then my second thought was “I think all the regular sized men DID shop here. Right before I dropped in.”
In other words, that huge stack of jeans in weird sizes isn’t there because that’s all they carry, it’s because the sizes worn by 99% of people get bought up really fast and the rest is what’s left over.
Ever since I figured out what size and style fits me I just order 'em online and save a bundle. And never have to worry abou them being out of stock.
