Pants lengths

Why is it most pants come lin lengths like 28, 30, 32, 34, 36? Are there no odd number inseam length people? Or, I think half the people end up wearing the wrong length pants. Once in a while I find slacks in 31, never jeans.

Yes there are odd number inseam people. My ex was a 33. It was hard to find pants to fit him length-wise. Usually he went with a 34 just because too long is better than too short. JC Penny is about the only place that I could really find them…maybe once in a while in other stores.

Waist sizes, too.

All of you people can cry all you want about being in-between lengths, but just try to find pants with a 38 inseam and a 36 waist anwhere.

Have you nominated and/or voted for your favorite huggable Mullinator today?

I’m 6’2" and I have 32" inseam, I can’t imagine trying to find an inseam that long! Yeah I know… I have stubby legs, and all my height is in my back. On a side note, shoes don’t come in half sizes after 13, and they’re pretty hard to find in 12 1/2.

How does one ever figure how much they shrink?

Byron’s a 28/32…too skinny for the men’s section, too tall for the boy’s section. I’d rather have a root canal than go clothes shopping for him.

I’m a 27/34. It’s next to impossible to find jeans in that size, and the two pairs I have I treasure.

Now, finding anything other than jeans, like chinos, that’s just impossible. I need a size 2 waist with a 36" inseam… If anyone ever finds a pair, lemme know.

Damn, Lanna…considered taking up modeling? I hear you have to be really thin and tall for that. :slight_smile:

Hey, if you do it, you’d be able to have your pants made for you.


“…being normal is not necessarily a virtue. It rather denotes a lack of courage.”

Heck, forget about matching the waist & inseam. I had the worst time just finding anything in my waist size. I’m a 32, and whenever I go shopping, I have to dig through a mountain of 38s & 40-somthings. And don’t tell me I’m skinny… I am just near the upper limit on that new body mass-index-height-weight thingy. If that’s such a popular size that it’s always sold out, why haven’t the stores’ buyers wised up & adjusted their ordering practices? HUH?

Then once I find a pair of jeans that fit, I go dig through the mountain of XXX-large shirts in search of a medium.

With jeans, I’ve had to resort to turning up the cuffs an inch. Doesn’t look too good, but what do I care at home?

I guess I’m lucky… As a fat guy in a little coat, I am able to find pants in size 40x34 in a lot of places. Usually, I can even by them in 42x36 so they are really comfortable. Thank you, oh baggy pant wearing masses of teen-age Korn worshippers! Did you know that if you play Korn Ass-backwards, it commands you to go and exterminate carp with environment friendly chemicals? 'strue. BTW, Korn kicks ass.

True story. A lot of gangsta-wannabes wear their trousers half-way down their butts. A woman I work with was at a stop light and one of these kids was crossing the street. His pants fell down.

Geez, I wish I was there! I could do my Jerry Lewis impression: “Hey! Hey, your pants fell down! Hey!”
