You ain’t missing much. I wonder if this ad is circulating amongst such people who would like to foster the impression that America is at war with Islam. Double plus un-good.

Lands’ End sells pants with custom hemming for no extra charge, in quarter-inch increments from 26" to 36". Mr Neville has the same inseam as you do, so I end up buying most of his pants from Lands’ End. They’re good quality pants, too. We’re both geeks who live in our own little world totally ignorant of fashion, so I can’t speak for how fashionable they are.
Suck it up. Try **tall **and thin. (I can occasionally find pants that fit okay, but dress shirts are nigh-impossible. I’m about to bit the bullet and just have a few made, because I’m sick of the darts always ending up like six inches above my actual breasts.) The only thing worse than tall and thin is tall and fat. Moral of the story: it’s easier to have clothes taken in than to have them let out.
