My husband is 5'11"... he wears a 30 length. It sounds like you have short legs.
Hey -- there's not a lot of pants in petites out there. And when I try on regular pants, the waistband is right under my bra band. We all have weird bodies. If high rise mom jeans ever come back in, I'll be covered to my collarbone in them.
Thinking -- I know in womens' -- Lands End has options to hem to length free of charge. Check them out.
It sounds like you don't have a typical body. You have short legs.
Abnormal? In a way, if you think like a manufacturer who wants to sell the most items possible to the most people possible. So you can either special-order pants or have your off-the-rack pants hemmed.
I am 5'10, male and I can't seem to find mass produced pants that fit my body.
Ideally, I would be wearing 33.5 inch waist and 27 inch length. There is no such size available. I have to settle for 34 inch (no big deal here at all) and 28 inch length. What's worse is that 34/28 are not common at all. It is even rarer than 34/29, which is rare.
The most common size is 34/32. Based on my body proportion, I would have to be 10 inch taller to fit into that, assuming 5 inch proportioned into above waist and 5 inch below waist (27 + 5 = 32). That would mean there are a bunch of 6'8 tall men walking around.
Am I alone?
Well your not alone in a way EVERY pair of jeans and trousers I've ever bought I've had to get taken up!
Get 34/30s and have take them to a tailor. Good tailor is totally worth it.
Yep
