Land's End used to have the absolute best underwear. It was sized like other clothing, instead of 4-8. Of course, since I loved it, they haven't sold it for years.

( rarely restocked because THEY DON'T GET IT I would fire all district managers in Penney's , Walmart others just for not micro- managing cotton pick in SLACKS!!!!! This is simply dummies for Jeans you save 2-3 inches of fabric X 2 legs!!!! It saves hundreds of thousands just in product time weighted!!! You advertise your new feature thereby welcoming millions unable to hem ,unable to pay for hemming! Unable to HEM!! We HAVE to cut the extra crap you put on your jeans . My last bill was $20 for three Jeans !!! ( and they still bunched over my shoes lol. Hey big shots get a grip !!! Increase revenues by 5%' immediately, Hey Walmart ( smarty pants not) actually USE you supposedly neat re inventory system ( which sucks) and restock your 29" inseamed stuff ( which you neglect like the plague)? End of rant.
Why are you complaining, the clothing world is catered to you short, small footed people. Sounds like first world problems to me; "I can only find 30L jeans, and I need 29L." Try looking for 36L jeans, or any decent shoe in a 15.

Just as long as they are not bell bottoms. I have to shorten jeans all the time. When it was bell bottoms it sorta kinds worked. But the bells aren't supposed to start notably below the knees and look like a ruffle.

I'd cut off jeans just a bit too long and wear them to see where they showed wear from hitting the ground and hem accordingly.

I've settled for size 30 x 34 length, but I really need a 29 x 35. When I do find them, they're really expensive.

I can see why people with a short leg are frustrated.

Tell your tailor to keep the bottom hem and you should be fine.
