They are in business of making money, right? Making more money means selling more products to more people, right? How does your logic make sense then?

They make pants longer because you can tailor them smaller but not bigger. And yes, you have short legs. Just buy the smallest length they have and you can find someone to tailor them for a few bucks per pair.

It has always been this way. At least all of my life. Long inseam? How many people are that tall and that thin? Find a good dry cleaner to do your alterations. You could make the mistake of asking your wife, not to say that she won't do it, but if there is a problem, it is so much easier and typically free to take them back to the dry cleaner to redo them. Trust me. The six bucks you spend to have them done, is a bargain. Just the way it is.

Because fit is about proportions.

Is your torso longer than your legs? That may be part of the problem.

Are my legs so short that I can't even buy short guy pants because it's just too short for companies to make?

According to you, yes.

What do you want to accomplish from this thread? You've been given good advice. You've ranted.

Go now in peace to find pants that fit.

This falls into the category of life isn't always easy...I have wide hips and a small waist which means I have to buy pants that are way too big at the waist so I can get them over my hips!!! I usually either have them taken in or wear a belt...that's why rich people have their clothes tailor made...

29 waist 32 inseam

Its hard to find jeans that would fit me properly ( I have a small muscular butt). There's some jeans that are 28x32 I can fit into that are baggy.
