I was always 5'-10" and for work I always work a 38" waist with 29" inseam. I can wear a 30" inseam but oftentimes I find myself on a construction site and the last thing I want is pants to long picking up mud.
I will turn 70 in a little over a year from now.
Earlier this month I visited the doctor and they said I was 5'-8 1/2" tall even though my drivers license always said I was 5'-10" That and I determined my pants should have a 27" to 28" inseam not 29" I always had. For comfort on the job I would prefer 27" with 28" on more formal clothing.
I can not believe I am shrinking!
Have you shrunk as you got older and, if so, by how much? This sucks!
I vividly remember the day I walked into my mother's house for a visit and for the first time in my life I was eye-level with her. She was in her late 70s at the time. I am only 5'3" and my mother was always 5'6" (never grew as tall as either of my parents) so it was very obvious she had shrunk. So far I am maintaining my 5'3" stature.
I was always 5'10." A few months ago I was at the dr's office and the nurse asked how tall I was. I said "Ya know, I've always gone by 5'10" but now that I'm almost 60 I'll bet I'm closer to 5'9" by now. So, she takes my height and says: "Nope, you're still 5'10"
We shrink as we age, and the smaller/older we get, the bigger car we drive.
How true.
I drive an old suburban that has lots of miles but it's a smooth ride offering the protection of a tank plus it has heated leather seats. They will have to pry the keys from my cold dead fingers before I give it up.

The Suburban is a good car.
I read somewhere recently that the Ford Explorer is now considered the best car for old folks.
As best as I can tell I'm still 6' 2" tall. My height was established many times, as I had to get a flight physical every year and every year they measured my height. I can still touch an eight foot ceiling. When I can no longer do that, I'll know I've shrunk!
