I am taller than your average inseam, also requiring custom sizing. <BR/><BR/>Nothing, and I really mean nothing, is worse than coming inside from a snowy day, taking off your shoes and proceeding to step warm feet on wet pants soaking the entire sock with freezing snow-water. <BR/><BR/>This is why I prefer to just tuck my pants into my shoes, or socks, if possible. Just kidding. Unless I'm wearing Uggs.shazzerxohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14518383667411635277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6517242796487875316.post-68127511985959250172009-01-28T20:38:00.000-05:002009-01-28T20:38:00.000-05:00From my angle (sitting at a right angle to the flo...From my angle (sitting at a right angle to the floor, legs parallel to the ground and resting comfortably on a soft, cushy surface), I see two potential solutions to your problem:<BR/><BR/>Solution One: get your pants hemmed.<BR/><BR/>Solution Two: order pants from the Lands End catalog, and specify "35-inch" length. (It's the same as #1 above, but you don't have to leave your computer to do it).<BR/><BR/>Of course, this being an imperfect world, both solutions carry potential risks: <BR/><BR/>Assuming that you (like most of us men) are a menace with a needle and thread, you'll have to get someone to do it for you. Since you already probably have to be on your best behavior to get your mom or fiancee to feed you, asking them to hem your pants might cause needless trouble. On the other hand, paying a tailor to do it costs money. So much for Solution One.<BR/><BR/>Solution Two avoids the pitfalls of Solution One, but you can't actually try on the pants before you buy them. (Of course, you're paying for them to hem the pants, too, but there's no separate charge, so it feels like you're getting it for free. And since they won't feed you anyway, you don't have to worry about them getting mad at you for asking).Jeff Caminskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03452066593646439709noreply@blogger.com
