Where are you guys finding 31" inseam jeans? 30" is too short most of the time and 32" is too long (I'm a hair under 6'). I don't think I've ever seen a 31" inseam. I usually just buy 32" slacks or chinos and have them tailored. But never really do that with jeans.

I wear my jeans the same way that I wear the rest of my pants. Is that wrong? For me that's just to the ankle. Unfortunately that would mean a 33" inseam and most off the rack pants only come in even sizes. I usually get a 32 and wear it low rather than a 34 and have it to the bottom of my shoe.

why can't a 32 always be a 32


Same idea as waist line.

Some companies want to make short people feel taller, and fat people skinny.

It's called stacking and I think that's how it supposed to look. I'm not posting my jeans pic again, that was a mistake. That's how you fade nice lines in them.
Stacking is a thing and can look good but most dudes who have jeans too long aren't trying to stack, they're just wearing poorly fitted jeans. You can't stack boot cut jeans from the Gap. It takes some deliberate effort to do it right.

edit: seriously remember your audience. Telling a dude in the OT lounge who's asking how long jeans should be that it's okay to have jeans that are bunched up around his ankles is a bad idea because he's not going to look like he's stacking his jeans. He's going to look bad.

No shite. At first I just consciously gathered them above my calves to dictate where the creases set while I finished my shite around the house. At 5 months they're fairly set, but I have a couple by my knees that I wish hadn't formed so well. Oh well, next pair...

No clue. I haven't worn a pair of jeans since the early 1990's while I was in college.

6'3 but I wear a 30. Weird long arse torso.



Yeah, bodies can be weird. I'd rather have a longer torso, though. I'm 5'11", but I wear 31's perfectly. So, my torso looks kind of short. I hate the way it looks, to be honest.

Are you a woman? My wife has longer jeans for heels and shorter jeans for flats. I buy 32" length.

That's why I started buying the relaxed fit pants. Regular cut jeans fit like skinny jeans on me.
