    Talking longer jeans

    i need help!!! im tall (178cm approx) slim-ish and find it nearly impossible to buy jeans of a decent length, can anyone point me in the right direction to jeans that may just fit me!!! i get very frustrated and never feel comfortable wearing short jeans!!

    TIA

    Try Colorado. I'm not quite as tall as you, but I do have rather unusually long legs for my height and I've always Colorado jeans to be good, if not too long at times.

    undercoverwear and postie both have longer legs on their jeans - in all sizes - i've even found them to be too long for me (and i'm bordering on six foot) - some of them i HAVE to wear heels - and still hitch them up!

    i know Target have their jeans in short, regular and long length..

    im 5'9 myself, and a size 8... the last pair i bought were from Cotton On, $40 and they are perfect length! (i wear thongs everywhere, so they sit just nicely with them, if i was to wear runners.. they would be too short)

    Another long legged one here (I'm 5'11"). I have a pair of Sass & Bide jeans (XL - extra long) that fit me really well. Also, some Levis with a 34" inseam fit okay (although I swear that they are making Levis shorter than they used to).

    I find that most shops that claim to have long jeans only have a 33" inseam, which in my books is not long at all.

    You could try googling "tall jeans". I know that a few years ago there were quite a few shops (mostly online) all around Australia that sold all kinds of long trousers.

    maybe its just whats currently available?
    I'm 183cm and I done have a problem with lee(riders) or pretty much anything at Just Jeans.
    Also for those in Melb there is a guy at the South Melb Market who has a jeans stall (labels and not necessarily discounted) but he is AWESOME at getting a style and a fit that suit you perfectly, and he's very upfront with what suits you and what doesnt - like Trinny and Susanna for free

    Depending on how much you want to spend... True Religion's are quite generous in their length. I am around 6ft and at age 30 have finally found these fantastic jeans. I didn't mind paying the price as, apart from looking great on, I wear them to work every day and also out at night.

    Levi's sometimes come in a 34' leg length and they are quite good too if you can find them.

    Yes, 34" inch Levis are great, but recently when I tried on a pair, the length seemed shorter ... So try on any Levis before purchase, as they may not be a true 34"...

    P.S. Don't you hate it when you walk into a shop and ask them if they have long pants and they answer "yes, we have 33 inch". Pfft. 33 inch is not long.
