JustMe:
So I went to Delia's, and ended up ordering some jeans because they didn't have any in stock that were long enough, but the jeans I tried on fit really well (other than length) and were the style that I wanted. Thanks so, so much for the recommendations. I'm really excited about having jeans that are actually long enough, not just kind-of-sort-of-if-I-stand-really-still-and-don't-twitch long enough.
My inseam is 36", as it turns out. Which explains a lot of my trouble?

Now that I'm stuck at 5'10", I'm actually happy, because goddamn I am sick of hitting my head when I go down into people's basements. But it's nice always having a good view at concerts.

Yeah, see, I'm a shade taller than 5'8" and while people have given me crap for being a shorty from time to time, I've found that it's actually a pretty damn convenient height. Maybe the average man is an inch or two taller than me, but the average human isn't. So the world is literally engineered to accommodate my size as standard operating procedure. I can reach everything while still having some leg room and it's pretty rare that I scrape my head on anything. It's honestly a pretty sweet deal. Still, it's kinda funny watching ESPN and listening to sports analysts talk about a 5'9" prospect like the guy is so short as to be some kind of freak of nature. It's like that channel is its own alternate reality sometimes.

Oh I'm so glad. I hope they work for you! If not, I'll ask my tall friends and see if they have any more suggestions.

YUP. Never a bad spot in the crowd for me.
