I have a 33/34 inseam cuz im 5'8" and the medium fits great on me... The large is probably a 32 inseam. Mediums, by factory, are usually longer than small and large (i donno why, they do that with size 7 too) They are cotton, so they can easily be hemmed if you need it. Also the drawstring front is good for those days you want them looser or tighter..

oh hey Mikky, did i add you on the bhuz "myspace"? i have a pic of me wearing my aunts costume!! haha and it fits!! lol (only cuz im like 7 inches taller haha)

Any way to get an accurate measurement without just guessing?

If it's 32-inch inseam, I'll have to pass. But if it's longer, I'll consider buying a pair.

Guess what!! I found the size chart for the pants!! They are on the listings! :)

I looked at the sizing info on the listing.

I'm confused by what you meant on the ebay listing when you said you got inseam lengths from another web site. Were those inseam lengths for these exact pants, or were they for somebody else's pants entirely? Because if they were for somebody else's pants entirely, then they're meaningless and you should remove them.

You said you measured your mediums and they were a certain length from the waistband. FYI, that doesn't help at all, because pants vary so much on how high the waistband rises. The only really meaningful way to measure leg length on pants is to run the tape measure along the INSIDE leg seam, from the crotch seam down to the bottom edge.

If your inseam measurements apply to THESE EXACT PANTS and not somebody else's pants, then they're too short for me. I'm 5' 10" and I need at least a 34-inch inseam. Anything shorter and I'm embarrassed to be seen wearing them in public.

I have a pair of the large, and they now have a smidge over 30" inseam (washed and dried them a couple times).

[HabibiDancers]

the inseam lengths were for those pants exactly (they are made by the same company) and nasila is right, because over time, cotton shrinks...and with you needing a 34 inseam. It would be best probably to crop them and make them into capris... And i did measure them from the inside leg seam all the way to the bottom (i know how to measure ;P) I understand your perdicament with the inseam problem, i have had that problem my whole life... I usually buy long inseam. But sweats or yoga pants i do not put in the dryer, i hang dry all of mine, thats why mine have not shrunk(i have washed them over 10 times) I just do that by habit, because i hate pants coming to my ankles ( like sleeping pants that do that-drive me nuts!!) I hope your are not too frustrated by my confusion :/ I didnt mean to confuse anything, i just want to make sure everyone gets what they want yano?

[HabibiDancers]

yes, i just edited the thread, new url

[zumarrad]

Why does nobody make pants for people with long legs? *cries*

You know, people think my ankle-freezer pants are a style choice. NOT SO.
