Pants with short inseams

Any recs on pants with short inseams? I have a 26 inch inseam so it’s hard to find pants that aren’t meant to look cropped on a taller person.

Also, don’t tell me to just get my pants tailored.

bustin_janks•7/19/23, 3:39 PM

Beams has a lot around that range

rej•7/19/23, 3:40 PM

Are you looking for full length or a cropped look on a 26" inseam?

jfarrell468•7/19/23, 3:59 PM

wdym by "get my pants tailored"? do you mean "don't tell me to get pants custom-made" or "I want them to fit off the rack"?

Get your pants tailored

Raw hem your pants

Rrej Are you looking for full length or a cropped look on a 26" inseam?

imbadatusernamesOP•7/19/23, 4:07 PM

Full length! For example I have gramicci climbing pants that are cropped on me but they’re just supposed to be long shorts for a normal sized person, that’s exactly what I don’t want

Bbustin_janks Beams has a lot around that range

I’ve already got a bunch of stuff saved by them

Better phrasing would have been “don’t tell me to get my pants hemmed”

Bigelow•7/19/23, 4:10 PM

there is a simple, $10-15 solution that you can do at your local dry cleaner or tailor to make any pants with >26" inseam into a 26" inseam

Bigelow•7/19/23, 4:11 PM

this exact thing has been asked before on r/MFA and I've yet to hear a good reason not to just get pants hemmed

imbadatusernamesOP•7/19/23, 4:11 PM

I’m not gonna convince you

Bigelow•7/19/23, 4:11 PM

there are also certain brands that offer free hemming like uniqlo too

imbadatusernamesOP•7/19/23, 4:14 PM

Glad this thread turned into exactly what I didn’t want because of a mod lololol

imbadatusernamesOP•7/19/23, 4:17 PM

Never said I was starving. Maybe only a little hungry. I asked for something specific and instead you went out of your way to be rude and input your opinion.

jfarrell468•7/19/23, 4:19 PM

I always get my pants hemmed. I'm a ~30" inseam, which is already on the short side, and usually if I get 30", the legs are a bit long.

imbadatusernamesOP•7/19/23, 4:20 PM

If I get 30 inch pants hemmed to 24-25 inch inseam it ruins the design of the pants and I like to keep the original hem or whatever it’s called

jfarrell468•7/19/23, 4:22 PM

yeah, you might have a point that this is a lot of material to remove, and the fit/cut might start to be affected. I buy 32" inseam and get them hemmed, and it's fine.

jimi•7/19/23, 4:22 PM

you don't want to get pants hemmed? have you tried getting shorts extended?

jfarrell468•7/19/23, 4:23 PM

But, on the other hand, some pants only come in one length -- "too long" -- and they are intended to be hemmed.

Iimbadatusernames Full length! For example I have gramicci climbing pants that are cropped on me b...

rej•7/19/23, 4:24 PM

I don't know your waist size... But maybe the kids section? I honestly haven't come across anywhere that does shorter than a 28" inseam

rej•7/19/23, 4:24 PM

Aside from cropped trousers... Which you said you weren't after

jfarrell468•7/19/23, 4:25 PM

I don't see the aesthetic point of keeping the "original hem". I've never noticed a difference in appearance. It's not hard for a tailor to match the thread and style of the original hem.

Jjfarrell468 I don't see the aesthetic point of keeping the "original hem". I've never notice...

bustin_janks•7/19/23, 4:27 PM

this is true, the only reason i would see for wanting to keep the original hem is with washed denim - and even with that, there's a workaround for keeping it

Rrej I don't know your waist size... But maybe the kids section? I honestly haven't c...

jfarrell468•7/19/23, 4:27 PM

Agreed. 26" inseams seem like they are going to be very hard to find, no matter what.

bustin_janks•7/19/23, 4:29 PM

oh, i think document does have some in that range

jfarrell468•7/19/23, 4:31 PM

Admittedly, getting pants hemmed is an annoying extra step. I bought some jeans recently and the store hemmed them while I waited, so I am now spoiled and want every store to do that.

Jjfarrell468 yeah, you might have a point that this is a lot of material to remove, and the f...

imbadatusernamesOP•7/19/23, 4:33 PM

Yeah like hemming bootcut jeans would just ruin it

Jjimi you don't want to get pants hemmed? have you tried getting shorts extended?

imbadatusernamesOP•7/19/23, 4:33 PM

imbadatusernamesOP•7/19/23, 4:36 PM

I was a weight lifter for around 9-10 years so I do not fit in kids clothes

I had some women’s moschino pants that fit perfectly but grad school weight kicked in. Beams right now is going to be my go to when I hit my weight loss goal
