Pants for guys with a long torse and (comparatively) short legs; or high front rise???
Hello everyone,
So I'm 6'1" (183 CM) and wear a 32" inseam on my pants. I have relatively wide shoulders from lifting. I've reached the point where I'm buying XL shirts just for the length, since everything else exposes my stomach when I lift my arms. Any suggestions for pants with a slightly higher rise? I am already eyeballing a pair of Unbranded selvedge denim jeans specifically for their higher front rise (and because I'm a denim geek). However, I am in bad need of some other pants, like Chinos.

I'm pretty sure Unbranded does not have high rise cuts. Look for rises over 12" if you want higher rises
That being said, 6'1 with 32" inseam is completely normal, and you shouldn't feel compelled to buy a high rise because of the length of your legs or something?
Well, it's more like I have a super long torso. I've considered buying tall shirts as well, but it seems to greatly limit my options when shopping
If you have a 32" inseam at 6'1 that's normal proportions brother
Idk what to tell you but you should have plenty of options for shirts and pants
Interesting. I can hardly find shirts that cover my belt. I guess I'll need to investigate Tall sizes or start buying XLs and getting them tailored
Yeah most mall brands sell tall sizes
budget? i have a pair of denim from Bronson that are moderately high rise. their non denim pants are even higher (like a 13" ish it feels like). but agreed that your proportions seem normal unless you have a whole bolt of fabric pooling at your ankles. For comparison, i'm 5'10" barefoot and my tailored trousers that just graze the top of my shoes are a 27.5" inseam.
I'm willing to do up to $150 for jeans, but I need probably 4 pairs of chinos, so I'm thinking somewhere in the $50 range.
I was looking at Land's end and LL Bean.
I'll look up Bronson, that sounds promising.
just so you know bronson ships from china which takes 2-3 weeks
