Pants Measurements for Tailors
I need to add quite a few pants to my wardrobe this fall/winter.
What parts of pants can be easily altered vs more difficult?
For example, shortening is easy but taking in the waist is harder (and costlier).
So where do pants need to fit right off the rack and what areas can be changed?
Thigh? Rise? Taper? Etc.

WFH Pants
Just ordered a pair of Bonobos Off Duty Pants (https://bonobos.com/products/off-duty-pant?color=deep%20blue). Because of sizing I’m not sure if these will fit right.
I really like the idea of having pants that aren’t jeans or sweatpants when I have to work from home and run errands.
Is there something similar to these pants? I like the crop leg, jogger thing they have going on.
Do these pants have a certain style name I can look for?

Measurements
If I have pants that fit me well, can I measure those and use those measurements when shopping?
If I have pants that are long, can I fold the hem and measure the “new” inseam and use that measurement?
Can I pin parts of the pant and take those measurements and use them?
Is there a difference when measuring jeans vs chinos vs other types of pants?
Can I do similar things with shirts?
Seeing if I could save money/time from the tailor.

Brands for Jeans/Pants
Colder weather will be here soon and need to redo my pants wardrobe.
I wear basic things, jeans, 5 pocket pants, and chinos mostly. Nothing crazy.
Looking for my size/fit has always been difficult. I mostly wear 29/28 and tend to wear more of the “skinny” fit (tighter through thighs tapers to ankle) because of my stature, I tend to look taller in this fit.
Bonobos has been the only brand that has what I would consider my best fit but looking to expand on things they may not have.
My main complaint is some brands don’t carry anything below a 30 inseam or have “low rise” (thanks to this MFA I’ve come to learn how important rise is).
Are there other brands that carry pants in these size and fits? Budget would probably be <$100
