I have long legs !!!

Probably a 36" inside leg ... and as you can imagine it's quite hard for me to get jeans / trousers that fit me ... and to make matters worse ... I'm also a bit on the lean side ...

Any suggestions of where I might purchade jeans / trousers that fit !?

Thanks :-)

The last time a saw some jeans with a 36" leg they were in TJ Hughes. Probably not the first place you'd look but they were Levis and they looked brilliant. Not much use to a short arse like me though!:wink:

Mr Strix is also a 36" inside leg. Much of his trouser type attire comes from NEXT (or NEXT outlet in Doncaster).

There used to be a place in Liverpool called Flemings that made supatuff jeans to measure. They folded when Liverpool went designer label mad. Pity they couldn't have ridden a couple of years out, coz 'different' and 'handmade' and 'exclusive' followed that craze. I can no longer carry the skyline of home across my back pocket :cry:.

Savile Row????? :P
There is/was a shop on manor top that did made to measure trousers. Think it was around £40ish for 2 pair.

Big Man Tall man at the bottom of the Moor. Alternatively River island sell jeans that are long with 28 inch waists.

Or buy online :)

Jamie, don't want to launch a big 'off thread' here, but there was a tall bod with a visage just like your avatar in the CRB on Sunday last. Was it you?

Try Harringtons in the depths of Castle Market. They manage to get me sorted with a vairiety of stuff and I have a 37" inside leg. Their jeans are so long they trail on the floor if I ain't wearin' shoes. I have got stuff that fits from TJ Hughes after lots of searching - Valentino brand I think and also in Primark. They are a tad on the short side but for 6 quid who cares?

I only wrote it once, then cut and pasted, so not flash really. That edit button's a bit handy for layouts tho' coz the codes ain't wysiwyg.

They'll probably 'transport' this onto the bottom of the 'smilies' thread and it won't make any sense there with all the drink in classic rock bars in it!
