Make Me Some Freaking Fetching Pants!
12.29.2008I’m six feet five inches tall. According to this chart of height percentiles according to age, that means I should be in about the 120 percentile range for my age. Apparently every major mercantile distributor thinks so as well.
I’m not that tall! I understand the concept of Economies of Scale, but I know three things don’t add up:
- I’ve perused or shopped at most major retail stores and have never personally seen nor purchased a pair of jeans with a length greater than 34 inches.
- I would be willing to pay at least 20% more for a good pair of jeans greater than 34 inches in length.
- I know I’m not the only man in this valley taller than 6′ 4″.
For the love, can someone flip me a freakin’ fetchin’ bone here? Does anyone other than Google know where I can find, try on, and purchase jeans with > 34″ length and ~34 waist?


I Hear you man! and shoes too!
