Trousers

[martint235]

As those of you who have met me will know, I need trousers that are longer than for some of the little people. However now I'm looking for work trousers I've found that all my usual suppliers (High and Mighty et al) have decided that flat fronted is the way to go.

All I want is some trousers with a pleated front with 36" waist and 38" or 40" inside leg. Any ideas?

Rohan might have sometihng in their 'souk' bargain shelf to suit?

Always found their take on slacks/chinos to be excellent in comfort, care and wear but YMMV (and my legs ar about eight inches shorter!)

Unfortunately Rohan's idea of Extra Long is 3 inches shorter than my legs!!!

Start a trend of a shorter trouser, like the Bay City Rollers, with stripey socks....

Stilt walking trousers?

Why don't you cut the bottom off one leg of the trousers and then sew it on the other, be 50% better than the current situation?

I think Boden do unfinished leg length of about 39" which you could have hemmed to 38" and they have some single pleat trousers work type trousers. Not cheap though.

Buy yourself a few pairs of 'twosies' You look a prat in most stuff, so a bit of furry, zippy gear will do no harm to the cred. TallMart.

Oh, and steer clear of the 'flat front' trousers - you don't want them to match your face.

[QUOTE 2726647, member: 1314"]Shaven legs, though.

Is all this helping Martin?[/quote]

Oh, alright then.. I'll buy him if you must insist! Tsk..

Don't be silly G.! Of course it helps Martin!!! Doh!

Nasty

No, nice.
Martin is a good ride friend of mine and I can comment just as if I was riding alongside him...maybe at about mile 200 of an epic somewhere, or maybe just walking around without a bicycle in sight, so..not nasty. Bad word.

I quite like the kilt idea but last time I looked they wanted ridiculous prices for them!!!
