Thread Starter 
Hello everyone! I am new to the SF and I have a bit of a problem. I am 6'6" and have a hard time finding jeans that fit me correctly. I have muscular legs, if that makes any difference. I'm looking for places or websites that cater to taller people! Thank you.

this is the kind of question that goes in either the quick question OR the recommend a jean thread.

try imperial denim at self edge. pretty sure it has a 36 or 37 inch inseam.

almost everything at self-edge should fit the bill, plus there's a huge selection of fits

There's plenty of threads on this already.

Ande Whall has inseams of up to 40"+ (custom)
Somet = 36"+
Imperial = 36"+
Dior = 36"+
Etc.

Look at the affiliate store Self Edge, as well as Blue in Greene.

6'7" here, muscular thighs. I wear Momotaro 0701's, sized up in the waist (available from www.blueingreensoho.com and www.contextclothing.com). Inseam is 39.25", shrinks to about 36-37" after a good hot soak/wash and tumble dry. Note that they're one of the few jeans brands that DO NOT stretch, so make sure they fit on first wearing.

The problem for me (6'5") isn't really finding jeans with long inseams, the problem is finding jeans with the combination of long inseams, mid rise (11.5" front rise at 34" waist) and slim-straight fit. Take the Momotaros mentioned in the previous post for instance. I'm sure they're great jeans and that massive inseam is lovely, but there's no way I could wear jeans with a 10.5" rise. Then again, not everyone minds showing underwear/asscrack whenever they sit down as much as me.

^Ande Whall runs a bunch of different rises and fits. And BiG and SelfEdge carry dozens of lines.

In other news, we have at least three existing threads, two of which are pinned at the top, that you could have posted this in.

The longer rise Ande Whall models have too big thighs for me. I haven't seen anything on SE or BiG that fits my waist/rise/inseam/fit criteria. I have a pair of 3sixteens that match most of the criteria, but unfortunately they turned out to be vanity sized in the waist and seat. Getting huge hip flare. Can't size down either, because the rise would be too low on the next size down. Haven't decided if I'm going to try to have it taken in or just flip them.

I know you said you perused BIG/SE, but Samurai 710 or 0500 fit that description pretty accurately. Flathead F380s are quite close as well. (remember when looking at the size charts they are unsanforized so you have to account for shrinkage)

They aren't necessarily straight leg, but the taper is not severe and they wear much like a true straight leg.

Im 6'8 with athletic build. I have a pair that I wear all the time. They are the GAP selvege standard fit. I got 38 W 34 L and I wear them uncuffed. Next pair will be 36W 36L probably. Check those out.

Do you have the world's longest torso? I can't imagine a 34 inseam coming anywhere near the shoes of a 6'8" guy.

In my experience (with a pair of AW Cougar I bought in 09) an unsanforized 11.5" rise shrinks to 10.5" after the first wash. Even the 12" rise on the Samurais would be too short after shrink.

Thanks for the suggestions though.

Sounds crazy, yeah. Maybe he wears them sagged to his knees.

My buddy is 6'5" and has about a 33 inseam. I'm 6'4" and have a 35. Go figure.
