5 easy pieces. I think NS would be better than NC unless you have really slim legs.

What those guys said about the NCs... If you have especially muscular legs, you can also look into APC Rescues.

whatuknowaboutthat, Phooi stole what I was going to say (and still will

): Try some jeans with smaller, higher back pockets and a lower rise. A front rise of 10" or slightly less would be ideal at your height.

I was rereading the 5EP x SF project jean thread today. I want to say to any shorter guys looking for a new jean that this is one that I am very excited about. This jean will have a lower rise (similar to APC NS), smaller back pockets, no back pocket stitching, slim but not skinny, amazing denim, and straight leg. I can't wait for a final prototype but it sounds just about perfect...

yeah the LDB on revolve are great. I'm 5'6" 145lbs and the 29x32 raw version fits me perfectly.

I thought both APC NS and 5EP LDB had a front rise > 10" (10.5 - 11)? Isn't that a bit high for short guys?

I'm looking into APC NS as well but I'm unsure about the front rise and inseam length. Going by the numbers, they don't seem to be good for shorties.

In my opinion it is. The LDB in particular is probably a bad choice for short guys: its rear pockets are known to be large, and the rise is often criticized as generous (in the back, especially, if I remember correctly?).
