Backpacker season is ending and I can't help but feel jealous over some of the styles the Europeans coming into my store were wearing.

The main style that interested me (and that most backpackers were wearing) included a slim/European cut casual dress shirt, casual white or black tennis shoes, and some type of jeans. It's no problem for me to find and purchase the shoes and the shirts, however I am having a tough time finding just the right jean.

I do know that the jeans are slim fit and have a boot cut, however most of the jeans I see online have the part of the back that goes over the back of your shoe too long or too short. Is their a certain type of jean that will accommodate the style I'm looking for or is it simply a matter of finding the right size (I'm 6'2 and skinny, so main stream stores don't carry my size and the big & tall stores don't accommodate thin & tall fellows such as myself).

Buy them too long and get them hemmed?
