I'm 5'8", and I like no break in most pants. My inseam when I do that is 27 or 27 1/2, depending on the pants. I hope this helps.Any 5'7" guys in here care to speak to pant size inseam tailoring for a half-break fit? Looking online, seeing that a 26-27" inseam is appropriate for most guys in that height bracket.
Do you get your pants tailored from S&M or have them amended after arrival?I'm 5'8", and I like no break in most pants. My inseam when I do that is 27 or 27 1/2, depending on the pants. I hope this helps.
I use my own tailor. Though, I would probably relay the same numbers to S&M if I were to have them do the tailoring.Do you get your pants tailored from S&M or have them amended after arrival?

You should get measured, or take your pants to an in person tailor to dial this in. Inseam tends to vary greatly, especially when you factor in rise, where the waist sits, etc. I’m 5’8”, but take a 29.5” inseam on trousers in order to get about a half break . Seeing other responses , inseam can vary amongst the same height range.Any 5'7" guys in here care to speak to pant size inseam tailoring for a half-break fit?

Went ahead and measured crotch to ankle measures between 26-28". On pants that fit half-break/full-break it's 26", for my actual leg crotch to knee then to ankle is around 28".You should get measured, or take your pants to an in person tailor to dial this in.

Great question, only answer I have is idk. Somewhere in my experience and with the varying measurements in rise, leg opening , taper, etc, I’ve had my tailor adjust inseam slightly in either direction to achieve a better line. It’s not a great variance, it’s always generally in the same range around 29.5 for me, but that exact inseam doesn’t always give me the fit I want, or hit my shoes the way I want it to.I might be in need of an education here...but why would the rise impact the inseam? Doesn't a higher rise just mean it sits higher on your waist...and the inseam starts at the same place regardless?

I guess it may come down to preference, but when I am getting my pants hemmed, I will position them in the ideal spot on my waist and hem from that position. To me, an extra half inch in either direction would not be an acceptable fit, because then I’d have the start of some puddling at the ankle or they would start to lift away from my shoes and float around. To me at least, getting the ideal length as a starting point will mitigate the extremity of fit changes from the daily movement that may occur.I mean, realistically 1/2" here or there only makes a difference in fit pics, right? As you go throughout your day, your pants are going to migrate up and down on your waist slightly and the break against your shoes will be adjusted at the same time whether you want it to or not.
