The inseam is 30" and the waist is 35.5" - the bottoms have a 1" cuff which can be let out if needed...

Is this really 32" long? That seems kind of excessive considering the other proportions and I think would make this more of a 40L.

I will remeasure it tonight and fix the post if necessary - it didn't seem too long to me when I wore it...but then again, who knows...

How can you have a 39" chest on a 40R suit? That doesn't make sense to me.

the chest is approxiamtely 19-19.5" and the top to bottom length is 32" - it fits like a regular 40R, so this does sound a little odd...
