how long is your leg?

well, this was last year, when i was 168 lbs and svelte. i got the size 29 (which is about 32 in the waist)

the inseam runs to approx 34-35 inches. i have a 32.5 inch inseam and i am 5'11 without shoes. a bit more with shoes on.

the darts run past my knees to about 2 inches below the patella. it looked sloppy. so i had them returned.


if you want a pair without darts get the 003, but in my opinion it's silhouette is not 'to die for' like the 008 if you want that kind of look.
the rise is not as low as 008 and the leg is straight not tapered.

how long is the dart? I'm a short guy so I'm looking into somets because I like low rise but I'm assuming my legs are too short and the darts are gonna go past my knees. If someone could measure the darts on their 008s that would be a huge help.

6'2" 150 wearing a size 29 and the darts extend precisely to my kneecap when I'm sitting down. If you're shorter, assume lower on this size.

I wish Somet would do more of a classic fit. I've had the 003's and really didn't like the fit but the denim and construction were as good as I've seen.

If you go on superfuture and find the big somet thread, there's some fit pics there. They don't look terribly different from the 008s though, which only increases my confusion as to which cut is best.
