Tall Personal Shopper: Men's Long Rise Jeans

Here is the latest Personal Shopper Request:

"Krista, I stumbled across your website after learning today that Lands' End no longer offers the men's long-rise jeans and plain front chinos that I have been buying for my husband for at least 20 years.
I'm hoping you can help me find long-rise jeans and/or chinos in size 35" (or 36") waist and 33" inseam. My husband is 69 years old, 6'4" tall and weighs about 160 lbs. He has a long torso, thus the need for the long-rise. He prefers his jeans in medium to dark blue colors, and is not fond of "distressed" denim with the bleached-in wear marks. We have been spending $50 to $70 for his pants at Lands End, but would spend more if necessary. He lives most of his life in jeans or chinos, so I will be very grateful for any suggestions.
Thank you for your efforts on our behalf.  - Jackie"


Jackie,

It's extremely frustrating when a product you have been using for years, suddenly is discontinued.  I feel your pain. I had been purchasing custom made women's dress shirts from Lands' End and suddenly one day, they quit selling them.
I think you will find good luck with the following items from Eddie Bauer. You will have to go up to a 36" waist.

Eddie Bauer - Classic Fit Wrinkle Free Casual Chino Pants - Long Rise, 36" Waist, Choose with our without cuffs and you can get them in a 33" inseam.

Eddie Bauer's Jeans come in set inseams and 33" are not available. In case a 34" can work, I recommend:

Boot Cut  Authentic Jeans

Straight Fit Authentic Jeans

Another option would be to create a pair of custom made jeans. You will pay more, but you can get them made in the exact measurements you need. Custom Jeans from indiCustom are now 25% off with coupon code CUSTOMGIFT. You can even purchase a gift card with the coupon. Coupon expires 12/20/11.

Tall Personal Shopper: Tall Teen Guy With Athletic Thighs

I received a personal shopper request from Jim, He is trying to find some items for his 16 year old son who is 6'8" tall. His waist is 34" and inseam is 38" with leg opening of 20" or more. He wears a size 17 shoe (the reason for leg opening size). Items needed are mens pants in causal and dressy style and jeans in relaxed fit. His thigh muscles are large.
Tall Personal Shoppper Help:
The good news is that we have special sections of men's tall jeans and pants categorized by inseam length. We are constantly updating these sections.

• Men's 38" inseam jeans
• Men's 38" inseam pants

Based on what you have asked for here are some hand picked items I would like to recommend:

If you want the perfect fit, you may consider getting a pair of custom made jeans with your son's measurements. I think indiCustom jeans are stylish.

For ready made jeans:

Popular among teen, Buckle's Seth Jeans in loose style with your size and a 20" leg opening. Here's the same style with a medium wash.

Classic style Eddie Bauer's loose fit 5 pocket jeans are also available with a long-rise which is good for most tall guys.

You can't go wrong with a pair of Levi's jeans. I had Rochester Clothing measure the leg opening of this pair of Levi's 550's in relaxed and the leg opening is 20". They have a 90 day return policy.

Rochester Clothing also measured the leg opening on this pair of Levi's Open Rigid-Welder jeans and the leg opening is 20".

Casual or Dressy Pants

I'm not having much luck with a 34" waist in casual or dressy pants with a wide leg opening. The widest legs I can find in your size is the following 2 pairs. They both measure 18" wide at the opening.

Rochester Clothing No Wrinkle Flat-Frong Twill Pants - more of a casual style. They are almost sold out.

Rochester Clothing No Wrinkle Pleated Twill Trousers - a dressier heavier weight style.

I hope this has helped you in your search to help your tall, teen son look stylish. My tall personal shopper service  is a free service. If you need, help be sure and submit all required info before sending me an email.
