As a 6'4 dude with a 32 in waist and a 35/in inseam, I just said fuck it. Let people think what they want about my clothes. Finding pants that 'fit' is a joke. It cracks me up that women don't think men have this problem.

Ah shit, its 2015, I shouldn't say that.

Funny mainly because they don't think that?

Really you shouldn't say that because it makes zero sense and has absolutely nothing to do with the article.

The article is about how women's garments are sized completely differently (and totally arbitrarily) compared to men's. And plenty more women have problems finding clothes that fit due to garments being cut for arbitrary chest sizes. So, your sexist comment not only makes no sense, it's totally out of place.

I have similar measurements (34" waist, I'm also taller) and I find gap/old navy fits perfectly. Order online, choose the "tall" tab on the product page and choose 36" inseam there.

Old Navy Jeans fall apart way too fast for me and I don't even wear them very hard. I've stopped buying them after the last two pairs wore holes within 6 months. Maybe I just got unlucky but examination of the material shows them to be much thinner than a pair of Levi's or Wranglers.

Have you tried Cabelas, Duluth Trading, or Filsons? They do a good job for me, and it sounds like we have similar pants sizes. I bet you also have the same problem as I have with non-tall shirts: they're always too short in the torso and sleeves when they're the "right size" instead of baggy.

Where are you shopping?

Try looking at higher end raw denim. It often comes unhemmed and around a 36" inseam. You'll need to get it hemmed a bit, but otherwise should be OK.

Same measurements. Patagonia's 34" inseam runs long. Bonobos will sell you a 36" inseam in most styles.
