Pants size question

[Slickone]

Does a longer length pant also have a longer stride (ie. distance from waistline to bottom of pants at crotch)? It seems they would since a person with longer legs should also be longer in the mid section. However many times I don't like the feel of a 32/30, like it's too far up the crack of my ass, and a 32/32 doesn't feel much better, if any. So I usualy get the 32/30 to keep from having to hem up the legs.

A different brand maybe?

for the most part, i think longer length should correspond to longer stride. i think this is mostly dependant on the brand tho. some brands just have longer/shorter strides

 

[Slickone]

It's not just with one brand.

Any clothing store employees know?

Maybe you need relaxed fit?

i think it has more to do with the cut of the pant than the size. they have regular, regular relaxed, relaxed....go to the levi's website and check out all the different cut of pant they have.

Is it a "stride" .. always thought it was called a "rise". Doesn't answer question, but might help your google

Yep, that pant measurement is known as "rise"

Us short guys have to know that so our pants dont wind up around our diaphrams.

What are you trying to ask?

The OP has found that when he wears his pants at what he considers to be his waist, the crotch is too binding.

He wants to know whether the problem he has is ubiquitous - even when he buys pants with a longer inseam (leg length) the rise (think of it as distance from waistline to nuts) is still too short.

The youths you see at the mall with their belts cinched somewhere below their nutsacks who hobble slowly and have rug-burns between their knees are suffering from the opposite problem, albeit self-induced.

The OP will probably find that the waistline will affect the rise more, as it is assumed that a larger waist means a more ..er.. voluptuous ass, hence more fabric needed to cover the vertical distance. Unfortunately, cinching up a couple inches of extra waistline is just not fashion conscious.

Buying "baggy" or "loose" styles helps with this if you are dressing casual. As far as dress-casual or dress, if the OP were to stake out the mall and find where the well dressed black men were buying their pants, he would probably have some luck there.

Hes asking does buying longer length pants = to a higer "rise" in the pants. The pants he buys are too short in the waist/crotch length. Like women low rider type pants.

Try like baggy or carpenter pants. They usually have a greater "rise" than normal pants.

OK, rise. My mother always called it the stride when I was growing up.

My original question wasn't what kind of pants to buy, but if the labeled lenth of the pants affects the rise length. See my OP.

BTW, I've run into the problem with loose fit 550/560 Levis, different more expensive brand jeans, and dress pants, which is what I'm buying now.
