riada Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 I read the other thread on hard to find jeans and thought I would post one for talls. I require a 36" inseam, minimum. My problem is that all the great jeans I find are for a size 0. I'm a size 8/10 depending on the jean. Are there any tall ladies out there that have discovered some great jeans with long inseam? Please share with me your secret! tnmomofboys (hope I got the name right) recommended http://www.zafu.com. I went to the website and it recommended 17 types of jeans. I would love to hear personal recommendations from ladies that have worn them. They suggested Eddie Bauer, Long Elegant Legs, and Lucky brands.

Nicole M Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 I'm having good luck with Levi's tall sizes. A while back, the talls were actually too long for me, but now they're just right, so I think they've changed (I doubt I've actually grown!).

Please share with me your secret! Oh, man, a 36" inseam? I'm a tall - but a 34" inseam. I buy off-the-rack talls and they work great. I haven't a clue where to get something with a 36" inseam.

riada Posted December 13, 2008 Author Share Posted December 13, 2008 I checked their site and can only find 34" inseam. Do you know what kind they are (i.e. 553,518, etc.)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen in CO Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 Many of the lands end styles will hem to a length you specify. My sister has hers done this way, and I have them done like this for my ds who currently wears a 31x36. I have had good luck with the gap talls. I need a 34-35 inch inseam and the many of the gap talls drag the ground on me. I also love that they have low-rise, it lets me get in a smaller size than I would otherwise ;). Their long and lean are awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riada Posted December 13, 2008 Author Share Posted December 13, 2008 I'm very long legged. 36" touch the top of a shoe, I prefer 38" so when I sit down they don't become capris, lol. It has made jean shopping a curse word. I have three daughters that are going to hate jean shopping too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxxxxxxx Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 I just bought a pair of jeans from Old Navy (online). You'd never find them in the store. Also, go to the JcPenney website and look for Ultra Talls. There are pants (not very many) with a 36" inseam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maria from IN Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 I requested a catalog from these people a while ago, but I haven't tried any of their stuff. http://www.tallwomensclothes.com/ The place is called Long Elegant Legs, and I remember they had "36, "38 and "39 inseams in sizes 4-24. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsMe Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 I have a 36" inseam too. But I buy mens Levi's 505's w/the 36" inseam or Wrangler Original Fit. If I need nice pants, which I usually don't, I'll only buy Dockers and Kohls has them in longs that are good for lengths w/nice shoes. But even at Kohls, long lengths are hard to find so I'm one to have to buy whatever they have in stock so I don't have to "go through this" all over again.:lol: I never buy womens jeans because I can't find any that doesn't show booty. And for some reason talls, also have a higher rise, which I don't need. Try Eddie Bauer. I buy everything else there. Pricey, but good stuff and good fit.

Ferdie Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 (edited) I wear 36" inseams also and I second the Ultra-tall jeans from JC Penney. I have a couple of pairs and they are so comfortable. Lands End also has 36" inseams. I have this pair and love them: http://www.landsend.com/pp/NowaistBootCutStretchJeans~155062_58.html?bcc=y&action=order_more&sku_0=::RDG&CM_MERCH=IDX_00002__0000000125&origin=index'>http://www.landsend.com/pp/NowaistBootCutStretchJeans~155062_58.html?bcc=y&action=order_more&sku_0=::RDG&CM_MERCH=IDX_00002__0000000125&origin=index'>http://www.landsend.com/pp/NowaistBootCutStretchJeans~155062_58.html?bcc=y&action=order_more&sku_0=::RDG&CM_MERCH=IDX_00002__0000000125&origin=index'>http://www.landsend.com/pp/NowaistBootCutStretchJeans~155062_58.html?bcc=y&action=order_more&sku_0=::RDG&CM_MERCH=IDX_00002__0000000125&origin=index I also have a pair of boot cut jeans from Long Elegant Legs, but I they are cut a lower then my other jeans so I don't wear them as much. My sister has good luck getting jeans at Old Navy. Lastly, I just got these Ultra-tall pants from JC Penney. They are not jeans, but are so cute I thought I would mention: http://www.landsend.com/pp/NowaistBootCutStretchJeans~155062_58.html?bcc=y&action=order_more&sku_0=::RDG&CM_MERCH=IDX_00002__0000000125&origin=index Edit: I just reread your post and didn't realize that you are looking for 38" inseam. I don't think Eddie Bauer, Lands End or Old Navy carries that length in women's jeans. I think your best bet would be Long Elegant Legs. Also JCPenney has a pair of jeans with a 37 1/2" inseam right now. I just ordered them and they are on back order until Jan. so I haven't tried them on yet.

shalom22 Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 Wow, it's so cool to know that there are lots of tall women here. I don't feel like I would stick out in this crowd.:D I usually buy my jeans at Wal-mart, Riders, they come in tall, with some stretchy material which makes them more comfortable. And you can get the ones that aren't low cut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah. :lol: :lol: I couldn't help but laugh at this. I wish it were that easy (and inexpensive) to just go to Wal-Mart, but they aren't long enough on me. I swear pants are capris, capris are boy shorts, and shorts are daisy dukes. It's sad. And then you hear all those comments, "It must be nice to have long legs like that". My response, "try shopping for them!". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's sad. And then you hear all those comments, "It must be nice to have long legs like that". My response, "try shopping for them!". I can totally relate to that one. It was particularly amusing when they said things like that while I was standing there in my "high waters." All I had to do was point down and ask, "Would you like to repeat that, please?" :lol: I'm old enough that I was thrilled when they started *offering* tall sizes in "regular" stores! I shopped at Sally's Tall Shop for ages -- and it was expensive. Look at the bright side! When you get older, you'll start shrinking. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
