Loooong trousers

    Hey,
    any ideas on where to buy long jeans, combats and trousers in general?? I take a 34" ish leg. Im constantly looking in the usual places like river island, miss selfridge etc but there 34" legs are defo not 34" because they are always too short. It sucks. I find it so so hard to find trousers that are long enough and its really starting to p.iss me off. Its even worse if im looking for ones to go with boots or high shoes, its impossible to find any long enough :o(
    Any ideas guys? Ive tried long tall sally in clerys but to be honest i think alot of there stuff is really old fashioned.
    Its so hard to find them because they havta be a bit too long also, especially combats, they gotta be touching the ground to look right me thinks :)
    Any suggestions greatly appreciated! :) Thanx

    Dorothy Perkins Tall range.

    I'm 5 ft 11, around the same leg measurement as yourself, and they are plenty long. Sometimes, too long and I have to get them taken up.

    Really? Ive tried them loads and always find that their "long" sizes differ so much between styles. I hardly ever find them long enough. I think im gonna havta go measure my legs again because maybe they are longer than 34".
    Just a q, where do i measure, down the inside?
    Im gonna try dorothy perkins again tho cos of ur advise. Hopefully they'll prove me wrong :)

    Dunno if it'd be long enough for you, but Retro in the George's Street Arcade do long trousers. I had to get like... 3 inches taken off a pair of trousers I got there.

    This is gonna be a stoopid question but where abouts is georges st arcade. Im ashamed to say ive never been there. I know (or think) its near powerscourt. Am i right? Gonna find it and try that Retro shop. Im going mad trying to find some long casual trousers! Im desperate at this stage. Sick of having to wear the same ones all the time :(

    Yeah, it's near the powerscourt shopping place. If you're coming from the Grafton Street side, you go through the powerscourt shopping place, then straight ahead pretty much through a lane type place, and then the arcade should be just across the road infront of you. If my memory serves me right. Retro is a place down the side. They're pretty expensive though, I must warn you.

    Have you tired M&S? I got a great pair of kick flare jeans the other day in their per una range, they're really long I have to wear them with heels or I walk on them.

    Off topic but you can get a 10% student discount on the due range in M&S I got a great bright green tweed short skirt with a turquoise hem...sounds odd looks cool :)

    Aye, they're good. When I say to get their "long" trousers, I mean their trousers exclusively from the "Tall" range, not just their regular "long length". Make sure it says "tall" on the label.

    And yes, its an inside leg measurement that you should be taking.
