They do custom fit clothing.Dec 26, 2005 at 1:00 pm #1347482AnonymousGuestTry REI. Most of their house brand clothing is available in a 30″ inseam.
Dec 26, 2005 at 5:31 pm #1347484I also have a short inseam, I have a couple of pairs of knickers that work pretty well. For any brits out there I mean the pant leg is meant to hit mid shin bone.

I’ve had better luck finding pants with drawstring or elastic cuffs to keep from dragging them in the mud. Mont-Bell has some stretch gaiters that have helped too.

-MarkJan 4, 2006 at 12:48 am #1347875AnonymousGuestKeep in mind hemming may involve the removal of elastic drawcord cuff closure, or a task just a bit larger than hemming in order to keep the drawcord cuff closure. Also, if the pant legs have zippers, this complicates the matter somewhat.
