I haven’t bought jeans there in years, but the American Eagle I used to go to offered tailoring at the store. Super convenient, but definitely buy them long and get them shortened to fit somewhere.

Same boat here. My only solution is to buy the 32 and tighten the belt higher than I want to wear them on my waist.

lemaire.bsky.social•94 days ago

you can have it professionally adjusted 🙌

kentcdodds.com•94 days ago

I'm thinking about doing this!

jacobolson.bsky.social•94 days ago

Worth it! As a 35x31 I do this for my dress pants but wish I did it for all of them

numirator.bsky.social•94 days ago

Free alterations at Uniqlo is how they got me.

noah39.bsky.social•94 days ago

Wait…what?

numirator.bsky.social•93 days ago

Yup I almost cried when I found out

Just rock the short length, Michael Jackson style

100% same. Certain brands fit better regardless of the number on the tag being 30 or 32. Bonobos is my current favorite. Cheaper brands also have wild variance based on where the item was in the cut stack.

💯 Bonobos - discovered their “athletic fit” years ago and have been using them exclusively for pants and shorts for probably 7+ years now

Same. I get all my pants altered. Somewhere between $15-30 a pair but absolutely worth it.

simon.lc•94 days ago

I buy 34 and roll them

dablooey.bsky.social•94 days ago

I just avoid them altogether.

zackthe.dev•94 days ago

Tailors exist!

kentcdodds.com•94 days ago

Seriously considering this actually.

zackthe.dev•94 days ago

It honestly is pretty cool to have your clothes actually fit your body. And every time I’ve done it, it’s insanely affordable.

kentcdodds.com•94 days ago

I think my waist is also 31 so it might be nice to get them tailored in both directions! I'll try it!

lancejeffers.bsky.social•94 days ago

Make sure to find a good tailor, but once you do you'll be glad you did it. I'm also in between sizes on most things, and I've just given up on anything fitting me off the rack 😂

noah39.bsky.social•94 days ago

I’m in the same boat!

So the real question is do you prefer to show your ankles or let your pants fray at the ends as they get caught under your heels?

vesters.dk•94 days ago

Get one of each. Average of 31. Ur welcome

samwisecbj.bsky.social•94 days ago

So true, this has been my bane my entire life!

chrislanejones.com•94 days ago

You could try stretching them. Dry them on a hanger and clip hangers to the bottom of them.

As someone who also has this problem -- many IRL clothing stores have on-site tailoring if you need adjustments like this.
