Jeans for tall men

All-cotton denim shrinks. For tall men, an inseam that shrinks more than an inch could make a jean unwearable. Stretch denim shrinks too, and less predictably than all-cotton. Todd Shelton washes the fabric before cutting and washes the finished jean before shipping to remove shrinkage. A 38 inch inseam ships at 38 inches. Expect up to ½ inch of additional shrinkage after several launderings.

Men 6'4" and above typically wear a 36, 37, or 38 inch inseam. Find a pair of jeans you currently own that fit well. Lay them on a flat, rigid surface. Smooth out the fabric and keep the outseam straight. Place a measuring tape at the middle of the crotch seam, where the two legs meet. Extend the tape to the bottom hem.

Todd Shelton inseams are measured before shipping with a tolerance of ¼ inch. A 36 inch inseam ships between 35¾ and 36¼ inches.

If your measurement falls between two lengths, order longer. All-cotton denim shrinks up to ½ inch after several launderings.

Cuffing is a style decision that requires additional inseam length. A single cuff folds once. A double cuff folds twice. Each fold consumes length. Todd Shelton makes inseams to 38 inches and longer on request. Add the cuff depth to your base inseam measurement before ordering.

Taller men often require a higher rise. Requests for rise adjustments from men who need longer inseams are common at Todd Shelton. The high rise option is one inch longer than the standard mid-rise and is available on all jeans. Compare your target rise to the measurements in the size chart before ordering.
