    Question Any place that can custom make jeans?

    Hey everybody, thank you in advance for reading this and offering any help. Well? My fiance is 6'3 and has a 40" inseam. So finding jeans for her is honestly a gong show. The jeans she buys end up looking like khakis. Nothing fits and we're getting frustrated with what is normally available. Any place locally (or in southern Alberta) that can custom make jeans for her? Thanks.

    Most 6'-3" people have a 34" inseam, so... I think you're measuring something incorrectly.

    were not, I'm 5'11 and I have a 34 inseam. No she has very very long legs. Edit: Hence the point of this thread. We don't really know what to do, she loves wearing jeans, but they look ridiculous on her. She hides it with tall boots, but that doesn't really solve the problem. That's why we figured it would be best if someone or company could custom make jeans for her.

    Yeah, you'll need custom or Made-To-Measure. Jeans are especially tricky, since the fabric is so unforgiving compared to dress pants.

    Most is not all of course... I have a niece who is 5-7 and a 36 inch inseam. Bloody giraffe legs!

    Long Tall Sally has up to 38", which might work, especially if they are high waisted and/or boot cut. They do not have B&M stores anymore though, online only. That is where my wife used to shop, when they were B&M. She's 5'10" with a 36" inseam.

    Obviously not custom made, but could work in a pinch.

    Another option is Journal Projects: https://journalprojects.com/
    The do custom raw denim jeans. I've never used them so have no idea about the process or quality. Price seems to be in line with other premium raw denim brands.
