JonnyMac Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Hi all, I've recently arrived in Melbourne and have found a job. I went out today to buy some work trousers, however everywhere I went, Country Road, Gazman only stocked trousers in a regular leg length. I need a long leg length. This is driving me crazy, I just assumed that everywhere would stock different leg lengths, you know, 'cos people have different heights Does anyone have any recommendations? High Street or Online Thanks Jonny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boganbear Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Order from m & s and stick 2 fingers up to Australian retailers. It's one of the things that pisses me off as they charge a fortune for trousers then charge you again to cut the bottoms off. It's one of the things you have to get used to I'm afraid. I don't buy anything from a shop or Aussie website unless I have to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnyMac Posted November 3, 2014 Author Share Posted November 3, 2014 Cheers for the fast answer BB. Yeah, seems nuts that retailers don't stock different lengths, I'm on the M&S now....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parley Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Didn't you know all Australian men are the same height. It is a fairly well known phenomenon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freckleface Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 My OH has never had a problem getting 'long' length pants in Melb. Have you tried DJs or High and Mighty? If one of them don't have what you are looking for you must be a giant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ptp113 Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Care to share the retailers you're referring to? Too many to mention. Denims always come in different lengths as well but maybe they aren't 'pants'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnyMac Posted November 4, 2014 Author Share Posted November 4, 2014 Thanks Freckleface, appreciated. A 34" leg is standard in the UK. (along with 32" and 30"). I'll give your suggestions a whirl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul1Perth Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 If you aren't too worried about super quality BigW, Kmart do some decent chino type work pants. Just Jeans are pretty good and do the same type of pants in different leg lengths, their own brand are OK, usually in blue, black or a cream colour. I would be a bit worried about buying pants on-line, I like to try mine on as each brand seems to be a different fit. No good having the leg length right if the waist is baggy, legs too tight loose etc. If you want something decent try Myers or David Jones. I got some really nice ones from there. There is just as much selection here as the UK, in all price ranges, just a matter of knowing where to go. I can get away with shorts here for most of the year.:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Ive always struggled top find 30" short leg jeans and trousers here. Usually end up stocking up my suitcase from the UK and more recently M & S on line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
