Tall trousers

6’5” here. Tried most of the obvious brands over the years like Fjällräven, Arc’teryx, Patagonia. The “long” versions. Still not right.

The frustrating thing is it’s not just inseam length, it’s the whole proportion. Brands just add length to a standard pattern rather than designing for a tall body.

Started working on a made to measure solution specifically for this, one trouser, built to your exact measurements. Very early stages but there’s a waiting list at wearreave.com if anyone’s interested.

Tall hiking trousers

6’5” here. Been hiking for years and I’ve never once found a pair of technical trousers that actually fit properly. Not really. The inseam is always short, the proportions are off, and the seat pulls every time you take a big step uphill.

I’ve tried the obvious brands. The “long” versions. Still not right.

Recently had a suit altered. Mad that I’ve had trousers made to measure for sitting at a desk, but never for actually being out in the hills. Seems a bit backwards.

So I’ve started trying to make one. No product yet, still very early days. Just curious whether other tall hikers feel the same?

Tall walking trousers

I’m 6’5 with a 36” inseam and I genuinely cannot find walking/hiking trousers that fit properly.

What are the least bad options people have found?
