Can't find khakis OR jeans, WTF!!

I'm 6'5". Meaning, finding pants is damn near impossible. I used to buy khakis from Dockers, but they stopped carrying 36" inseam, and I wear 32x36 slim fit. Now, I literally can't find them from ANYWHERE. Any other guys having the same issue? If so, where you do purchase khakis from?

I'm 6'3" and I've been buying khakis from Bonobos for a while now. Well made and fit great. They carry 32W, 36L sizes....

Thanks!!

About to order like one of every color in slim straight fit haha.

Now hopefully they won't shrink when I drop them off at the dry cleaners. 37 or 38" inseam would have been preferred, but I know I'd never find that.

I have found the shrinkage to be minimal and the sizing very true. They do sell jeans as well but I have never purchased their jeans...

umm.. yes? what's wrong with khakis? maybe your issue is more with the color?

khaki, chino, trousers.. basically cotton woven pants with slight differences, no?

OP.. maybe a big and tall store?

I was going to post this exactly minus the first 5 words.

Khakis? Really? Do you guys live in the mid-west?

Suit with no tie or jeans. If your jeans don't look appropriate for "business casual," stop shopping at Walmart.

Ha! What a tool... My jeans look just fine but jeans are never acceptable for work except for a casual Friday.

I have a friend who is 6'6 and skinny. He buys pants unhemmed and then takes them to a tailor, who makes them fit perfectly.

Otherwise...good luck! Not sure of your budget, but www.suitsupply.com sell long pants.

Says the guy who lives in Lousianna. The fact that you brought up "casual Friday" and likely have such a thing at your workplace speaks volumes. Do you guys have Hawaiin shirt day, too?

I put in 3 years at a bulge bracket out of business school and now work at a boutique M&A house. I know a little more about style than you do.

^ Right... And you have a ten inch dick too!

Given your attention to detail (Louisianna?), you'll go far!

I'll assume based on your comments that you live in the land of fruits and nuts. I spent 15 years in investment banking so call back in about ten years and we can talk...

^ Yes, really nice pair of Dockers you chose! Khakis is a generic term for cotton/twill pants. Choose your term, chinos, washed chinos, cotton pants, khakis, they are all the same. Your picture is clearly an awful pair of "khakis"... Do you not wear any cotton pants other than jeans? Wool pants only? Maybe a nice pair of polyester spandex pants to handle the waistline! So like FC4, suit pants or jeans are the only acceptable style?

To me, these are "khakis".... Pick your color.

34 x 32 for me, most common size in trousers. 32 x 36 means you need to shop at the Bean Stalk store.

See, I've checked them out, but I like slim fitting pants as I'm tall and skinny, and big and tall just have...well, big and tall clothes haha.

Yeah, those are not representational of khakis for modern fashion, imo...not even fashion in fact.

The ones kscarrol posted are more like the khakis he and I are talking about.
