Boring Inseam Question
As opposed to an exciting inseam question.
Anyway, I have to order some groomsman pants online for a wedding. And the pants appear to come with free hemming, which I would rather use than have to pay to have them hemmed after they arrive. I just measured my inseam as they instructed and came out with 25". However, based on when I have bought jeans, I distinctly remember my length measurement being 29". I don't want to end up with pants that are 4" too short or 4" too long. I am 5'8" with pretty short legs for my frame (and I don't have a sweet jumpshot, all of which pretty much killed my NBA dreams). So, for a 5'8" guy, does a 25" or a 29" inseam seem to be the right number? |

29 is on the short side, so if you do have short legs, that would be it.
25 would be extremely freakish. |

Also I have no jumpshot whatsoever, although my handle is pretty decent. |

The one time I was in a wedding, i went to a local tux place and had them take all my measurements. I cant remember if it either cost me a couple bucks or if they didnt charge me at all, but it was good to remove the guesswork.
Might be an option worth considering. 25" seems a little crazy short to me. Something in the 28-29 range seems more likely to me, off-hand for that height (which is basically the same as mine).

One thing I forgot to mention is that I'm hung like a bull. That might throw things off a bit.
