Anyone else have a problem with being tall and skinny?

I need at least XL pants for length, but I've got a 32 waist, so even with a belt the 38-44 waist that comes on most XL pants is ridiculous. Gets all scrunched up even if I'm sagging. I'm just wondering how many people have the same problem, and if there are some baggy looking pants out there that don't come with the waist size for a middle aged beer belly.

I'm 6'3" and 160#, my little bro is almost 6'5" and about 155# I'm guessing, so we're kinda extreme, but we're thinking there could be a good market for longer pants with a smaller waist size. What do you think?
 
try some obermeyer revert LONGS... they come in a long style so you can wear a size smaller waist with the same length
 
you beat me to it. i'm about 6'2 and 160lbs, and i wore obermeyer reverts last year and they worked out well. i didnt get the longs because they didnt make long in the color i wanted, but if you're taller than me, the longs should definitely work for you. i still needed to wear a belt with them, since the waist on them i believe is 36-38, but it wasnt ridiculous like a lot of other pants are.
 
im 6'4" and 175 pounds, i wear an xl revert but they have the adjustable waist band so they fit my 33 waist
 
ya im 6'1'' and have a 29 waist and all the ski pants ive tried on get hella scrunched up when i try to wear a belt with them
 
im 6ft 140 and i just wear XL oakley links. i dont mid the scrunched upness because the belt keeps it were i want it. i havent had much of a problem because i dont really care.
 
I just bought some foursquare xl pants and they dont scrunch at all at the top because they have the elastic and adjustable waist. The waist fits perfectly even though i am a 32. Just some advice. You need to get pants with the adjustable waist.
 
i'm 6'2", 160lbs, and i have a size L Sessions pants that have an adjustable waist, i am going to get a pair of XL's this winter that will still fit my size 32 waist.
 
Awesome, so it seems like the Reverts might be the way to go. I just got Siver Pivotals for the insulation and the color (orange), but it really isn't technical gear - there isn't any way to cinch them up.
 
dude thats kinda scary. im 6' 3" also and i only weigh like 165. almost the same as u do. I got a 32 or 34 waist and i have problems finding baggy pants and shit. pisses me off. they need a big and tall company for ski pants and other shit. glad to no im not the only one that has this problem
 
6' 1'', 150 lbs.

i just ordered a pair of Large session pants, they run big...i'm pretty sure they'll work fine
 
well you could be tall skinny and ginger, so consider yourself lucky

but yeah my cousin is mad tall and skinny, he was alot of trouble finding shorts that cover his knees but don't fall off
 
220 holy shit! and im the same height as you, that means i would have to gain 50+ pounds
 
how would he be 6"9" if he had no shins? also, how would that make sense even if he was 6'9" with no shins?
 
hahahahahahahahahahahahahah no, you said he was 6'9", meaning as he is no longer, sorry for the smart ass comment
 
FUCK YEA i have a problem with that!!!

i was just about to buy triple_strum's pants, but they have a 36 waist and are medium! ghaaaa
 
haha. ok i get it. but no, he grew to 6'11" and then they removed his petuitary. he was 6'7" at 13, he 17 now and 6'11" as i said.
 
holy moly guys eat some damn food! i'm 6'3'' and 200 and xl pants are good. not oakley though they're small. special blend is the way to go.
 
6'2" 155 and the tall burtons work fine except they don't have the same sag nigga look to em. the only way i've found is to get suspenders. this works wonders. the ronins are some ill fuckers
 
I wouldn't exactly call it a problem. The problem is when you drink too many beers... and your tall and skinny...and fat all at the same time.. LIKE ME! woo.
 
Yah im 6' 2 an 160 an hav that same problem sometimes, but wearin a tight belt tend to help me out enough, and drinking more beer, gettin more munchies
 
Ah, there's another good idea, thanks. I've been thinking about getting some anyways, didn't think about it helping me gain a little girth, but sweet...
