Just a thought on blue jeans. Out of curiosity, a guy went and bought some blue genes online. I have a challenge with box stores as they fail to carry my size. The Inseam is the most challenging, that would be a 29", not the tallest guy but can get it online in a couple days. Waist is a 31", again not found in my local stores.
I want to shop local to support my businesses, 30 X 32"s was all that was available. It's all available online and in stock. The local businesses have no answer.
Bought Levi's and Wranglers, the Wranglers are kicking ass on durability, they don't fit as well. Levi's used to be known for this durability thing, they are now about brand and style.
Then we have body types to fit the jeans, not sure what that was modeled after.
Just looking for fit, finish and real durability.
Be Blessed and thank you for your thoughts and experiences.

Find the style you like, get the next biggest size closest to your desired size at the most expensive price you are willing to pay, and then......

Yes, adds some $ to it, but better yet, fish for a lifetime: https://lmgtfy.app/?q=how+to+become+a+seamstress
(Do I really need to add the s/ to this???)
I’ve had pretty good luck with Buffalo Jeans - they are frequently available at Costco for under $20.
This needs a Seinfeld meme or 2.
Even if you end up ordering on line, you should check as close a pair as you can in a store to see what they currently mean by inseam.
Oh, you're just braggin'! :)
I need a 29 inseam too and sometimes I can find them locally in my small town. Inseam of 30 is common, but 29 less so. I hate the 30s because I step on them so I won't buy them unless I can find 29s.
Want a great track?

I HATE Lycra and spandex in jeans! Jeans should be made of cotton and nothing else. My ancient Levis started to finally wear out and I went to buy replacements a couple years ago and was so dismayed to find that they didn’t make them anymore. I bought some house brand all-cotton at Walmart and like them, but it’s not the same.
$200 for a pair of jeans? Sheesh...
Yes an Land's end has in between sizes not just your standard even sizes, in fact they will make your length anything you want, in 1/4's I believe.
What I find amusing is that back in the day I would wear out jeans and yes, the knees would eventually rip. Nowadays kids are so impatient that they BUY them that way, it’s hilarious to me.

You pull down its genes! /rimshot

If you can find a jean you like buy a few, one size larger, and have a tailor or seamstress custom fit them to your body.
LL Bean has the best size selection. Odd and even waist and inseam. Reasonably priced. I wore LL Beans for 15 years, still have a couple of pairs that have some color, the others are faded from the washing. May order some more soon. Tried the western jeans sold at the western boot stores. Ariat and Cinch, Cheap quality and about $75 per pair. They don’t last. I wear jeans to the office,and the ranch!
Yeah, I like to buy American but at some point manufacturers have to get real.
I bought two pairs of these USA made jeans that im happy with:

I don’t buy Pakistani Levi’s.
Buy what fits your waist and butt, and have the leg hems altered to fit you exactly. You should be able to get away with ten to twenty bucks from a dry cleaner’s sewing station or a local grandma. Jeans that fit right and that you feel good in last for many years.
