dude, NOBODY wants to see your ankle

Get the 32", take them to the cleaner's, have them hemmed. Spend the 5 bucks, or whatever it is. Going to school, the limiting factor was thigh size, I did a lot of cycling. 32 waist 34 inseam is usually pretty easy to find, fortunately. I have been that size for a long time, like since HS.

Good genes make it easier to fit into your jeans

I hate you skinny fellas. One thing good 'bout being fat; I'm never mistaken for a catcher.

Here's a good/cheap source for customer shirts, http://www.execshirts.com/measure-me-custom-dress-shirt.htm . I tested one with the average material, it fits perfectly.
That's why I haven't gone yet. I know they'll be amazing and I'll want to replace every pair of pants that I have, which I'm sure I really can't afford.

I hope that's a baseball reference, but I'm afraid it's not

By the way they are capris and they are made for men. They just look stupid.

Tailor. Tailor. Tailor.

Guys, buy good quality clothes. Have them tailored and wear them till they wear out. I have the waist pulled in on every pair of pant I own. You can too.

Good lord, I thought I was the only one with this problem. I have a 33 waist (a fun size to locate) but my biggest fitting issue is in the thigh. Thank god for "loose fit" jeans.

ditto on the thigh issue. I have to buy baggy style pants, or they don't fit. I float between a 34 and 36 waist, depending on how active I've been. Bannana Republic usually has the odd waist sizes and for those with the odd inseam, just have 'em hemmed as others have said.

I buy all my suits, pants and shirts from www.Landsend.com

I get all my suits, shirts and pants there. The waist sizes go by inch so yes they have the odd sizes. Inseam is any size you want by quarter inch. This includes khakis and jeans. And if you get them and they aren't what you want or don't fit, then take them back to your local Sears store for a refund on the spot.

I was just out of college and my first job requiring dress pants and tie.

I go to the mens store looking for 28" pants and the guy tells me "We only have MENS sizes here"

buy a half size bigger and invest in a few belts.

and only really good looking fit men that can easily kick my butt should wear capris...gay or not, i am not getting beat up by a man in short pants.
