I don't know if you can buy pants with 31 in. inseams... I don't like buying clothes either, but it seems like pants only come in even-numbered sizes for inseams.
If I'm wrong about that, it's because my mind is blocking out part of the pants-buying-experience.  |
In a previous life I spent 7-years managing a tuxedo rental place.
If you buy your wool pants - or any natural fiber material - I would recommend you having them run through the laundry/dry cleaning process before hemming them as there could possibly be some shrinkage. Not the same as George's problem on that Seinfeld episode, but shrinkage all the same.
Also, if your cleaners doesn't have a tailor go to a tux shop.
