The Best Places to Buy Long-Inseam Jeans According to an Actual Tall Person - Fashionista Posted: 04 Nov 2019 07:00 AM PST Because your ankles deserve to be covered for once. We've all done the ankle-boot-to-make-up-for-jean-length thing. No more! Photo: Imaxtree I am 6' tall. Not in a "men lying on Tinder when they're actually 5'8" way but in a "my wingspan is 72 whole-ass-inches" way. In recent seasons, I've relished in the fact that cropped, flood-length pants have become trendy, since that means far less work and I can just buy regular pants without getting Urkel comments. But it's almost 2020 and more and more companies are offering longer inseams for those of us whose ankles are always cold. In my never ending quest to stock my closet with a variety of 32" inch inseam and longer jeans, below are some of the denim brands and styles I've found that get the job done. Madewell Madewell not only stocks tall jeans for those who are 5'9"-5'11" but it also stocks "taller" jeans for us 6' and above folks. Styles include sleek black jeggings, distressed mid-rise jeans and classic vintage-y looking straight jeans. I can attest to the fact that they are, in fact, good for tall people because I am currently wearing a pair as I type this. Good American Not all of Khloe Kardashian and Emma Grede's Good American jeans come in long inseams, but the high-rise and stretch on the 35"-inseam skinnies make for a nice option if you're not one for flares or bootcut. It also stocks the elusive size 15, and up to a 24. ASOS ASOS has a whole subsection of its site for tall people. Dresses! Shirts! Jackets! It's a veritable wonderland for those of us with lengthy limbs. It usually stocks some more fun options as well, if you have enough blue and black jeans to survive well into the (impending) apocalypse.  Warp + Weft Warp + Weft's offerings veer more classic, but every style comes in straight and plus sizes and they're all under $100 and sustainability-minded. Sometimes simple, especially when it comes to jeans, is best. Gap I mean, of course Gap has some great denim options for us leggy folks. That would be like being surprised when McDonald's has cheeseburgers. Sizing goes from 24-35 and there are plenty of standard options, as well as some fun paint-splattered, leopard print and not-blue-or-black picks. DL1961 Another sustainability-aware brand, DL1961's jeans are made from ethically-sourced cotton. Styles range from 1970's-style flares to the skinniest of skinny jeans and everything in between.  Citizens of Humanity If you want to splurge a little, Citizens of Humanity is a great option. The celebrity-favorite brand offers a variety of styles, including basic slim jeans and some fun split flares. American Eagle American Eagle is another retailer that offers both "long" (30") and "X-long" (32") jeans. There aren't just tall styles; every jean is available in an extended length from flared denim to vintage-y looking mom jeans. They also stock a lot of styles in a specifically-curvy fit which offers a 13" hip vs. waist difference, as opposed to the standard 10".  Express Last but not least, Express offers a wide variety of styles from basics to upgraded basics with fun details like front seams and zippers and other things normally afforded to our shorter counterparts.  Please note: Occasionally, we use affiliate links on our site.

The Economics of Turning Cotton Into Jeans - Truth or Fiction Posted: 04 Nov 2019 08:09 AM PST Claim A cotton module produces enough material for nearly 2,600 pairs of jeans, for which the farmer behind it makes around USD$4,000. A long-running graphic illustrating some of the costs of the making a pair of blue jeans has been revived again on Facebook, but unlike many memes that appear and reappear time and again, it is largely accurate. The graphic originated in November 2014; it showed a photograph of a cotton module alongside the caption: The 2580 pairs of blue jeans made from this cotton module retail for about $103,200. The farmer receives $4000 for it. The graphic has since been posted on Pinterest and other platforms, and saw light again on Facebook in October 2019 when a separate post was shared thousands of times. One expert told us that the math used regarding most of the claims in the meme does stand up to scrutiny. Kevin Worthington, broadcast division director for the Alabama Farmers Federation, broke down the process for us: The cotton picker goes through the field collecting the "lint" and, when its basket becomes full, dumps the raw cotton into a module builder. Here it is compressed into the module that looks very much like a loaf of bread. This is done to make it easier to transport and to protect the cotton from the weather. By the time a module is completed, it will contain between 13 and 15 bales of cotton. One bale of cotton can produce 215 pair of jeans so some quick math would indicate that a module would actually produce nearly 2800 pairs of jeans. Worthington also said, that the $4,000 estimate for the module "is about right": The average price for cotton is 67 cents per pound and a bale weighs 480 lbs. Again, considering a minimum of 13 bales per module, that brings the total to just short of $4200. Regarding the cost, I cannot address the total cost of the jeans but (13 bales x 480 lbs. x .67 = 4180.80.) Because the cost is nearly the same — allowing for some fluctuation, which should be expected due to variations in the price of cotton worldwide — we rate this meme True.
