Also try Ann Taylor online.
i have the same thing going on, 5’8 and all legs and all arms.
I used to love Lands End until they started to do funky things with the crotches. My crotch is not halfway down to me knees...

And this is why I don't like sewing pants for kids. I don't know what kid the pattern companies used to design their patterns, but the pants crotches are always way too low! This was true when I sewed for my kids, and it's still true when I sew for my grandkids.

Yep! They're designed as though the child is wearing double diapers!

I am 5'6" but have a 35-36" inseam but am short waisted. I have found that there is a big difference between talls & longs. The talls are longer in the crotch as well as the length where the longs are just longer legged, which work well for me. Good luck finding what you need. I have found the talls at Express.

I have long legs (I'm almost 6 ft), and need tall size pants. I'm looking for a basic pair of tan/beige dress pants. Easy right? Wrong. My go to store used to be JCPenney - online. I think they have changed the demographic they are trying to appeal to. I go not want skinny pants, and I like my pants to ride at my waist, not somewhere below my waist. I've been watching for months, and anything that slightly appeals to me is out of stock.
Does anyone know a good online source for tall dress pants?? No local stores carry them.
OK, Thanks for any suggestions.

I think the issue with Penney's is definitely the "demographics" as you say. They're probably aiming for a group that follows trends more than those of us who want things like basic, reliable chinos year after year. My guess is they've made a mistake. The trendy young folks prefer to shop at trendy, new mall shops and may shun Penney's because it has a long-standing connection with people more like us!

Try Duluth Trading Company, they have talls in pants and talls (Long Tails) in shirts. These are 2" longer than regular. I love them. The cotton knit in the tanks, T's, turtlenecks is wonderful, is soft and doesn't wrinkle.
