It seems that clothing makers think that all Americans are 5'10 or taller.

Does anyone know where to get tights for a short guy? I'm a 36 waist but have a 30" inseam. (Performance tights fit me well but I have an extra 2" of fabric.)

i'm 5'10", but my inseam is 30...32 if you go to the ground. most of my height is in my torso. i got a pair of XL canari tights from dicks sporting goods that seem to be a good length... maybe check those, they were kinda cheap too.

I usually just bunch the extra fabric around my knees. I haven't had any chaffing problems. This also worked when I played high school football.
