Pants: follow-up

[redbird]

With the help of a knowledgeable and attentive salesperson, I now have a pair of Levi's 505 jeans, size 36/30. They don't come shorter than 30, so I will have to have them shortened (this is straightforward).

I tried a 38/30 first, because rounding up seemed more likely to work than rounding down, but that was too big and the 36 fits.

I have also established that Levi's 501s are not comfortable for me: the rise is too short, making them uncomfortably snug in the crotch.

I need more pants, including some in black (505s come in two colors, dark blue and light blue); any further suggestions based on knowing that a Levi's 505 is a reasonable fit for me would be welcome.

I'm going to pursue jesse_the_k's suggestion of the Carhart's made for dairy farmers, as well.

yep -- the lower (but not low for most people) rise makes the difference.
