Thanks: Gave 206, Got 407 | Attention tall people - where do you buy your trousers?
I am really having trouble finding some decent trousers for work.
I am a 38" waist, but also a 36" leg and it is a complete nightmare trying to find trousers!
I know about the high and mighty chain but don't like anything they sell.
Does anyone else know where to look? I've spent about an hour online just now looking.

Have you tried GAP? They do all kinds of sizes, including odd sizes for the likes of me, that want a 33" waist with a 34 leg.

I suppose I have kind of a kooky fashion sense and really like the plaid trousers in this link: YesStyle.com: Purplow: Plaid-Check Flat Front Trousers - Free International Shipping on orders over US$150
The don't stock my size which sucks and none of the links above have anything I like in my size.
Appriciate the effort though, thanks.
Can anyone help me?

Debenhams were stocking Centaur stuff, more suit based apparel, but should cater for your size, although they might have to order in.

Next directory is pretty good. They do an extra long leg in most things. They aren't available in the stores generally though.

Next's idea of extra long leg , like many high street shops, maxes out at 35" inside leg. I need 36". Marks's occasionally get them that long, but you have to be lucky to bag a pair or two. They're like hen's teeth!
