KILLER APP. ALERT!! - Specify your inseam online - in 1/4" increments, down to 20", up to 36"
Honestly, killer app. for buying pants online. Read on...
I have, for many years, bought chinos/khakis online. I did this at either Eddie Bauer or L.L. Bean because I get a 35 waist and the stores only have 34 or 36. So, I have short inseam. I would have to get the pants, then measure, mark, find a seamstress, get them hemmed, pay for them, pick them up, - very time consuming. I'm not whining - I'm just a very busy person with a lot better things to do then going through all of this just to get a pair of pants.
http://www.eddiebaur.com I can spend 6 minutes, order my pants, they show up and they fit. My 35/26.25's just showed up.
This kind of thing is very helpful to busy people that are hard to fit. 6 minutes, vs. drive to store - they don't have what you want, drive to 3 other stores, then get them hemmed, etc. I love the Internet! Until recently I thought it was just for pron!
