Jeans for tall men?

Hello,

Right I'm on the hunt for some jeans for the OH :D He's 6ft6 and ideally needs 36inch leg but I'm having a nightmare finding any he likes :( Usually he buys Lee jeans and last time he had to buy 34inch leg as thats all they had. Now he's using his motorbike more his current pair are on the last legs :eek: and the back pockets are tearing themselves away from the jeans :rotfl:and leaving some interesting holes!!

Anyone out there thats got a tall OH or any tall blokes that can help me out in finding some jeans that will fit? Pretty please :D

    Burtons? My brother is 6ft5 and buys all of his jeans from there... I'm not sure what his leg measurement is though, he does tend to wear his jeans hanging off his bum :S

    Some of them are on the pricier side (£40-ish) but he wears them until they're literally threadbare, so they work out as a good investment.

    Thanks :T Never thought of Burtons, not sure why. I've mentioned it to OH and his words were "do they have Lee"? I've just told him he might have to rethink the make and try something else. He had a sulk but now understands after I pointed out if he is too fussy that this pair of jeans will definatley be his last so he better be carefull with them ;)

    Oh brilliant I didn't think Next did that long, thanks, DH is 6'9" and needs at least a 36" leg. I get him jeans and trousers from Topman, M&S they do a tall range and online at Bigfish.
    Gap UK stopped doing 36" leg grr.

    My hubby has the same problem. We get all his jeans from Slaters Menswear. Maybe there is a branch near you.

    We get a lot of jeans for my OH (6ft8) at the GAP outlet shops if we're near one. We've been to one at Glastonbury and one near Leeds in the last few years and they usually have extra long sizes with a bit of searching. Alternatively he has ordered them in through our local GAP in the past and they have had them sent over from the US - not sure if they still offer this service.
    thanks for the other ideas!
