I have mentioned it in the past , but facing the challenge again , bought a nice new 2024 range jacket and ordered the matching pant . the challenge is in hoping the 34 fits the tube , but in the process of making it go away 
.The challenge is however in that all the pants fitted the legs are way to long and the knees end up on you shins , One size does not fil all , but in the case of the pant ordered they only come in one size , no options of a short leg . So my question to you guys , do you just live with the pant being on the long side ?
last year I was desperately looking for a proper pair of pants , considered buying used , nothing ticked the boxes for me , wanted pant that is waterproof with a good winter lining. Ended up buying a new pair , from the end of range rack , problem was that they were xxl , so tooo big , with no time on hand I had then made shorter , and after the trip took them back to the tailor to have them made smaller , but trying to reduce a 38 to a 34 is no easy task , and although the pant fit better they are still to big in the leg and butt . Now there is a option to go back to the tailor and ask if they can trim it more , but the cost involved is huge , I have spent more on tailoring than what the pant cost to buy ,
Ant to top this my partner crapped on me saying I cut the pant to short , in my defence I was bear feet and the tailor measured it that way , but with boots on , they tend too ride up a bit and then looks like they way to short .
This has me thinking not to go the tailor route again if I buy a new pair , And as for the fitted knee guard , to remove them from the pockets and wear a loose knee guard.
Any insights on the pant problem , as I believe the option we have are pretty slim .
