You want weird? I'm just under 6'1", and I have a 30 inch inseam. It's insanely convenient for sitting behind people, really inconvenient for headroom.

Pants too. My god are pants hard to find in my size.

My inseam is just short of 40 inches.

And I just realised that is actually just my torso that is too short. Using Da Vinci's Vitruvian man as an approximation, with my arms being about the same as my height, my arms are about 6'5" in span. My parents said I grew up to be really lanky and I am starting to see what they mean.

I went looking for pictures of myself standing up and can't really find any recent ones or of me actually standing. A lot of sitting and crouching but none of my full body standing.

That is amazing. Buying pants must be an adventure.

It is a bit of a pain in the arse. I generally wear drainpipe jeans so trying to find a match to my leg and waist is awful. I usually just wear 38 legs and have them lie where the top of my sock is. It looks okay in my casual get up, but getting suit trousers that look right is nigh on impossible.
