I'm always looking for longer jeans because I'm about 5'10, but this will certainly save me time and money :) Great advice!

But the best option is not to tumble dry pants at all. Clothing is best hanger dried. Clothes get ruined when you tumble dry them unfortunately.

I've got a pair of pants that I'm saving to do myself with the iron-tape. Sewing is not my forte, but I'm a champ with the iron. My tailor has used this method on many of my pants.

I fight for every centimeter of length with my pants!
