LONG BF jeans?

Elly

Veteran

Who sells extra long BF jeans? I tried gap and the 32 is just too short -- I also tried big star I believe and the fit wasn't good on me. The 33.5" inch inseam of the Long Always Straights are barely long enough for flat flats with no scrunch, no cuff.

Is anyone out there making a long BF jean?

Elly have you tried looking at the tall size inseams for BF jeans? My full length BF jeans are "tall", as a shortie (5'3") they are very long on me (which is what I wanted).

I'm 6" taller than you Aida, plus I have long legs--- I think that that might be the difference! I would love to have my jeans fit like yours, but I ordered the Talls in the BF jeans from gap and they are significantly shorter than the Longs in other styles.

Basically, they are ankle length unrolled : (

Hah ah gotcha, that's tough then! My legs are not short enough to necessitate petites so going from regular to tall is fine enough for me. I have noticed that the GAP's BF jeans seem run a range of lengths, but certainly all shorter than standard lengths since they're meant to look best rolled up. It may be worth looking at looser straight legs, even if not meant to be BF jeans, so that you get the length you are after. My darker pair of BF jeans is just a relaxed straight leg, back from before there were a lot of good actual BF jean options around.

Long Tall Sally has 34" 36" & 38" inseam jeans. Can't link on my phone.

Eddie Bauer - not sure if they have a boyfriend cut right now but their regular length is 33" and long is I think 36".

Also, Target, if you can find the right style - they actually carry talls in store, at least in my area.

Elly, how are you wearing your BF jeans? They aren't supposed to be long.

Have you thought of a real mans jean? I tried a slim cut mans jean from H&M and it fit my curvy figure surprisingly well. The slim cut jean fit me like a bf jean. I think it was size 28 or 29. My skinny jean size is 27.

Oh. And it was long length.

Angie--- I want a pair to wear this winter. Still want the baggy look, and maybe even want the hems cuffed/rolled still. The GAP version in Tall is a VERY cropped look on me when rolled to hide the hems as usual. Completely unrolled the Talls don't touch my ankle bones.

You could try a regular jean sized up to get the BF fit.

Ella, if you find some that work please let me know! I have been hunting for some myself and having the same problem. 5'9" and long legs, and they have all been ridiculously short.

I have considered purchasing men's jeans and having the waist/hips altered if needed. I tried my husbands jeans, he's very tall, 6'4", and I thought they had potential. They were obviously too long and loose.

Full length BF jeans are very hard to find if you still want the roll. Without the roll is easier. Try True Religion and AG's Nikki's and size up.

Elly, I gave up and went over to the men's side. Currently breaking in a pair of black raw-denim selvedge jeans, inseams stated as 36 but measure 38 before any washing.

I'm not going to have them hemmed until they're broken in and have been washed several times. Ideally they'll work uncuffed with heels and rolled up with flats. Right now there's a lot of cuff material to work with, definitely not a YLF-approved look but for me slow fashion is worth it.

I may have to go to the dark side.
