Default Pants! - calling all short ar$e$

I must have tried on 20-30 pairs of textile pants today.

ALL of the ones that would close round my middle (Iam not that fat really), had the knee armour half way down my shins, and my feet dissappeared into the ends


So any reccomendations to fit 34 waist 28 leg. (30 at a push)

I need to do something cause the ones I bought last year looked bad then, and look like a pile of old rags now!

Absolute Deadline 5th November cause the old ones BURN then.

MADE TO MEASURE not as daft as it sounds but if you can have leathers made why not textile

im the same size as you.

to be honest. just the top of the knee pad is supposed to cover your knee.

when you kneel down, you will see that they sit nicely in place.

i got a pair of akido python pants, buffalo imalo pants, hein gerike tribal leathers (the **** bit is a bit baggy on me though) and RST leather trousers . .and they all seem to fit relativly ok.

i do wear boots though, and they keep the knee pads in place, when i take the boots off though, they drop a few inches.

Try JTS clothing, they do 3 different leg lengths.

If you don't mind the expense, Rukka do shorter sizes and you don't get better textiles.

I can fully recommend them!

Thanks people.

Ive just had a look at the Buffalo and JTS stuff on the net.
Both have dealers within travelling range so I'll be off to try some more tomorrow.

Kate, going to have a look at the Rukka gear now.
Thanks again
