With most tuxedos, the pants come "unhemmed".  To be on the safe side, you are given plenty of extra fabric on each leg of the pants.  Once you receive your trousers, you would then either have a "local tailor" or "friend/family member who can sew" hem the pants for you.  This allows you to have your pants hemmed to your preferred inseam for a perfect fit.

 

Sometimes, customers may get a little confused on why they select an "inseam range" on their order form.  For example, a "short rise inseam" is listed on our site as "27 - 29", a "regular rise inseam" is listed as "30 - 32", a "long rise inseam" is listed as "33 - 35", and an "X-Long rise inseam" is listed as 35"+.

 

Regardless of what inseam you select, you will still receive pants with 37+ inches of fabric.  We still ask for your "inseam range" because this allows us to know what "rise" pants are best for you.  The "rise" is the length from your "waist" to your "crotch inseam".  Without getting too technical, an easy way to decipher your pant "rise" is simply going based on height.  Shorter guys (5'7" and under) tend to go with a "short rise" trouser; regular size guys (5'8" to 6') tend to go with a "regular rise" trouser; tall guys (6'1" - 6'3") will usually go with a "long rise" trousers; and really tall guys (6'3" +) will opt for the "X-Long" rise trouser.

 

Back to the "unhemmed pants issue" ... even though you are given enough fabric to put a "cuff" in the pants (similar to some mens dress suit styles), it is recommended that you go with a "straight hem" on your tuxedo.
