Couple of free talk questions:

  1. My long sleeve shirt length is in-between sizes. Do I lean towards the shorter or longer length? 34/35, for reference.

  2. Chino length - inseam 32 is too long, inseam 30 (with a manufacturer finished length of 29.25-29.5”) hits right at the ball of my ankle, giving a quarter break or no break depending on the inseam length. Is it too short?

  1. I would go longer and get it tailored shorter

  2. My preferred length is half break but the shortest I would go is no break. Up to you really

Thank you!

Although I shouldn’t complain much since most products fit me well off the shelf, I wish I could get inseam lengths that gave me a half break without needing a tailor (buy longer and spend another $20-25 per item to tailor)

Yeah that's life basically. 2 inch increments are not adequate... gotta tailor shit. Learn to sew? Apparently hemming trousers is straightforward. Never done it myself.
