This video doesn’t apply to me but I like your videos 😀👍
Thanks for making this video. I bought the Endura shorts after seeing this video last year... Love them so much I just got another set!
Bought the Endura SL Pros they are perfect. Thanks for the video and advice.
Surprisingly this has been Super Helpful! I measure up almost spot on with your measurements and I haven't found anything to fit me well in South Africa. Thanks!
It’s been a while, great to see another vlog.👍
The struggle is real bro. I'm 6 feet tall and 165lbs. Usually my bib shorts are size small. Good to see more content from your channel, it's been a little while :)
Great feature. I tend to have this issue with bib shorts too. At around 78kg and 183cm tall, so you'd think I'd fall into the clothing brands sizing criteria pretty well. However, my thighs seem long for my leg length, and most shorts, if they fit in the pad and backside areas will be too short on the leg. Some good advice in the video about what to look for. Despite riding for over 30 years, I didn't appreciate, "long", bibs were a thing!
Another suggestion for you to try is pedal mafia tech bib, i have this problem as well and these are nice and long.
you should try "the black bibs" long version. !!! they are really long.
I have the same issue, I found NEOPRO cycling gear from Australia fits me well, best cuff on the end of the shorts I've ever worn. Great CEO too, she always gets back to you via email regarding sizing.
180cm and 63kg and I have the exact same problem. I bought new shorts last week and as usual the waist fitment is fine but the leg length or rather lack of leg length sucks. Up-sizing to get a longer leg is pointless as a belt with cycling shorts is definitely not cool. Awesome video!
I've been wearing Rapha Thigh Warmers (not for sale anymore), just to get an extra 4cm of length on my Rapha Pro Team Long size medium bib shorts. Mavic and Pactimo make thigh warmers. They're not as comfortable as just wearing shorts but they are nice in temps about 14 to 20c.
Ah the video I have always wanted !
Just 1 minute into this video and directly feel so adressed! I am very close to your sizing. Thank you for catching this topic!
I am 186cm and 60kg. Doing quite good with Santini Bibs, because they have very (!) good grippers on the higher end products and so leg length is okay for me. Best one I have is an old one from 2XU in size XS but sadly this was discontinued. Still searching for a cargo bib but without luck yet...
SIX2 bib shorts, great fabric and pad (subjective, I know), longer leg length than usual on my other bib shorts and comfortable straps.
Went on the same journey as you several years ago and also landed on the Endura Pro SL long leg. I’m 198cm and 82kg, so not as slim as you and I don’t have issues with getting bibs to fit my thighs, but the length on these is great. Also really nice quality and not too expensive, although the price has gone up since I bought them.
which size and pad did you go for? i'm 192cm and 78kg and unsure about the fit...
@@lilfinesse I’ve got wide and medium. Definitely prefer the medium.
Your videos are getting so professional, NJ! This was pretty funny for me, I used to wrestle decades ago. With your measurements, if you wrestled, you would be referred to as a spider lol. If you were ontop you could drape your arms and legs totally around an opponent on all fours, easily, which is why we would refer to you as a spider. I was about 10 lbs lighter than you and 5" shorter. Now I am 20 lbs heavier than you (healthier weight). Your mentioning the reference for how you measure is great. I went to bibs, so comfortable and it reminds me of wrestling - similar shoulder straps. Nukeproof has a bib that has ample length, you might try that but maybe not the quality you are looking for. The legs are a bit big though. 2 rear pockets and 2 minis on each thigh, which i love. I now wear baggies, i have a plastic bottle shirt that works great, not having a shirt hugging me, plus my gut is a bit big. For trails and shopping i like wearing an mtb overpant - wiping out on the trails easily puts holes in our expensive bibs, a bit hot, but not bad for wet commutes, shopping and off roading. Thx again for your great vids. I love your background wheel. I am thinking of making a lamp from an old 26" wheel, i gave one wheel to someone who's brake track delaminated.
198cm, 75 kg! This speaks to me! I'm actually using the 7Mesh MK3 bibs in small and found that they work fine but maybe a bit too tight down there. Thank god the shoulder straps feel so good because otherwise they wouldn't work for me. I have ordered the cargo version in medium and should get it next week. Hoping they are perfect for me. I really like the seamless look too.
Yea dude, good to hear I'm not the only one I'm 193-194cm and weigh 85kg (athletic build) I struggle to get them on my quads and then they're a bit loose on the waist. But the straps make up for it so nicely.
Great explanation 🇲🇽 ✌️
I've always used some pretty expensive bibs but shy away from Assos because they were just crazy expensive. I saw their latest model of the Mille GTO on sale for $100 off so I got a pair. When I first went to put them on I was thinking this can't be right, they are way to small. But low and behold they were the right size. The material stretches out to form to your body in an amazing way. They come in to versions a regular length and a long leg length. I like long. They stay down and don't creep up my legs and the comfort is unlike any other bib I've used. You might want to give them a try and if you don't like the fit you can always return them. They also have a two year warranty. I've never gotten a set a bibs to last me even two years.
Have a look at la passione, the minimal bib shorts have excellent grippers and compression. Don't let the indicated inseam length fool you. I am 181cm and 70kg, and take a small, it's perfection. The material they use for these bib shorts are super stretchy.
+1 on La passione, 6'3 and 150 and got a medium in the PSN bibs. They are the longest bibs I own and the straps are by far the most comfortable I've ever worn. I do wish now though I followed their size chart more closely though and got a small as the seat of mine while off the bike feels a bit loose.
I agree with you about the 7mesh bibs, although not as slim I’m 188cm in height and find the leg length far too short. Pity as everything else about them is good. Ive started to get pedal mafia bibs from Perth in Aus, super comfy and great longer leg length. Aussie sizes are bigger than the Italian/Raphael/et al so you’d have to ask them about the leg length at the size you’d be looking at.
I'm in the same boat. Another good brand would be q36.5
Glad I found this at 187cm and 65kg I have similar problems, I’ve found Castelli good for very slim fit on the bibs even getting away with XL despite what the size guide says. however the shoulder straps still are a little short and mess with my posture.
Annoyingly a general rule of thumb for clothing has been if it’s the most expensive legit pro team tier I’ve found the sizes tend to get taller not fatter but it’s not always the case and gets very expensive. I have the same issue with mountaineering kit too with my long arms
Hello, second comment as I've just remembered the Castelli oomloop bib shorts are EXTRA long, and go almost over most mere mortal's knees. They came out a few years back for pros to use in the spring classics, and I've seen them used by real pro racers I know and they all say how good they are [not paid to] So they could be perfect.
I'm scrawny, and I like the info on this video. I've noticed that with my Specialized bibs...they are looser in the leg opening that I'd like.
I have the same issue. Currently, I feel good in these bib shorts, Castelli free aero race 4 bibshort and Biehler bibshort. For your reference.
As a fellow freak(188c 160#) I find Specialized has some well fitting bibs, also Gore Bike has several in both summer and winter constructions below and above the knee. I also like endura and Sugoi
Video right up my alley! 198cm, 80kg. Also have the Endura bibshorts! Absolutely love them :)
You wear size M? I'm similar proportions
@@davomccranko I wear a L, fabric fits nice 'n tight :)
Hi Guys.Im 194cm 81kg Picked up a pair of Endura Pro sl long a couple of weeks ago in medium,as perfect for my size as they come.Also for a cargo short I have a pair of Sportful Giara, very good as well with almost perfect leg length.Like Rides of Japan Im tall and skinny and find it super difficult to find cycle clothing that fits,luckily I have a sewing lady that does alterations if needed.Castelli tops in large fit both jerseys and jackets,the Alpha ROS jacket with the inner zipped layer is also a good choice for a winter jacket(I live in Tasmania).Cheers guys.
Great vid as always!!! 1 suggestion: have you considered some leg strength training? It would definitely help in the glutes tigh areas and riding in general ;)
Strength training?... I heard that’s something you do off the bike... madness 😉
I'm a big beanpole (195cm and 70kg) and I can't go past the Pedla SuperFIT Knicks. The length is ideal and the lack of stitching makes them super comfy. I highly recommend them
Nicholas Canterbury what size are you wearing?
I actually got the pedla cargo bibs in small, but the leg gripper was rapha-style flappy so quickly sold them on to a mate. They felt really nice though.
I'll throw in a personal favorite and tip: the Gore C7 long distance bibs.
How much do u weight and how tall r u? Looking to see if they'd work for me given your size
If you want a winter weight bibshort, Castelli Omloop is worth a try
Best thumbnail ever?
As an XXL (heading towards XL) I can’t find anything in Japan and have found ordering Rapha (when on sale) has been good for me at the other end of the spectrum.
Let me throw in another potential option. I'm 184cm/85kg and have quite big thighs. Size M always works for me, but recently I brought bib shorts from Morvélo and they are unbelievable long. So long in fact, that I need to think twice before wearing them on a sunny day, because the tan line will be just above the kneecap.
*I just checked their website and the sizing chart says inside leg length to be 32cm for both M and S!
If your never heard or tried La Passione from Italy. Try their products. The go-to cycling clothes for my 196 cm, long legs and arms and overall spider body.
Hi, what size do you wear, and what do you weigh? Thanks.
@@davomccranko Normally size XL with the bib shorts of LP. I weigh approximately 78 kilograms and have - relatively - long legs compared to my torso. With LP there can sometimes be some difference in sizing between their products - because of the tight race cut. On the other hand, LP clothing usually has such stretch properties that it actually always fits well. At least with me.
This is so much the opposite of what I'd expect. I have thick thighs and I have issues finding jeans or shorts that don't feel like my circulation is being cut off without looking like dumpy dad shorts. While shopping for bibs, it always feels like they make them for those lanky looking guys in the peloton and not for people with thick thighs. I had no idea this was an issue. Good tips and glad you found some options!
Seems like most brands just go straight down the middle, then make custom for their sponsored riders.
@@ridesofjapan ah! I always forget about the custom route. That's true! Maybe you could find some hand-me-downs from those pro riders :P though I don't know if I'd ever want to buy a used bib lol
@@deeranfoxworthy6069 hehe, yeah. can not think of any other less appealing solution 😂
6’1” 150# , 185cm 68kg.
I am 46 and have worn the same size pants since I was 20.
191cm /64kg and all legs. I know that struggle. My Rapha Pro Team V1 "long" work good for me, as well as their insulated version. I recently picked up a La passione PSN Bibshorts. It works well. But the absolut Bang for the bucks/Budget recommendation I have is the Sportful Neo Bibshorts. Longer then all the others, very comfy (even for 300km!) and you can pick them up for 50-60€ in Europe.
191cm 60kg here (I'm 16 so nothing to worry about). Sounds like I should give rapha a go then
Endura makes long in certain models. Check carefully before ordering because the ‘normal’ length , which is the default, is egregious.
Also, Pactimo make long in certain models. Long to them is 26.5 cm.
An aside on Pactimo leg warmers and tights- they make them with zippers at the ankles. Super good feature not found from hardly any other mfr. . There’s also a nice thermal tight without pad- a nice option seldom seen. Pactimo seems to have it together.
Nice Video as always, I love your stuff... and its really interesting in which areas one can dig to become a little bit strange ;-) . 2cm is not so serious if you cope with tan lines two cm higher as usual or if you have a 2cm shorter Pant and one of your prefered length, you will get two tan lines with a nice tricolore.
I saw Isoles out of Denmark make long leg versions of their bibs.
Fellow lank here- super helpful review.
I'm 190cm, 70kg and for jeans my waist size is 30 inches. I only have one pair so far, from Castelli. Not sure about the model, but it might be a Velocissimo. But I did get it in XL and its skin tight everywhere. Unfortunately I don't have any comparison when it comes to the padding (only a MTB short with padding, but not really comparable), but I'm usually pretty comfortable in my Castelli on rides up to 100km. Will keep an eye on the padding situation though, maybe I was simply satisfied because it was better than no padding at all ^^
Tldr short recommendation at the end.
Ok so I'm am almost your exact measurements + 1cm in height. I have also struggled with bib length, and I had the v1 of the maap bibs for a long time. For me, those were great, but would sometimes slip. I tried the endura bibs, and like you said the length was great. Likewise, I also didn't like that they didn't have a gripper band and were just lazer cut. My biggest problem, however, was the height of the short up my stomach. It just really was not tall enough, and I would get a gap between the shorts and my small-xsmall jerseys if I stood upright, so for like the last couple of months I've been looking for bibs that were tall up the front. I tried the eroe bibs that someone commented. Those were still short and didn't stay in place for me, but were exceptionally tall up front.
I just tried the le col pro blackout bibs in a small, and these are perfect!! Nice, big leg grippers, really long (13 cm from the front of the knee/ 28-29 cm on person), and tall enough that they even cover my belly button so there is no gap to my jersey. Try them out!
Tldr:
Try the le col pro bibs, it's like they are built specifically for lanky people.
i really enjoythe Endura pro sl + 4 CM
I'm no spider myself, but I've tried shorts without bibs RH+ and have found them comfy.
Well, hello from the other side of the spectrum. It sucks to be down there, too. Pretty hard to find bibs for a shorty with wider base. Ended up with 7mesh and Castelli..
The Athletic socks? I love them
Somebody already mentioned it but Black Bibs makes a tall version of their bibs with extra length, though honestly, I find their regular sized bibs already a bit long... then again, I like my shorts to fit shorter.
I am the same dimensions as Rides of Japan and have tried a ton of bibs. I also recommend the Black Bibs long version size small. Can’t beat the price and quality honestly.
2:52 good god man.
I have this problem somewhat, but my hips and quads are not skinny, but I’m still wearing a small with a 27” waist and 34” hips. I can’t wear bibs though I hate straps. Roka only offers their bib shorts on special, but they do offer an 11” inseam over the 9”, that’s a great length for me. I cut off the straps and I like the laser cut hem they have.
I’m the same height as you, wish I was the same weight!
Take the loose fitting ones to a tailor. If you have an old one worn out elsewhere you can add length from those.
Bibs are expensive enough as it is ;)
Fun fact. 7 mesh was formed by arcteryx employees (high end outdoor gear, ultrasonic welded seams, only company that gore allows to work with goretex in their won factory. Alot of 7 meshes has simmilar high end construction as my mountaineering gear. The price they're asking for compared to other brands is super reasonable.
I'm a small in 7 mesh but I'm 6ft 4 and about 195lbs. Built like a sprinter skinny waist thick thighs and big upper body.
I'm at the opposite end of the scale: I have very thick thighs for my height (183 cm) and I find myself quite often having to choose between bib shorts which fit the upper side of my body just fine but are way too tight on the thighs and bib shorts which properly fit my calves but stay way too loose on the body and shoulders. And the irony is that the models I've been used for years have started becoming tighter and tighter on the thighs for the same size as newer iterations were put on the market up to the point I had to move up from a size L to a size XL (even though all my other pairs of bib shorts are size L). And of course, because of that, the chamois-covered area is bigger than previously as well and is therefore misaligned.
Judging by the comments this far, there seem to be quite a few outliers in both directions... you would think that some brand would pick up 😔 (without going custom tailored)
(188 cm / 64 kg.) I’ve never found bibs that fit right and probably never will. Some people will suggest the Black Bibs. A lot of people like them. They’re definitely cheap but I found they feel cheap too-they chafe horribly after ~1.5 hours or so. I’ve liked some stuff from Gore just because the straps and legs are often very stretchy but the inseams are a bit short. And I have found consistently that even the nicest Pearl Izumi shorts are super short + have straps that crush my 🥜. I’m going to try the Enduras out. Thanks for the rec and video fellow spider 🙏
I'm exactly that height and weight, and I've been solely running Pactimo for the last 8+ years because it's the only bib w/ a cuff that fits me properly. I always run size small. And the shoulder straps have plenty of stretch and never tight or pulling down.
Chris Shimonkevitz Noted, guess I’ll try Pactimo then. Thanks for the rec. Can’t beat finding someone with the exact same measurements
I am far off from belonging to the spider people but the thumbnail is 👍 and I always like your videos!
Thanks for the effort you put into every one 😎
orci77 🙏
I'm currently 185cm and 72kg... so not in this very refined category... however. I think my new Albion Cycling ABR1 Bib Shorts might be perfect for you. The length goes almost to my knee and I have a pretty long leg to body ratio. They're su[er comfy, and the straps on the shoulders are very stretchy but support well. They do world wide shipping too. Nice one.
Rich Mitch what size are you wearing?
@@ridesofjapan just checked, i'm clearly a big lad ;-) I'm a medium... reckon you'd be smaller for sure. But the kit is brilliant quality.
Rich Mitch I’ve gotten the same recommendation for a lot of “medium riders” 😉
The leg length difference between medium and small is more that most seem realize. But I appreciate the tip non the less 👍
I was wondering what RidesOfJapan was doing. Bibbing it up it turns out. :)
hey brother im 5 foot 5....126lbs CRAFT train pack bibs are good try the HALE glow craft bibs......for taller guys
Eliel Cycling make nice bib shorts with 28cm (11") inseam. Made in California. I love mine. Longest ride has been 375km
Great idea to raise this topic! I am 193 cm and 72 kg. So the Endura is probably best. BUT how about the quality of the shammy’s? That is very important as well!
I have no issues with the shammy, then again, never had any issues with shammy on bibshorts I’m this level. Only time I had problem was on cheap custom “club kit” back in the day.
I should however mentioned that you can choose the shammy width on the endura bib.
I'm 203cm and 88kg, I've been using castelli endurance shorts, size medium. Given up on bibs... Have no problem with no shoulder straps. I don't find them to be excessively short, but I used to be a split short wearing competitive runner, so don't listen to me 🤣
Fellow twig here , I also have to get longer bibs in size small
This focuses heavily on the leg but at 6’4” my issue has always been the bib pulling down on my shoulders/neck, even with size large. I gave up. It would be nice to have adjustable straps. I just wear shorts and don’t bother anymore.
If only you could do a video for the rest of the clothes in my wardrobe.
199cm and skinny upper body, everything is a nightmare 😭
Just the advice i was looking for! 197cm for 74 kg, i guess i’ll trie the M size Endura if it Ships to EU ... thanks!
finally a video for me i'm 180 and 59 kg and no shorts fit me well
You must try Gobik Revolution 2.0 ❤
Great video! Well I am 194 cm and 90 kg, so bibshorts is not really a problem for me. But my achilles' heel is head tube length and frame geometry. I think a lot a bike companies mess up the geometry and the looks of bikes by putting in a >20cm head tube, so your basically riding around looking like a bus with the agility of an aircraft carrier
Out of interest what size bib and brand do you wear? I'm a same height and a few kg lighter and never been too happy with the clothing I go for
Ridley are good for good stack geometry, if you need more head tube. Strong bikes for big powerful riders. Trek in their S2 geometry does longer headtubes. I'm 194cm and 83 kg
@@jamiewellington6208 This summer I tried bibshorts from "Rose" here in Germany as a budget option. Size XL and I have nothing to complain. If you are a bit lighter, maybe L is enough but XL feels super solid for me
Great video, thanks for the advice. I also mountain bike and prefer not to wear road bib shorts. Most mountain shorts way too baggy. Any advice for slim fit mountain bike shorts, even without pad inserts. Thanks
Sorry, mtb is not on my radar
I was almost sure that title of the video is a pun for Rapha Powerweave Bib Short. Especially for a weight weenie, considering their low weight.
あなたの立派な静脈血管がアスリートの証ですね。素晴らしい。ビブの特集はユニークですね。Tour de Franceで人気のないところで走りながら何かぷっぷーしてますが、丈の長さも影響しますね。
I have been rocking the endura sl long legs for 2 months now, super happy with them. 193cm / 70kg, always have problems with cycling clothing. Do you have any recomendations for jerseys? They are often too short for size M for me too.
I feel you, 193cm 75 kg. when I stand you can always see my belly button. I am desperate.
I’ve found the Void jerseys has been a nice fit for me in small.
although it was a few seasons ago I bought a rapha aero jersey and sized up to medium, got some of that length while still have a decently tight fit.
castelli climbers and areo race jerseysin large . im 193 72kg and they fit me good.
I'm 188cm in a m, and I love the black bibs ultimate short inseam myself.
Can you compare the ultimate to the regular chamois? I'm thinking about getting some. I like the regular fine but I'm sure it could be better.
@@peterbroberg3081 I haven't tried the regulars, but I would recommend a try given my experience with the ultimates plus the price.
193 cm 72 kg. Any sportful shorts in large and castelli jerseys in large fit me well. Castelli climbers and areo race jerseys work well for me.
you know, people with athletic build have it hard too. Many clothes of different brands are too tight in chest area in size L and too big in belly area in size XL. The same with long trousers, if something fits on my thigs it will be too big in the ankle xD
damn I usually have the problem that my legs are to thick for most shorts, they are ok but its a bit harder to put on.
We all have our issues 😝
🤣 great stuff man
Spider team : 1m83 and 86cm inseam.
Rapha cargo bib in small is ok for me. Assos in small is not ok for exemple.
Interesting topic! You need to visit an alterations tailor 😁 The Endura pro SL long leg is now my "go to" bib short. Im 188cm, 79 kg and always find normal sizes way too short. Except my thighs are not skinny like yours - 41cm at the short leg opening. I went for the narrow pad (why do they offer wider pads??)
I was really struggling to decide witch pad size to go with, always preferred larger pads (oddly enough) so went with medium, it works fine but I will definitely try the small pad if I get another pair.
@@ridesofjapan ah, maybe because i use an ism saddle where there the contact point is a bit further back. I've got the shorts in narrow and medium pad and can't notice a difference. But i don't know of other brands that offer diffenrt size pads. I guess more choice is never a bad thing 😁
@@adrienlimsowtin6662 I use the wide pad since I also have wider sit bones and use a fizik Aliante Large -> perfect fit
Great video. I am a very similar size. I have had my eye on the Endura long. I have the old version just in normal length. Can I ask what size you settled on? According to sizing I am between xs and s. I have xs of old version and it feels a bit compressed/ tight. Thanks
Size small
Cheers!
Have some santini bib shorts at the moment and i wore em yesterday after not wearing shorts for months and the length was so short like it was covering less than half of my leg lmao
Rapha actually do bibs shorts with regular or longer legs
Correct, as mentioned in the video 6:44 😉
Well, we are the same height at least!
I was kinda hoping for you to get a maap sponsorship 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
Thanks for making these videos, all of your videos are great! I have a hard time finding quality cycling clothing that fits me well, I am tall and skinny like you. Maybe you could make a video / list of all your other favorite pieces of cycling kit for all different weather conditions
Can you do likewise for bib tights please
Impossible to find tights that fit nice in my experiance, so I only use Thermal bibs with leg warmers.
Theoretically this video isnt for me as I can wear a size medium bib with 183cm and ~70kg. But with spider legs, it is also hard to find a well fitting bib. I went for Gore (I think C7) and it is a tad short, but has awesome straps. My favourite is the Rapha Core Cargo bib with its excellent pad and length. The straps could be a little longer. A mix of these two would be perfekt I guess.
I wish I could use rapha, but all their S size bibs have the flappiest leg gripper in the world on me 🕷
I'm only 175cm (71kgs(big ass I think)) but have the same problem with leg length. I've been using the Endura Pro SL. I first tried the minimal pad, but that isn't good for long rides, gone over to the medium pad; at the moment only on the turbo trainer, but have to admit I'm not impressed with the padding on Endura so far.
1m91, 73kg, i feel you 😅 I wear Assos Large
Hey, try prism.bike. Has super long legs and can even ask for an extension. super comfy bibs. I'm 183 and run a small knicks too.
Thanks, had a look atthe site but no mention of an extension options for a single bib order 🤔
any suggestions closer to or under $100? I'm ~190cm 75kg .. I've tried the black bibs Co but they're a bit too cheap and don't fit well
I am 180cm, 95kg with short legs, big ass and thights. I have not one piece of gear that fits me. I need size 2xl bibs to even get in and then they are way to long. Castelli Gabba Jacket in 2xl, still feels too tight around upper arms and armpits, at the Same time sleeves are about 10cm to long. This is so frustrating.
any recommendations for jerseys? I am 185cm and 65kg and struggle to find anything that is long enough in the torso and arms but isnt flappy
Katusha ICON Long bibs - I have some and they are just brilliant. They add 4.5cm to their normal bib and they fit me a treat. I'm 185cm, 68kg, with a slim and V-E-R-Y long leg length, and these grip my skinny legs perfectly and look and work great. I take a medium and they come to just above my knee - the inseam measures at 30cm using your scientific measurement method, which is exactly what Katusha say they are. They say size Small measures 29cm, so I've no reason to believe it won't be true. I just checked the Katusha website and it looks like they don't have any available at the moment, but when available again, definitely worth checking them out. They do have Small in stock at Bike24 - ON SALE - if they ship to Japan. Good luck - and keep creating the entertaining content
Mark Bainbridge excellent cheers for the tip 🙏
Mark Bainbridge ordered! 🙌
@@ridesofjapan Whoo hoo - I hope you like them as much as I do :-)
Mark Bainbridge quite the impulse buy there hehe... but when they actually specify the Inseam for once, they should be rewarded! (Also that sale was too good to pass up with it being VAT free to Japan as well)
Thanks again!
I really laughed a lot 😂😂
Craft (Sweden) is actually good for tall and thin, even though not as skinny and lanky as Tobias.
