Always thought Wrangler was a bit redneck, computer-illiterate type brand (no offence to anyone hopefully) but of course it makes perfect sense that a big corporation would monitor the internet I suppose. <br />And you, Parrothead,you should hop a flight and take off to Laos or Cambodia or something.

My other half has a similar problem to you, not so tall though and only a 34 inch waist.

As a member of the team at Wrangler that works closely with the retailers you mentioned, I can feel your pain. Unfortunately, sizes in certain shades don't get restocked in local retail locations as perfectly as we'd like. While I can't guarantee what will be in store today, I did some digging this morning and discovered size 38 x 34 is available on Walmart.com in some of the Wrangler Regular Fit Five Star finishes. 38 x 34 is available in Regular and Relaxed Fit on Wrangler.com. If you have any further questions, you can always give us Wrangler a call directly at 1-888-784-8571, Monday-Friday, 8am-5pm EST. Or you can email us at wranglerweb@vfc.com. Thanks again for being a loyal customer -- we're proud you're a Wrangler guy.Soulsearcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16301612136982602181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-829836469690492751.post-58011763503757289732012-03-16T07:56:21.993-04:002012-03-16T07:56:21.993-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Ranch Chimphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14086251248546955720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-829836469690492751.post-68662163596011951432012-03-16T07:44:10.269-04:002012-03-16T07:44:10.269-04:00I have heard also Bum like the other's who com...I have heard also Bum like the other's who comment about the Big/ Tall type place's, ... I know locally here (they got a few different type's around Dallas) that many pro- athelete's go there. As far as assuming your a basketball player if I met you face to face ... my first thought would be surely not to piss you off ... heh, heh, heh, heh, heh : ) I'm 5'11" myself. We ALL have a "style", unless of course you run around butt naked : ) right now as I write this I'm wearing my silk Addida's long pant's (baggy) and my old Miami Beach T- shirt and slipper's ... which I will also wear out on the street later today, without the slipper's though : ) ... my hair is past my shoulder's and I rarely ever run a comb through it ... so it's all over the place (thick). I have more damn clothes than I can shake a stick at frankly, alot as gift's from like my daughter's, wife, etc ... so I wont donate them to charity store's, because it would be somewhat insulting, I can wear them while out with familia or whatever ... but I sure as Hell wouldnt wear them to a nightclub/ music venue, or to work on the car heh, heh, heh, heh, heh : ) I have a couple decent suit's, etc ... but you can also dress with just a sport jacket and jean's and still be presentable without wearing a tie or anything or matching slack's ... and be stylish, yet low key, so a person dont have to overdo it. Being a lover of art though ... I am also a fan of style and fashion, especially for women. If you were to dress anything like in the pic in above post ... that "IS" a style! : ) In my opinion Bum ... spending time searching these mega store's like you mentioned, is like wasting time and pissing in the wimd, plus the gas you spend ... they I would guess strictly deal in "volume" and have lil selection as far as big/ tall, being limited. My wife has been with Target for like over 15 year's, so I "do" get alot from there (I get 10% off), as far as my daily wear, and finding fit's for me is easy.<br /><br />Later Bum ... Oh, and by the way ...

Stuff like the sports coat is usually crap and for the jeans they have do not have the usual brands.<br /><br />Suzan: The main problem was how rushed we ended up with the cruise approaching. Once we got back I sort of just blew the whole thing off since I never do formal events here at home.<br /><br />Randal: Good point, did not think of that.<br /><br />Akelamalu and Windsmoke: It was the nature of the cruise and how caught up we were. On those formal nights I had to get back down to the cabin and clean up since I spent 99% of the rest of the time in my bathing suit, t-shirt, and sandals. It was something that neither of us noticed.<br /><br />And as long as the sleeves of the coat were down you could not see the tag.<br /><br />Pixel: Exactly! Like I wrote I actually found a very nice sports coat but the damn thing was $250 dollars and I was not going to pay that price.<br /><br />John: Tell me about it, I'd like to find a trade like that myself.Commander Zaiushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11000824454124236774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-829836469690492751.post-58314520728643183882012-03-15T21:53:08.163-04:002012-03-15T21:53:08.163-04:00I have a 37 inch sleeve and a size 15 shoe.

If I were Queen, we'd all be wearing the kind of clothes they wore on Star Trek, seven days a week.<br /><br />When I got married to my first husband, I wore maternity pants. Before my second wedding, I walked into a clothing store and started looking. When the sales person approached me, wondering if he could help, I said: "I need a dress, I'm going to a wedding."<br /><br />Fancy, frilly clothing makes me twitchy. I consider khaki pants "dressed up." If I were to get fired from my job, I'd be in trouble...the thought of having to shop for "interview clothes" makes me more nervous than the interview.Pixel Peeperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17553862902461169270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-829836469690492751.post-38710755113233244502012-03-15T16:31:58.299-04:002012-03-15T16:31:58.299-04:00I was gunna say the same as AKELAMALU'S commen...I was gunna say the same as AKELAMALU'S comment :-).Windsmoke.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12225394580987872677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-829836469690492751.post-80549257581044565852012-03-15T14:34:17.649-04:002012-03-15T14:34:17.649-04:00I'm surprised Dragonwife didn't notice the...I'm surprised Dragonwife didn't notice the tag. ;)Akelamaluhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11234268568845148285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-829836469690492751.post-54383530422519848732012-03-15T14:24:33.857-04:002012-03-15T14:24:33.857-04:00If the kids can have the tag dangling from their b...If the kids can have the tag dangling from their brand new MLB cap, why can't you do the same?

My problem isn't with pants - I have a 27" inseam and a 42" waist. The bitch is getting dress shirts - 18<br />and a half neck and short friggin arms - 32". Turtle necks work well in winter but not now. A Lands End knit sometimes is too casual. <br />And, I hate fucking ties...<br /><br /><br />SargeSargehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14892211119418623595noreply@blogger.com
