I wear Iron Heart 633s. You can only get them at self edge and they come with a 36" inseam. Hands down the best jeans I've had in terms of quality and durability. I'm currently wearing a pair that is 6 years old and have been repaired multiple times.
These are spendy but an interesting option. I generally try and stay under $100 for jeans, but I might have to splurge on a pair of these.

Levis are truly badly made jeans. If you want something cheap, Wrangler are your best bet. As above, Iron Heart are gonna be good for you as they come in 36" and will last you for years.

Buy cheap buy many times.

Levi's 501 shrink-to-fit. Indigo, black. 60's - 70's, 90's - present

80's guilty of trendy aberration of wearing 'designer' Guess jeans

early 90's tried Land's End, inconsistent quality/sizing, went back to Levi's

OP just asked what people were wearing....didn't specify a price point.

Plenty of low cost options being tossed out as well.

Levi's regular fit 505s, they have 36 length. My fiancé is 6'3", she really struggles to find pants long enough.

I'm brand-agnostic so long as they are Levi's, Lee, or Wrangler. The Levi's I wear are the 505 model. No idea what the Lee or Wranglers are.

Under $100 would be better but I'm not averse to a splurge once in a while. I lost 42 lbs and 4+ inches off my waist so I am fine with treating myself in this instance, esp when I'm only going to buy maybe 3 or 4 pairs total.

Tellason is my other choice. Made in the USA.

These come the inseam is super long and you can request to hem them a certain length.

OT - what jeans do you wear?

After wearing Levi for years, I wear Prana and Kuhl jeans. They have some stretch in them and have the various cuts. Generally on the slimmer side of straight leg. My size is fairly off the rack at 33x32

In high school I worked at a jeans store and was required to wear the hot brands- Sasson,Jordache and Sergio Valente. Even being a skinny kid, those jeans were like sausage casings. But my butt looked good.

i did wrangler cowboy cut for years and years before i switched to levi 511 strrrretch jeans. the wranglers material, on the face of it, is more durable - but no stretch at all. id blow the crotch out of my wranglers - straight up tear the crotch out - in no time. so what if theyre $30 bucks vs. $90ish - i wear em tight to show off my beefy quads and glutes and need to be able to lift my knee to 90 degrees too much for that.

if (maybe they do by now?) wrangler would ever make a cowboy cut with some stretch to em, id consider going back
