I've decided to have Luxire make a pair of trousers for me, so I measured a pair that I have that I like the fit of. I have two questions. First, do the measurements I took look sane, i.e. did I make some kind of glaring mistake that is obvious to those of you who measure trousers a lot? Second, I'd like to add a fishtail back and rear cinch strap. Does anyone have any experience having fishtail back trousers made by Luxire? What should I tell them to make sure that I end up with a good result? I imagine I'll want to add some to the back rise measurement and possibly some to the pant length measurement, but how much? I'll post some fit pics of the existing trousers in a couple of hours when my wife gets home.
The trousers I have are a bit short, so I added 1 1/2 inches to the inseam and the overall pant length. Otherwise, these are the actual measurements (note that I am 6'4" and a little on the slim side):
Half waist*: 17.5
Inseam: 35
Thigh*: 14.25
Half hip*: 24
Front rise: 13
Knee*: 10
Pant length: 46.5
Back rise: 19.5
Bottom/ankle opening*: 9.5
*Taken with the garment laying flat, aka 1/2 measurements
