Umm, "inseam" is not a very precise measurement -- it varies depending on fashion, and how you like to wear your pants. Is there some measurement on the body that can be used instead? I don't know whether the 109% is supposed to be of the measurement from my crotch to my ankle, the bottom of my foot, the bottom of my trousers, or something else. -- Morris M.
