Ok, thanks for checking

They have Draggen jeans like Diane and I wear at the Road Riders in San Jose.  I know they have 34" and I believe they have longer...  Blue and black options.  I don't have the super fancy jeans, but I wear them to work in a jeans friendly environment with no problems and they're reasonably comfortable.  Even good for the occasional "That's why I wore my Kevlar jeans today..." joke.

Thanks Frank, who is "they"?

Yea, I'm looking hard at the basic Dragging jeans....not the $400 pair...

Pat,

Maybe take a ride up to San Berdu and take a look at the Kevlar jeans first hand. They carry multiple brands in multiple price ranges. Bonus is.....You can actually try them on and sit on a bike in their showroom too check how they feel in a riding position.

Really poor grammar, sorry.  "They" is Road Riders San Jose, a local shop.  My point was more that Draggen has your size I think.

Pat,

We have another brand that offers Dupont Kevlar that look like they may have your size. They offer a 35" and 36" inseam depending on waist. You can check them out when you get here.

Thanks guys, yes, Draggin is the top of my list....the Holeshot pants look the best, but $$$
Robert is coming up with a solution for me....what a guy!
Yea Fred, I walk into Chapparal Motorsports and immediately go into sensory overload. So much to see....
I could spend hours in that store.

Thanks again guys! I'll post a follow up review.
