I have a jeans problem. I'm a 'tweener. A size 36 falls off of my waist and looks odd when tightened with a belt. Meanwhile a size 34 is uncomfortably tight and impossible for tucking. That leaves me searching for the difficult-to-find size 35 waist. Why exactly do most jean makers refuse to make this size? I've ordered from Todd Shelton after reading good reviews but I'm stuck on a 6 week backorder wait. Anyway, I need suggestions of jean makers that make the 35 variant. I'm not afraid to pay up for a good pair. Thanks for the help.

I've always had this problem too. I'm a little closer to a 36w than in the past, but GAP 35w jeans always used fit me just right. That's about the only retailer I've ever noticed to carry them. There's 501 STFs too. If you're a 35, I'll assume you've got thicker legs; and 501s fit that body type pretty well.

Yeah, you have a lot of options. Tailoring and shrink-to-fit being the best ones, short of a brand that makes a 35.
Clothing makers start to skip sizes as you go up for the simple fact that an inch is a smaller percentage when it's 1/36th instead of 1/28th. Same with shoe sizes when you pass size 12 and never see a half size above that.
