Take that measurement and double.

Measuring leg length for pants. For shorter legs, 30” or 75cm will suffice. Place the top of the measuring tape on your waist at the point. Grab your favorite pair of pants and lay the bottom cuff flat.

For example, if our pant sizing chart shows a 7″ ankle, it will be 7″ regardless of whether the pant is a 26″ inseam length or a 36″ inseam length. You will want to measure the circumference of your waist at the narrowest. The inseam on your shorts should be measured from the crotch to inner leg along the inside.

I don’t have an image, but i went down to only 9 ½ inches at the ankle, which gave me.

Tape measure from asis to medial. Stand up with legs completely straight. Measuring your outside leg length is the final part of your measurements.

The knee width should be measured 2” above the halfway point of the inseam. The circumference of the waist, measured at the narrowest point of the trunk, just above the belly. If you’re taller or you’ve got longer legs, 34” or 87cm might be a better fit.

For my front leg at knee level, i measure 8 inches, my pant pattern measures 10 inches. There are probably a couple ways to measure leg length, but the valid by my standards (i don’t know what the literature says) is this. Most pants have two main seams.
