Will pay 5 cents a stitch for you to; 1 - Cut to length, taking particular care with the inseam measurement.
2 - Sewed up them now shorty leg lengths.

Ten inches is extreme. Haven’t you tried on the next smaller size, say, a 34/32 instead of a 34/34?

Maybe I exaggerated the length, for emphasis.
What I do know is that plenty need to come off when one is not overly tall.

Never thought of shorts having to be shortened. This is a new concept for me.

Don’t you like Bermuda shorts, Bob?

Here in the states, we order pants/jeans/khakis by the waist size and inseam.
Also, short/regular/tall… for example, Levi jeans in a 30/29, or 32/32 or 34/33…
Ladies can also get petite length for those of us 5’4" and shorter. I rarely have to hem my trousers.

Bermuda shorts are for those who are a bit modest perhaps? That’s also if you are one to sit with your legs apart, and don’t encourage peekers.

Levi’s still bog standard 32 inch waist - 30 inch leg!
Never raised eyebrows in the launderette…
Maybe that’s just as well…

That reminds me a Scotsman I saw who was wearing a kilt…

I should’ve said Bermuda-style running shorts or sport shorts that are a bit longer but made of comfy lightweight and breathable material.

I must not have been there. I’m sure I would have recalled the adventure, er…event,er…innocent meeting!

You probably would since it couldn’t have been more explicit. It was a photo taken at the last soccer Euro Cup and went viral answering the question of what Scotsmen wear …once and for all. I just wondered how that guy could’ve been so oblivious of wearing a kilt. The answer might be that he presumably doesn’t do that often enough.

It was usual for me to need an inch or two off new trousers. Just turn the bottoms up and re-sew rather than cut off them off if it wasn’t that much. Bottoms up! 
I sometimes wore shorts in my cycling/walking days but it was mostly tracksuit bottoms. Being fair-skinned, the tops of my legs would be quite sensitive to sunburn. I decided I’d rather be warm on the tops of the legs than burned, so it was tracksuit bottoms most of the time.
Edit: Mrs mart reminded me how many times the had to take the legs of tracksuit bottoms in (width-wise) so the leg on the chain side didn’t get caught between the chain and cog.

Sally Carr didn’t seem to have issues
She had no reason for it either.
