About Search By Inseam

Search By Inseam (www.SearchByInseam.com) was founded in the fall of 2006 by a tall woman who was frustrated by how difficult it was to locate the inseam length on a pair of pants.  While many online stores allow customers to search by tall, regular, or short, there are often multiple inseam lengths within these categories.  Search By Inseam provides easy comparison shopping at multiple online stores for exact inseam lengths.  The company is focused on helping women of all sizes save time and money, and find pants that fit well.

Q. Whenever I buy pants online, they never seem to fit.  Suggestions?

A. Shopping for clothes online can be tricky, especially when it comes to pants ("Too tight in the butt!" "Too roomy at the waist!" "What's the deal with this crotch?"). Fortunately, searchbyinseam.com makes it easy to land the perfect pair. Just type in the style of pants you're looking for, followed by your inseam size, favorite brands and a price point. Click, and in just a few seconds a selection of pants-all following your specifications-will appear. When you're done browsing and ready to pull out the plastic, a link will take you to a retailer site.

Our popular shorts brands include 18th Amendment, 7 For All Mankind, adidas, Alice + Olivia, Anlo, Bop Basics, Cake Couture, Caslon, Chip & Pepper, Deener, dELiA*s, Dittos, Dizzy Lizzy, Ella Moss, Helmut Lang, Hinge, James Jeans, Johnson, Juicy Couture, KRITIK, Laila Azhar, Lauren Moffatt, Marc By Marc Jacobs, MICHAEL Michael Kors, Nike, Old Navy, Paige Denim, Rag & Bone, Rich & Skinny, Rubbish, sass & bide, Spring Street, Theory, Tommy Hilfiger, True Religion, Vanitas, Vince, and more.

We're in Oprah Magazine!

I'm Quitting My Day Job

July 23rd will mark my first day as a Search By Inseam full-timer!  I've got a wish list a mile long, and I'll finally have time to work on it.  What's in store?  Well, the thing I've been hearing most lately is that women want to be able to buy work/dress pants on the site, and that's near the top of my list.  I'd also like to add some new sellers, products, and content; new behind-the-scenes tools to make adding & removing products easier for me; and community and marketing work so more women can find out about the site.  Let me know if you have other ideas to add my wish list - email contactus@searchbyinseam.com.

Expanding Beyond Jeans

I wear jeans a lot - pretty much everyday.  I'm thankful I work in a casual office where practically everybody wears jeans daily.  In the evenings and on the weekends, I live in my favorite pair of yoga pants.  So, when I was thinking about the next category of pants I wanted to add to Search By Inseam, I decided on pants that we'd all want to live in.  You can work out in some of these as well, but I'm not sure I'd pay $132 for a pair of sweat pants that I'm actually going to sweat in. :)  There's not a huge selection yet, but I'm pleased with the start.  We've got pants priced at $12.99, going up to $132, and we have a few pairs of plus size pants as well.  Inseams currently range from 23 inches to 36 inches.  Check out the new additions, and let us know what you think.  We'll be working on expanding the category over the next few weeks: Workout/Lounge Pants and Plus Workout/Lounge Pants.

The Search By Inseam Story

Welcome to my very first post on my very first blog! 

My name is Corrinne Henderson, and I officially launched Search By Inseam (www.searchbyinseam.com) in December 2006.  I'm a tall woman and I usually have to buy my pants online to get them long enough.  I got fed up with having to click through detail pages and size charts (and sometimes having to email customer service) to find out what the inseam length was on particular pair of jeans.  I needed a site where I could enter my inseam and the brands I like, and easily find a bunch of great pants to compare.  That's how the idea for Search By Inseam was born, and I'm pleased to have solved at least that personal problem! :) 

The site's target market is tall women like me, but as I was telling petite friends about my idea, they said they had a tough time finding pants short enough.  So, I thought it would be good to include them in the concept, too.  And since I was already combing through tons of pants to find tall and short, I decided to categorize everything and include regular length, plus sizes, and maternity as well.  My hope is that Search By Inseam becomes a place where women of all sizes can easily find pants that fit them.  I'm big on saving time and money, while also finding exactly what I'm looking for.  Over time, I want the site to make all those things possible, so I'm working hard on expanding the selection. 

Well, that's a bit about me, and a bit about Search By Inseam.  I plan to use this blog to talk about the site/business, shopping, and of course great jeans!
