Do u guys think a 90 cm inseam at 181 cm height is too much....and that too including 178cm wingspan.

[a]

Well, as this post has been talked about before, I have given an example to the related users. I'll also give that example to you.


https://www.imgmodels.com/albertreed1/milan/men/portfolio LOOK AT THE TOP LEFT, THERE'S AN ICON BELOW THE "MEN" TEXT. Click on it to see the models' measurements.
This guy is 188cm and has an inseam of 84cm.

https://www.imgmodels.com/joelmeack/milan/men/portfolio
This guy is 188cm and has an inseam of 86 cm.

https://www.imgmodels.com/dylanfender/milan/men/portfolio
This guy is 188cm and has an inseam of 81 cm.

So yeah, 90 cm will be too much.

[a]

Also, how the hell is your inseam too much? If I get lengthened +12 cms, I wouldn't even hit 90cm inseam.

[short]

90/181 = 0.497
It's in the longleg range but OK.

Average inseam to height ratio, men:

- above 180cm = 0.48 to 0.50
- between 170cm and 180cm  = 0.46 to 0.48
- below 170cm = 0.44 to 0.46

Men on average have a ratio of 0.478

[a]

Lol? So that model with 81 inseam has a ratio of 0.43085106383

the other one has 0.45

the other one has 0.44
 They all are disproportionate then!

[short]

They aren't, but it's more common for taller people to have higher inseam/height-ratio than shorter ones.

Also limbs and torso grow alternately and not at the same time. Depending on when/in which phase growth stops people are short or long-legged.

There is a military-study that shows that men in WW2 (~173cm) had the same torso size than men today in the army but 7cm shorter legs.


AND don't forget in the fashion industry pants length is often used as inseam length which isn't the same we are using for inseam/height-ratio!!!

The model measurements are PANTS INSEAM! It’s way different! It’s a lower number.
The TRUE inseam is measured from pelvis (behind the balls, pushing a book quite hard) to the floor.
The normal range is from 0,42 to 0,50. What “short” told is right, taller people generally has longer limbs and so and higher inseam/height ratio.
Every model I’ve seen has quite long limbs, according to the beauty standards of the fashion world.
True inseam is a measurement often used by the bikers, it’s needed to calculate the right bike that fit you.

Don't consider me as stupid but I've always thought when the scientific papers about body ratios mentioned "inseam length", I've always considered it as the "pant inseam length".

I think they always talk about true inseam because it’s definitely more precise. Anyway you can just check if the ratio looks reasonable or not. If you check in bikes forums you can find many topics about inseam with hundreds of measurement of the true inseam.
0,43 is a low number, as common as a 0,50 ratio. I don’t think there are many models so short legged lol

[a]

The thing I don't get is, what measurement do they exactly use in leg to body ratio? It should not be the true inseam, because you would be missing the upper part of your legs such as your butt.

[Kal el]

Hey dude a.....what you are thinking about is leg length not inseam..inseam and leg length are diff. Things.

[Kal el]

Inseam length gives quiet a knowlegdge about how long your legs are

[short]

What's the problem? The pelvic bone belongs to the torso. So measuring from pelvis to floor is a fixed number. Btw when you know your inseam and your height, you know your sitting height.

Both inseam and height are the easiest to measure and therefore most accurate.
Sitting height for example sucks to measure and depends on body-fat/muscle index.

So just measure your inseam and your height and calculate the ratio. Everything between 0.42 and 0.50 is normal.

Absolutely agree

Depending on what you said i have 75cm inseam (from crotch bone to floor) and  i am 166cm tall. So my ratio is 0.45. Add 14cm to be 180 and the ratio becomes 0.49 and add another 5cm to 185 and the ratio becomes 0.50.how is that possible?

What is your height and inseam

[Kal el]

Yes tht's the thing....all those 6'2(188) models have those measurements as their pant inseam not their real crotch to floor measurement....i think so😬

You are overthinking this like 90% of this forum. In the real world people rarely see the difference. There is too much variation in proportion in real life for people to even bat an eye.

[John wick]

I have also a friend who is 179cm tall and his legs are longer than mine about 16cm. he wear the sime upoer clothe size as mine. The only difference is his arms. He wear some time xs size in t-shirts. I think the important proportions in your body (if you dont have already long legs) is your head length and arms.

[John wick]

We also have have the sime sitting height and we both are lanky men
